For Avid Media Composer / NewsCutter Users
The following restrictions apply regarding the use of clips recorded with a Canon HD camcorder XF305 / XF300
with Media Composer or NewsCutter.
1 Clips that were recorded using the 50 Mbps (4:2:2), 1280x720, 24P video configuration cannot be used with Media
Composer 4.0.5 / 5.0.0 or NewsCutter 8.0.5 / 9.0.0. Upgrade to Media Composer 5.0.1 or NewsCutter 9.0.1 to use said
clips. (Correct as of July 2010.)
2 Clips recorded using the 25 Mbps (4:2:0), 1440x1080, 30P video configuration will be treated by Media Composer or
NewsCutter as 60i clips. To edit a video project as a 30p project, please use clips recorded using the 50 Mbps (4:2:2),
30P or 35 Mbps (4:2:2), 30P video configurations. (Correct as of July 2010.)
3 When linking MXF files using the Link to AMA File(s) menu option, a name other than Canon may appear in the
Video properties. Nevertheless, the clips will be correctly linked and you will be able to use the clips without any
problem. (Correct as of July 2010.)
