Hi, i wanted to purchase my camera, but i wanted to know if my mac is going to recognize the format from this camera. Would i need a cable to connect from the cam to the computer, or would SD cards work? PS: I use final cut pro
Answer
We don't know which Mac, version OSX or version FCP. Assuming all are relatively new, connect the HCV700's USB port to the computer's USB port. Put the camcorder into Play/PC mode. Launch FCP. Under File, select "Log and Transfer"...
If you decide to copy the files from the camera to the Mac, the files will need to be converted (transcoded) before FCP can deal with them. Use a transcoder like MPEG Streamclip from www. squared5.com to convert them to something more useful like MOV or MP4 with h.264 video inside.

Any good program to covert MXF video to Apple ProRes for editing in Final Cut Pro X?

I am a person who deals much with video everyday. I have just bought a new Canon XF305 camcorder which produces very good quality video in the MXF format. However, this kind of video seems not favored by FCP X.
I wonder if there's anyone who can recommend me a program (free or commercial both ok) that can rewrap or transcode my MXF files to the Apple Pro Res codecs in MOV container so that I can then load into FCP X for good editing.
Thanks.
Answer
The MXF format is a very complicated container format which is usually used by professional shoulder-mounted camcorders like the Panasonic P2 card camcorders or the Canon camcorder in your case. In many cases the MXF files cannot be processed correctly by common video converter programs. Because the video and audio are stored separately in different file folders. The Panasonic P2 card camcorders generate file in this way.
If you need a professional MXF converter program I'd suggest you have a try this program: TransMXF.
