1. Why not use iMixMXF to transfer Canon c500 PL MXF files? 

We all know, Canon EOS C500PL, as one of the most popular professional camcorders, it was loved by most photographers. Due to its vivid high-definition and multiple functions, it has brought us a lot of unforgettable moments and memories. But unfortunately, we can’t import our videos into FCP X directly for editing. Cause Canon C500 PL recoded files are MXF format while the best video format FCP X supported is Apple Pro Res 422 MOV. Thus we need a friendly converter called iMixMXF to transcode MXF format to ProRes 422 MOV.
