How to convert Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 MXF files for Pinnacle Studio?
Came upon troubles on your Mac while editing Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 MXF files in Final Cut Pro X after upgraded to High Sierra? Actually, there are a number of users having the same issues. To solve these incompatibility issues, you could convert Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 MXF video clips to Apple ProRes codec first before you start editing in FCP X.
"Hi guys, I've been struggling with one problem none has been able to fix so far. I'm editing some MXF files coming from a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 through FCP X. For some reason the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 .mxf files are imported without any audio. I have processed a lot of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX350 MXF videos in the past without any issues at all and I'm following exactly the same procedure - the only change is that I have updated my OS to High Sierra. This is really strange and I'm wondering if it's related to some update in FCP X and if anyone else has experienced a similar issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!"
