Canon XF Plugin for Final Cut Pro
Instructions
This plugin was created to allow you to easily transfer the clips you recorded using the camcorder to Apple's Final
Cut Pro non-linear editing system. This plugin is compatible with Apple's Final Cut Pro, version 6.0.3 or later*.
* As of March 2010, Final Cut Pro does not support clips recorded with the following video configurations:

Transferring clips directly from the camcorder or from a CF card
You can transfer clips to Final Cut Pro directly from a CF card inserted into a card reader connected to your
computer. You can also connect the camcorder to the computer using a USB cable to import clips directly from the
camcorder.
For details about transferring file-based media to Final Cut Pro, refer to Final Cut Pro User Manual.
