Mac Solution for Converting/Editing AG-HVX200 (P2) MXF to AIC for FCE/FCE 4
Panasonic AG-HVX200 (P2) shoots recordings in MXF files. As you see, MXF is a file format which each track of video and audio are stored in separate files. This complicates the housekeeping of the files since steps must be taken to ensure related tracks are kept together when files are moved or copied. The P2 uses a 6-character identifier in the filename of all related files.
P2 card: A solid-state memory card for recording DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, and AVC-Intra media within MXF container files.
Most of us would choose Panasonic AG-HVX200 (P2) MXF as the recording mode, as it provides high quality videos. However, it is not easy to edit movies in this format on Mac, as it requires high configuration to handle P2 DVCPRO MXF videos. While looking for the best way to edit Panasonic AG-HVX200 P2 DVCPRO MXF videos in FCE/FCE 4 on Mac OS X, I find the Mac P2 MXF Video Converter for FCP from PavTube Studio help making the editing easy and smooth.
