[MXF to FCP X]How import Canon XF105 MXF files to FCP X on Mac OS X Lion

Final Cut Pro X has become the first choice for video editing for Mac users. Both professional videographers and amateurs find it a helpful and amazing editing system, although most users also find it very picky about what video formats you can import – almost QuickTime only. A newbie may feel disappinted when the FCP X failed to import recordings from Canon XF105 while experienced users will convert MXF video to Apple ProRes Codec .MOV as output video format more compatible with Final Cut Pro X.

Well, don’t blame to the Final Cut Pro X, the “Import from Camera…” option works just like “Log and Transfer”. The thing is, even FCP 7 does not work with the Canon XF codec. If you want to edit with MXF natively, get Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5…Or convert the Canon MXF to something Final Cut Pro X can edit natively, say Apple ProRes 422 encoded MOV format.

obviously, We need a third-party tool to realize it. Pavtube HD Video Converter for Mac is a nice choice.

Well, I’m not a video professional but I do run into chopping some videos together every now and then for work. I also am looking for a clean workflow to downsize the source videos so I can archive them. I’m looking for some advice on workflow and how to achieve the desired results. Money is not really an issue with software as most of this is for work and I have a decent budget to do these types of things. I also have access to some nice machines to crunch the videos.

I am basically looking for an easy workflow that does a few things:
1. Be able to transfer these videos in the correct aspect ratio into a much smaller WMV container that can be streamed on our intranet for work
2. Be able to easily transfer these videos into a little smaller container for archiving, so they take up about half to 1/3 the space
