Summary: You may find Final Cut Pro 7 won't import XAVC MXF files smoothly. The easy workaround is to convert XAVC MXF to FCP 7 more "edit" friendly codec- Apple ProRes codec. If you are looking for a wise solution about how to import XAVC MXF to FCP 7 for editing, you may have interests about this article. Here is how. 

 

Several questions are found in XAVC MXF to FCP forum: 
"I am working with a new Sony FS7 video camera that records in XAVC codec as .mxf files - Same as the F5 or F55. I have installed the new ProApps update that is supposed to make it easy to use XAVC in Final Cut 7 which I still use and have also updated Quicktime 7. However neither Quicktime 7 nor FCP 7 will open the .mxf files. I have spent time on the FS7 discussion boards and no one can figure out why. Others are also having the same problem though." 

"How do I import XAVC MXF files from my hard drive into Final Cut Pro X? Why I only got the video with no sound after importing to FCP 7?" 

"I got the XAVC MXF files from my stuff without original video information. It can be played well in VLC player. However when I import them to FCP 7 for editing, there is no image. What's wrong? " 

As we all know, playing and editing .mxf footage on Mac is a big problem. The users may be not so familiar with the MXF video format. And they are told that FCP 7/X can support and edit MXF videos perfectly. But things are not so simple. Owing to video codec, computer configuration and operating environment, it is difficult for FCP to recognize XAVC MXF videos. Even though the users can import the XAVC MXF videos to FCP 7/X, some video and audio problems will occur as the above users met. What's more, FCP 7/X can hardly support single XAVC MXF files without video folder. Considering the easy of use and lossless quality, Pavtube Video Converter for Mac is highly recommended here for you to solve your XAVC MXF to FCP 7 incompatible issues.
