Solved - Premiere Pro CC/CS6 Won't Import XC15 4K MXF Files

It’s a pity Premiere Pro isn’t compatible with Canon XC15 4K MXF files. This article will guide through how to rewrap XC15 4K MXF to Premiere step by step. 

An upgraded follow-up to the XC10, Canon XC15 is capable of capturing high-image quality and low-noise 4K UHD video, thanks to its high-sensitivity one-inch CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 5 image processing platform with high calculation-processing power. If you record some 4K videos, you may wanna work with the Canon XC15 4K in Adobe Premiere Pro (CC, CS6, etc) on macos Sierra. However, it seems a bit complicated as PPro won't ingest 4K MXF from XC15 as you expected. So, what's the solution?



At first, let's look at Canon XC15 video recording:

Recording file format: Material eXchange Format (MXF)

Recording format: Video Format: XF-AVC. Compression Format: MPEG-4 AVC/H.264

Literally, the latest version Premiere Pro CC, CS6 has the ability to handle 4K files without much problem, but it is extremely hardware intensive owing to the codec issue and resolution. Worse still, Canon XC15 uses the new XF-AVC movie recording codec, employs the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video compression format, and packages shootings in an MXF wrapper, which is not an ideal format for most editing software including Adobe Premiere Pro. Some guys recommend to install the latest updates, try some MXF plug-ins, but still didn't work well.

To solve the problem, you need to convert Canon XC15 4K to MOV for Premiere Pro as primary delivery format. With the help of Dimo Video Converter Ultimate for Mac, you can easily achieve the goal. Hot News! DimoSoft has launched a user-requested upgrade for full line of media converting products for Win/Mac to version 2.7.3.
