Best Convert workflow for Sony PMW-300 XACAM to FCP
Question: 'Hi, I am using a FCP 7 Studio. I recently bought a Sony PMW 300K1 camcorder. The MXF files coming out of this camera are not recognized by FCP 7. Is there a way to handle this without converting the files? Is it possible to edit MXF files on FCP X directly?'
Answer: If you want to edit Sony PMW-300 MXF footage in FCP X, you will need to use the Sony XDCAM Transfer Utility to rewrap the PMW-300 XDCAM MXF into QuickTimes files. However, due to different computer environments, this would not always work as expected. In this case, you will need to convert Sony PMW-300 XDCAM MXF to Apple ProRes for FCP as we should know the best supported video formats fot FCP.
Due to the causes we metioned above, is there any good solutions we can take as the good reference? Fortunatedly, we still have the professional MXF to FCP converter called Pavtube MXF Converter for Mac ( Win ), which is a converter program designed for transcoding HD media, including camera and camcorder videos files to whatever format you need with best video and audio synchronization.
