Saving Clips to a Computer
The software used to save your clips on a computer depends on the movie format of the clips. Use Canon XF
Utility to save MXF clips or one of the Canon XF plugins* to import MXF clips into a non-linear editing (NLE)
software. Use Data Import Utility to save MP4 clips (A 117). When using either software to transfer clips to a
computer, make sure to use a compatible card reader.
* Plugins are available for NLE software by Avid and Apple.
