MXF to ProRes- Convert MXF to ProRes 422 or 4444 for FCP

ProRes is not a video format used for practical or end-user viewing, it is just a line of intermediate codec, and we can classify it as a lossy video compression format. The ProRes is developed by Apple fo Final Cut Pro and it is intended for use during video editing. MXF is a self-container format which is unacceptable to many editing software, like FCP, Sony Vegas, Avid DNxHD, etc. So if you wanna import MXF files to Final Cut Pro for further editing, convert MXF to ProRes is  a perfect solution.

MXF to ProRes program here is capable of converting MXF footages to ProRes 422 and ProRes to 4444 and it can keep the MXF to ProRes conversion clean and retain the HD quality without producing some corrupted files on Mac OS X.
