Canon C300 .mxf files import to Final Cut Pro 7 [Apple ProRes]

[Daron]

I shot footage on the Canon C300. I would like to import my .mxf files to Apple ProRes so that I can edit in Final Cut Pro 6 and Final Cut Pro 7.

Any simple step by step method to get my footage onto my timeline so that I can edit.

Been going around in circles for 2 days with this.

Thanks Daron

Hey Tim!

This is a great starting point! I'm having the same issue now, but in 2015 - any new solutions (the plug-in isn't supported by this version of MAC's OS anymore - 10.9.5)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Ken

KennyCutz,

As of a certain point, Apple no longer supported Final Cut Pro 7 and only continued to support the current version, Final Cut Pro X.  We did provide an update to the plugin for FCP 7 (version 1.4), but the latest version of the Mac OS we know it will work with is OS 10.7.  I still recommend that you download it HERE by selecting OS 10.7 as your operating system.  In some cases, it still works, but we cannot guarantee it will.  If it does not, you will need to convert the MXF files into a format that FCP 7 still supports or you may consider using FCP X.

I use iDealshare VideoGo to convert .mxf files to Final Cut Pro supported Apple ProRes to successfully import and edit mxf in Final Cut Pro.
