When you import Canon EOS C300 Mark II 4K MXF to Final Cut Pro X and Premiere Pro CC for editing, you'll be disappointed since FCP X and Premiere doesn't natively support the new Canon XF-AVC codec. As far as I know, any videos you try to import to Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro need to be encoded with Apple ProRes/H.264 and wrapped up in MOV file container. Thus, to load Canon C300 Mark II MXF video files to FCP X and Premiere, there is a need to convert Canon EOS C300 Mark II footage to their compatible formats first.
As far as I know Final Cut Pro doesn't like H.264 in an MXF container. If you want to import Canon EOS C300 Mark II recordings to FCP X flawlessly, I recommend you to convert Canon 4K/2K/1080p MXF to a more editable format for Final Cut Pro X. For Adobe Premiere Pro CC/CS users, convert EOS C300 Mark II MXF to H.264 MOV is your needs. Actually, there are many MXF Converter on market, but a few of them can support converting videos with fast conversion speed and zero quality loss. After multiple testing, I found UFUSoft MXF Converter for Mac is the best choice.
Overall, the program is a powerful MXF conversion app for all the editing software. With it, you can easily transcode Canon EOS C300 Mark II MXF files for FCP X, Premiere Pro, Sony Vegas Pro, Avid, iMovie, FCE, Apertuer, etc., with high quality and fast encoding speed. It has an equivalent Windows version entitled UFUSoft MXF Converter, which can convert MXF to FCP X/Premiere Pro on Windows 10/8.1/7/XP.
