Canon C300 VS FCPX does it work?

[Ruben/Sheri]

So I Know C300 is MXF and I did a couple of tests in fact I can give you the link to download original MXF footage from c300, anyway I tried transcodinieg to pro res and everything else you can think of on some 3rd party program and while the file still looks ok it severally degrades from the original witch looks prestine almost like a raw RED file when MXF is viewed on vlc player, so is c300 only for adobe users?? or does some one have a solution when transcoded because at this point looks no better than 5D footage cant really color grade it like your supposed to with C-LOG they have on it, do I really have to use adobe???=( here is the clip that is for download http://vimeo.com/groups/c300/videos/35198347

You can also transcode to ProRes to use in FCPX if you have to. FCPX will ultimately work with any source footage, it may just require some extra legwork at the beginning to get to that point.

This is what I do, transcode in FCP 7 then work it FCP X. There's also a program called xFCPx (http://pika.dk/?p=406) that should be able to do a rewrap for you if you don't have FCP 7, but I haven't tried it yet. There should be an plugin update from Canon very soon for FCP X support.

If you have FCP7, you can bring the native files in through Log and Transfer and they will play just fine with FCPX.

It's too bad Canon hasn't released any kind of plugin for their XF codec and FCPX.
