Impossible to view Canon EOS 80D MXF files in iMovie

Unable to load Canon EOS 80D MXF files into iMovie on macOS High Sierra? High Sierra does not have support for MXF files yet.

Keep reading and learn a step-by-step guide on how to process Canon EOS 80D MXF media to AIC .mov conversion for Apple iMovie for Mac.


"Why iMovie refused loading MXF files from my Canon EOS 80D on High Sierra that it should open? I hope it is a bug, because now I have an awful lot of projects based on Canon EOS 80D MXF files which are unusable (black screen, no sound) and I have no intention of purchasing Final Cut Pro X just to make simple edits. Any ideas?"
