How to Solve Corel VideoStudio Pro X8/X7/X6 won’t import MXF files Problem

If you want to import Sony XAVC/XAVC S MXF, Canon XF-AVC MXF, Panasonic P2 MXF, or Avid MXF files to Corel VideoStudio Pro, just convert MXF to MPG so that you can edit all kinds of MXF files on Corel VideoStudio Pro X8/X7/X6 smoothly.

Corel VideoStudio Supported file formats
The supported file formats are listed below.

Supported Import Video Formats:
AVCHD, DV, HDV, AVI, MPEG-1/-2/-4, DVR-MS, DivX*,
SWF*, UIS, UISX, M2T, M2TS, TOD, MOD, M4V, WebM, 3GP,
WMV, Non-encrypted DVD titles, MOV, MKV, HEVC

MXF is notlisted as above. MXF is a “container” format used by professional camcorders and only a few high end software programs. None of the “user entry” video programs can handle MXF format. Corel video studio is not an exception for it cannot open raw MXF files. What you need to do is to transcode MXF to MPEG-2/WMV for using in Corel VideoStudio Pro natively.

For converting MXF video into editing friendly format for Corel VideoStudio Pro X9.5/X9/X8/X7/X6, the best recommendation is Brorsoft MXF Converter .

Pros
This program is so sweet. It did what I wanted. I shot some footages in my friend’s wedding by using my new C300 Mark II. I planed to make a short movie as his wedding present with these footages. Unfortunately, my Corel VideoStudio X9.5 does not support MXF. I tried other editing softwares like Sony Vagas, GrassValley, doesn’t work either. And then I got this program on Google seraching, it works well! I converted my mxf files to MPG format supported by my Corel VideoStudio. Now everything goes well. Many thanks for this great mxf converter.

Cons

Every software works great! I am so happy that I purchased Brorsoft software!!!
