Question: "Hi, I filmed using Canon xf305 camera using 2 clip mics and want to edit in Final Cut Pro X. I’ve tried several programs but always loss some of the audio channels. Pls I need to edit both the original two channels in FCP X. How can I solve this?"
Answer: I also ran into this problem when editing my friend’s wedding video. From Apple official website I know that apple prores codec is best for FCP editing on Mac. So before importing Canon MXF clips to FCP 6/7/X, I tried to convert Canon MXF to Final Cut Pro X compatible format ProRes 422 .mov.
Did a lot search and tried some editing applications but not very satisfied for the transcode speed, quality or audio tracks saving. Recently found a program on mac named iMixMXF from Pavtube and it work well in converting Canon multi audio channels MXF to Final Cut Pro X till now. It is the best Mac multi-track MXF Converter and MXF Mixer.

Step 3. Click "Settings" to customize your video size, bitrate, frame rate and other specs; and check video channels that you want to convert.
Follow the bottom left icon to let the selected audio tracks "mix into one channel"; or that it will keep all the audio tracks apart.
For non-multi-track converting, it's also supported to add .srt/.ass soft subtitles as you like; click Edit and switch to "Subtitles" tab, and click Browse to locate your prepared subtitles.
