| [size="4"][b]The article mainly shows you how to transcode MXF files to ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ or 4444 for FCP 6/7/X in detail so that you can get Final Cut Pro work with MXF footage smoothly.[/b][/size]
Canon EOS C500 records 50Mbps OP-1a MXF file format with 8 bit MPEG-2 Long GOP compression codec on CF card. The MXF is a “container” format which supports a number of different streams of coded “essence”, encoded with any of variety of codecs, together with a metadata wrapper which describes the material contained within the MXF file.
As a Canon EOS C500 users, i want to edit the MXF video footage captured with Final Cut Pro. However, the MXF file format is such incompatible that FCP can do nothing with these C500 MXF files.
Read through some posts online and have found some similar MXF to Final Cut Pro problems. Some guys suggest installing the latest updates, trying some MXF plug-ins, but still didn’t work for me. After looking into this more, I know that although Final Cut Pro X offers much better native MXF support than its predecessor, some MXF source like from Avid capture MXF files, P2 MXF in P2 card PROXY or some corrupt MXF clips(without intact structure) still can’t be supported well.
To import and edit MXF files in FCP(X) in a flawless way, the reliable workaround I've found so far is to transcode MXF to ProRes .mov, the most edit-friendly format for Final Cut Pro (any version). And here [b]Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac[/b] is recommended to finish the task in Mac OS X(Yosemite, Mavericks included).
The excellent MXF converting tool has Final Cut Pro native profile with five types of ProRes codecs- ProRes 422, ProRes 422(LT), ProRes 422(HQ), ProRes 422(proxy), ProRes 444. And it allows you freely change the video and audio parameters as you need, of course, it can keep the original quality for editing. I have successfully used it to encode my MXF to ProRes for FCP(X). Download the program and learn the step-by-step tutorial on transcoding MXF to ProRes for FCP below.
[b]Workflow for importing MXF to Final Cut Pro X or FCP 6/7:[/b]

[b]Step 3[/b] -> Click Settings button to adjust the resolution, bitrate, etc. Just customize the parameters to meet your needs. You can set video resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate（from 1Mbps to 20Mbps）, frame rate (24p/30p), etc.
[b]Step 4.[/b] -> Click “Convert” button to start converting .mxf files to Apple ProRes MOV for FCP under Mac OS with the ideal MXF to ProRes Converter.
Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro X as well as FCP 6/7 for editing smoothly on Mac with ease.
