FCP X (Final Cut Pro X) is the most popular video editing software on Mac, it can't surpport Sony XDCAM HD High-Definition Camcorders PDW-F800, PDW-700, PDW-F355L etc. MXF files, you need aSony XDCAM to FCP X Converter for Mac to help you convert/transcode Sony XDCAM MXF/MP4 files to FCP X (included FCP, FCP 6/7) compatible format Apple ProRes 422 MOV for editing on Mac. 

 

Import Sony XDCAM media to FCP X issues 

Q1. I just downloaded the trial version FinalCut X. I've tried to imort video both with XDCam browser, and straight from an external hard drive and gotten the same blank geen screen results. I really think I can work with this software if I could just find out what I am missing. Updated eveything when I downloaded the software. Can someone please help? 

Q2. Hi I'm a TV cameraman and I need to export my edited job from FCP X back to my sony XDCAM F800 camera. I could do this on FCP 6 and 7 back it doesn't seem to work on X does anybody how to do this or any plugins so I can export back to XDCAM. 

Q3. How do I import PDW F800 .mxf files (from my hard drive) into Final Cut Pro? I have tried log & transfer, it doesn't seem to work. Tried XDCAM transfer tool, doesn't work either. Any solutions? 

Q4. I'd like to import and edit .mxf video files in Final Cut Pro, what plug-in do I need to install? Log and Transfer doesn't work because .mxf files are gray out not allowing me to select it. 

Q5: I've been given some MXF files that were made by a Sony XDCAM camera. How do i import those files to FCP? I read a bit and I concluded to Calibrated. Is there another way, maybe a freeware utility? 

As far as I know, FCP X best supported video format is "Apple ProRes 422 codec MOV format", so the best way to solve Sony XDCAM importing and codec problem is to convert Sony XDCAM media footage to ProRes for editing in Final Cut Pro X (or FCP, FCP 6/7).
