"Hi admin, I purchased Canon XF705 yesterday, and I took some short clips outside. I startet a Final Cut Pro X Project on my Mac Pro. This editing software can’t recognize the 4K .mxf footage. How to solve this problem? Should I install a new plug-in? Chuck Condron"
Canon has just announced the XF705 camcorder. The XF705 is the companies flagship model in the XF series and can shoot 4K UHD 50P in full 4:2:2 10-bit. Perhaps the cameras biggest drawcard is actually its new XF-HEVC codec. The XF705 Professional Camcorder features a Canon 1.0-inch 4K UHD CMOS image sensor capable of 4K UHD video capture at 60p and slow motion recording up to 120fps in Full HD, making the camcorder a strong contender for professional productions, ENG applications and more. I believe you can opposite certainly such exquisite picture praises greatly.
If you are a video editor, you may edut the 4K H.265/HEVC or MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 recordings in some professional editing software, such as Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer, Vegas Movie Studio, Acrobat Pro DC, etc. When importing Canon XF705 4K footage to FCP X, it shows codec missing or unavailiable. Even if you can load the MXF wrapper with the H.265 and MPEG-4 codecs in FCP X, you can’t edit the loaded files smoothly, and you have to spend long time on rendering the loaded files. To quickly solve the issue, you’d try transcoding H.265 anf MPEG-4 codec to someting you’re comfroatble with editing using Final Cut Pro X.
