Many video editors are lacking of native support to MXF clips, or are only just starting to add support for this file type. Therefore, MXF camcorders like Canon XF100 users often meet problems one or another while editing .mxf files. To solve the problems, this article will give a solution for editing MXF file in Sony Vegas.

In fact, Sony Vegas announces that it can work with MXF on its official site, but some users still have troubles when putting MXF files to Sony Vegas. Ok, now let's take Canon XF100 to have a test.

2. Sony Vegas is not able to import the .mxf video clip

3. Sony Vegas crashes after the file is imported.

4. It takes much time to render the MXF videos for Sony Vegas editing.
