How can I import Canon MXF clips into Sony Movie Studio?
“Has anyone figured out how to make MXF files work with Sony Movie Studio? My older brother delivered me a bundle of MXF clips captured with a Canon HD camera (sorry, I’m not quite sure about the camera model). I’m planning on editing them in Sony Movie Studio but came upon issues while importing. Whenever I try to import those MXF videos onto Sony Movie Studio I only get a black screen with the correct length of film but no image or sound. Should I just go to buy different editing software that supports MXF files or is there another way to get over this ‘unrecognizable format’ issue and get the MXF footage into Sony Movie Studio? I have incredibly limited computer and less video knowledge, so I am grateful for any help.”
