Encode/Decode PXW-X70 XAVC-L MXF to Avid MC 8 on Mac

Summary: Meet troubles when importing XAVC-L MXF to Avid MC 8 on Mac? This article I’ll concentrate on how to encode/decode X70 XAVC-L MXF to Avid MC. If you are planning to add some XAVC-L MXF clips to Avid MC 8 for further editing on Mac, just read on.


Whatever for Mac users or Windows users, some popular editing software may be taken as good assistants if you are a professional video editor. As Windows users have Windows Movie Maker, Mac users always take the Final Cut Pro X/7/6 as their favorite. For Avid Media Composer, it’s suitable for both Windows users and Mac users. With hundreds of features worthy of listing, some problems or unwanted gaps may appear when editing. For example, Sony PXW-X70 XAVC-L MXF files to Avid MC 8 importing issues.

To be frank, recently on some recording forums there are a few of Sony PXW-X70 users complained that Avid Media Composer can’t recognize X70 recorded XAVC-L MXF files: “Just got the Sony PXW-X70 and I can’t seem to open its XAVC-L MXF or even successfully transcode the video files into something that can be read by Avid MC. I downloaded Brorsoft Video Converter for Mac and the Acrok Video Converters and neither of them works. Very frustrated here, any advice?” “I have purchased Sony PXW-X70 camcorder last week. I have recorded several 1080p videos with Sony PXW-X70 and the recordings are in two video formats. One is XAVC-L and another is AVCHD, when I try to import the XAVC-L MXF files to Avid MC 8, it says the video formats are not supported to import.”
Tips: Avid Media Composer Supported Video Formats

Many users of Sony PXW-X70 camera may all face these problems once or twice, which is the video shot under the XAVC-L code can’t be natively imported to Avid MC 8. Or the raw video X70 XAVC-L MXF can’t be well used on Mac. You got the most fascinating high definition videos recorded by your camera but you can’t do anything on them.

Since DNxHD is friendly with Avid MC, after searching high and low, I got a really easy way to resolve the issue. In fact, this XAVC-L from X70 is wrapped in an MXF file that won’t be imported to Avid MC. To edit XAVC-L MXF in Avid MC 8, a suggestion is to use Pavtube MXF Converter for Mac (Review) to convert XAVC-L MXF to DNxHD MOV- ensuring maximum editing quality and efficiency when working with Avid MC 8.
