I am going to edit some XAVC-L MXF footage from Sony PXW-X400 in FCP X, but after I import those XAVC-L MXF files into FCP X, I found it took me much of time rendering, what’s more, some audio was missing, so I can’t smoothly edit in FCP X. At first, I think FCP X could import my XAVC-L files without any trouble, but things do not go well. I fell very disappointed. So what’s wrong with it. Is there a better solution for me to add my Sony PXW-X400 XAVC-L MXF videos into FCP X for editing? Any help is appreciated.
