Canon’s XF-AVC does not work with DaVinci Resolve. To be able to import Canon XF605 MXF to DaVinci Resolve 17, 16, 15 for editing, you’ll need to convert MXF to H.264, DNxHD or ProRes codec using a professional 4K Video Converter software.
Canon has announced the Canon XF605, which the company has managed to keep very close to its vest. The new XF-series professional camcorder comes equipped with a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor and the ability to record 4K/60p/4:2:2/10-bit/HDR video to dual onboard SD card slots. Featuring a Canon L-Series lens with 15x zoom, 3-ring operation, a 1.0-inch CMOS sensor, and a DIGIC DV7 image processor, the XF605 allows for the capture of in-camera HDR video. If you plan to get a 4K cancorder in 2021, XF605 is a good idea. Unfortunately, as a new device, it has no discount recently.
On the video front, the Canon XF605 now supports the MXF and MP4 formats, which can record 4K/60p video at 60Mbps. All that and more make Canon XF605 a versatile tool content creation. If you shot with XF-AVC format, you will find that Canon’s MXF/XF-AVC does not work with DaVinci Resolve. Blackmagic Design claims that DaVinci Resolve supports most commonly-used video codecs, including the MXF (XF-AVC). However, problems like “DaVinci Resolve won’t Open MXF files” come up from time to time. In such a case, you can convert Canon XF605 MXF to H.264, DNxHD or ProRes, the best friendly codecs for Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve. Considering ease of use, reliability and final output quality, we would recommend Acrok Video Converter Ultimate (MXF to DaVinci Resolve Covnerter) to do format transcoding.
More than converting Canon XF605 MXF format to DaVinci Resolve, this MXF Video Converter software is also able to encode H.265/HEVC, MP4, MOV, MTS, TOD, MOD and RAW footage to other intermediate formats for using in Premiere Pro, Vegas Pro, Final Cut Pro, iMvoie, Avid Media Composer, After Effects CC and more.
