Hello, I am using Canon XF605 and shoot a lot of videos in .mxf format. Now I want to edit the 4K MXF videos in Final Cut Pro. However, the FCP don’t recognize my MXF videos. Any suggestions?
Some google searching shows that i’m not alone with this problem, but i haven’t found a solution. Canon XF605 4K XF-AVC MXF files plays in Final Cut Pro but not in elements organizer, where i get this error message "The selected files can not be played because your system does not have the required compresser/decompresser (codec) installed". Does the problems lie on codec?"
