Convert Panasonic HVX200 MXF files to Apple ProRes for Final Cut Pro on Mac
One of mine friends try to import MXF files from a Panasonic HVX200 to FCP for editing on Mac. He recorded these videos during his vacation. He want to edit the MXF files with Final Cut Pro on Mac so that share the funny video with us. But he was confused by how to import MXF to FCP on Mac.
As we know that MXF is a file format, which is a "container" or "wrapper" format which supports a number of different streams of coded "essence", encoded with any of a variety of codecs, together with a metadata wrapper which describes the material contained within the MXF file.
In my opinion, converting MXF to FCP supported video formats like MOV, MP4 is the best way. Then I recommend Mac MXF to FCP Converter to my friends. This program also can help Mac users to convert MXF files to other popular video formats like WMV, AVI, FLV, MPEG, 3GP, MKV, VOB, etc on Mac.
At this step, you can select Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) (*.mov) as output format. Then click the "Settings" button and choose 1920*1080 as output video size to keep HD quality. If you are using FCP 7, you can choose Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 4444 (*.mov) as output format.
