Canon MXF to Sony Vegas Converter-Edit MXF file in Sony Vegas
MXF, short for Material Exchange Format, is a new developed video container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. This video format is created specifically for HD digital camcorders. There are an increasing number of professional video editing tools that can work with MXF files natively including Avid, Adobe Premiere Pro 3.1 or above, and Sony Vegas. But some people find it is not convenient for them to
import MXF footages to Sony Vegas for editing.
Since this format is relatively new, many video editors are lacking of native support to it, or are only just starting to add support for this file type. Therefore, MXF camcorders like Canon XF100 users often meet problems one or another while editing .MXF files. To solve the problems, this article will give a solution to
editing MXF file in Sony Vegas.
In fact, Sony Vegas announces that it can work with MXF on its official site, but some users still have troubles when putting MXF files to Sony Vegas. Ok, now let’s take
Canon XF100 to have a test.
Be start with, I will focus on solving MXF problems with Canon XF100, which shots footages in MXF format. Once the footage is recorded longer than 20 minutes, the size of the file will be more than 2GB. Since FAT file system does not support a file more than 2GB size, the camcorder will automatically record the next video clip in a new file. For example, the footage will be recorded like this:
00000.MXF (2GB)
00001.MXF (2GB)
00002.MXF (2GB)
When connecting your Canon to your PC, you can directly operate the storage folder of your camcorder, and then you can copy it to the hard drive of your PC with ease. Also, Vegas can recognize the .MXF files and support to directly import them. Even so, the following problems may happen:
1. Choppy frames at the end of the 2GB MXF footage;
2. Sony Vegas is not able to import the 2GB video clip;
3. The program crashes after the file is imported.
4. It takes much time to render the MXF videos for Sony Vegas editing.
What should we do to successfully
load Canon XF100 recordings to Sony Vegas? It quite easy, the best way to let Sony Vegas work with MXF files is convert these files to Vegas compatible formats like WMV and MOV previously.
