Own a video camera and love editing movie files? Odds are you have run across problems when trying to edit your footage like this person:
"I am having a hard time trying to find a way to convert my MXF files (shot on canon xf305) into prores so I can edit in final cut 7. Are there any free programs for this? All trial versions are watermarked or limited to the point of being useless?"
If your camera produces the video files in an MXF file, it can be difficult to edit the footage in Microsoft movie maker (Windows) or Final Cut Pro (Adobe). However, this does not mean that your file is not editable. Instead, you will have to do a little extra work and covert the file to the proper file format.
