The Canon C300 camera has two CF cards slots and records in 50 Mbps 422 8-bit MPEG2 compression. Video can be recorded to either card, or both at the same time for redundant recording. Video resolutions and frame rates include 1920×1080 at 23.98p, 29.97p and 59.94i fps. Additionally, a true 24p mode is available for those doing film outputs. In 1280×720 mode, frame rates from 1-60p are also available for slow motion. However, when you tried to import Canon C300 footage to Avid Media Composer for further editing, you will find Avid MC does not work well with Canon C300 1080p/60i or 720/60p MXF videos. Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix this issue. Below, I outline how to ingest footage onto a hard drive, and how to import into Avid Media Composer.
