In this article, you will learn how to edit Canon XF300 MXF footage in Premiere Pro CC/CS6/CS5 without any problem. Please read on.
If you are using a Canon XF300 camera with Premiere Pro 6.0 or its earlier versions of CS4, CS5, CS5.5, or even Premiere Elements, you may see the error "ERROR COMPILING MOVIE: UNKNOWN" coming up when exporting a movie composed of MXF clips, whether it's to AVI, H.264, etc., this error comes up, in particular when the movie is "long", i.e. a half minute to a minute. Otherwise, with short clips there is no problem. It's enough to make you want to pull your hair out. The Internet is full of discussions on this issue, but we don't know why Adobe can't fix it? The bottom line, however, is that once you transcode your Canon XF300 MXF files to H.264 using Acrok MXF Converter, there are absolutely no problems regardless of file length…
