[size="4"]If you want to get an easy way to fix the issues of importing/editing Canon XF300, XF305 MXF footage in Pinnacle Studio smoothly, just get the best MXF to Pinnacle Converter here![/size]



The XF305 and XF300 camcorders are a landmark addition to Canon's professional High Definition camcorder range. The new Full HD 50Mbps MPEG-2 4:2:2 codec brings broadcast-quality HD video within reach of all professional filmmakers. The issue users encountered is that Canon XF300/XF305 MXF videos can not be accepted by Pinnacle well.

"Sooooo... MXF can not be directly supported by Pinnacle Studio? I wanna transfer Canon XF300 MXF videos to Pinnacle 17 for editing. However, I got nothing but some error messages. Any tips on this workflow?"

Although, it claims that Pinnacle Studio can support MXF files, there are so many limits you are facing like the System Requirements: Intel Core 2 Quad 2.66 gHz or higher required for MXF editing, 2GB system memory required for MXF and more. If you can't meet these requirements, you will get troubles when importing .mxf files to Pinnacle Studio for editing. To make Pinnacle Studio work with Canon XF300/XF305 MXF footage beautifully, the best solution is to transcode MXF to Pinnacle Studio favorable formats like AVI, WMV, etc with a powerful third party program.

What I used is Brorsoft Video Converter which is fully capable of dealing with MXF videos from Canon XF300/XF305, P2 card or Sony camcorder. Besides MXF, it also can handle other video formats including XAVC, H.265, MTS, MP4, MOV, MKV .etc. With it, you also can effortlessly encode/re-encode video footage for smoothly importing and editing in various non-linear editing systems (NLE), including Adobe Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas, Cyberlink PowerDirector, Avid Studio, Windows Movie Maker and more. Now, download the software online and follow the guide below to start conversion.

How to Change Canon XF300/XF305 MXF videos to Pinnacle Studio

Step 1: Add MXF files

After downloading, install and launch the Pinnacle Studio Converter; click "Add Video" and load your Canon XF300/XF305 MXF video files into it.



Step 2: Choose output format

Click "Format" bar to choose "HD Video" -> "AVI HD Video (*.avi)" as output, which seems to be the best one due to the great video quality but small size. Of course, MPG, WMV are also the proper formats for Pinnacle.



Tip: You are allowed to manually adjust video/audio parameters such as bitrate, sample rate, frame rate, codec, channels, etc after clicking on "Settings".

Step 3: Start conversion

Click the Convert button to start the Canon XF300/XF305 MXF to AVI conversion. Open Pinnacle Studio on your PC and click on the Capture tab. Choose File > Import to import the converted MXF files to Pinnacle studio for native editing.

Pavtube Video Converter Review and Download

Pavtube Video Converter is an all-in-one video converter and editor tool based on NVIDIA CUDA technology which is specially developed for users to convert videos from one format to another.



Pavtube Video Converter ( Mac Version )has been designed to cover all your video conversion needs while providing you with a few interesting editing features. It supports nearly all known video formats and codecs for both standard and high-definition video, including MKV, AVI, MP4, M4V, VOB, MOV, WMV, Tivo, FLV, MPG, WebM, MVI, VRO, MTS, M2TS, M2T, TS, MXF, XAVC, along with audio extensions like MP3 and FLAC, etc. Batch processing is permitted.

In order to manage such a vast list of video, audio, and image file formats, the program offers you a somehow organized list of output profiles.

These are classified following different criteria, such as device manufacturer (Apple, Samsung, Google, Sony, HTC, Amazon, Asus, Microsoft, Acer, Nokia, LG, Panasonic, Toshiba, HuaWei, BlackBerry, Lenovo or HP, etc.), software tool (Windows or PowerPoint), media type (Common Video or Common Audio – for audio extraction purposes), or device (Zune, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii, Windows Media Player, VLC, AC Ryan Player, HiMedia 900B, PS4, PS3, WD TV Live Plus Media Player, Xtreamer Ultra, Dune HD Player, Seagate, Popcorn Hour, Asus O!Play Mini Plus, KDLINKS Media Player, ViewSonic NMP-708 and so on), although you can also find some more "exotic" categories, such as Remux, Interlaced, Lossless raw video, or DV. Useful as it may be, it doesn't seem to follow any logical order. To overcome this difficulty, the program offers you a Profile Manager, which you can use to select only those categories you really use. Likewise, you can also tick off those specific presets within each category that you know you won't be using often.

Once the output selection process has been conveniently simplified according to your preferences, you can select the video or video files you wish to convert and apply to all of them one of the many output formats provided (regrettably, multiple-output conversion is not supported). You can then select one of your videos and watch them on the program's built-in player, or simply move into the program's editor.

This simple editing tool offers you the possibility of trimming and cropping your videos, of adding text and image/video watermarks to them, editing their background audio, importing a subtitle stream from an SRT or SSA subtitle file, or applying one of the various video effects provided – gauss blur, Laplacian sharpen, aged film (a kind of sepia effect), negative, etc.



In addition, you can preview clips and take snapshots, apply effects, make image adjustments (e.g. brightness, contrast), replace the audio steam, and more.

But you can also make audio and video modifications when it comes to the codec, size, bit rate, frame rate, sample frequency rate, channels and others. Settings can be restored to their default values.

The conversion process itself is fairly fast (thanks to the program's multi-thread support) and doesn't take up much of your system's resources. An attractive and affordable option for those looking for fast and stress-free video conversion processes.
