About iMovie:
iMovie is a video editing software application developed by Apple Inc. for macOS, iOS, and iPadOS devices. As a free video editing software, iMovie is popular with users. After a little time learning the app, you can really get a sense for just how many assets it has. You can add music from your own collection, titles, themes, more. It’s a PCMag Editors’ Choice for entry-level video editing. iMovie supports multiple video formats and allows you to create projects that are tailored to your specific video format. Before you upgrade to macOS Catalina, you can use iMovie to detect and convert all incompatible media files so they’ll be compatible with future versions of macOS. After you upgrade to macOS Catalina, the option to convert the incompatible files will no longer be available. In the future, we will not be as free as before in the process of editing videos. Video compatibility is the biggest obstacle we are going to face.

MXF to iMovie Workflow
MXF (Material eXchange Format) is a container format for professional digital video and audio media defined by a set of SMPTE standards. The video format is created specifically for HD digital camcorders. There are an increasing number of professional video editing tools that can work with MXF files natively including Final Cut Pro and Premiere Pro. But some people find it is not convenient for them to import MXF footages to iMovie for editing. Apple iMovie does not support an MXF wrapper.

It quite easy, the best way to let Apple iMovie work with MXF files is convert these files to iMovie compatible formats like MOV, MP4 previously.
