XF105 workflow- How to import .mxf files from Canon XF105 to Final Cut Pro X?

Here it mainly shows an easy way to transcode Canon XF105 MXF to Apple ProRes MOV on Mac so that you can smoothly import and edit Canon XF105 recorded MXF footage in Final Cut Pro X without rendering.   



Q1: I love photography and take pictures and have a Canon XF105 and shoot the videos recently, it supports Full HD 1920×1080 resolution with Canon XF codec, up to 50Mbps bit rate and 4:2:2 color sampling. After shooting some .mxf videos with Canon XF105, I want to join various mxf files into one and edit Canon xf105 mxf in FCP X. But I find the problem that Fianl Cut Pro X does not recognize the .mxf videos? What happened?

Q2:I've run into a problem with a project. I copied the entire card file structure of XF105 onto a hard drive, installed all the right codecs...and it's telling me the file structure is invalid. My question is, can I still have all the videos and work them in FCP X?

Q3:I am using the Canon XF105 camcorder. The format is MXF from a memory card. It's kind of obnoxious at the moment since FCP X won't work natively with MXF files, which isn't the end of the world, but is a pain.

So the Question is : How to Import Canon XF105 MXF files to FCP X on Mac 

Answer: Convert MXF to Apple Prores for Final Cut Pro X Editing on Mac OS X 

By Google search, I found a professional HD Video Converter for Mac , which is a best OS X Lion/Mountain Lion MXF Converter for Mac Software. It can not only convert Canon XF105 MXF videos to Prores MOV, but also join videos into one.

Step 3. Click "Convert" to start transcoding the Canon XF105 MPEG2 MXF recordings to Apple ProRes / converting .mxf to .mov videos. After conversion click "Open" to find .mov videos.  

Some more helpful features of the app:
