One advantage of the Canon XF codec is that it’s already supported by the major NLE software applications.
But XF plug-in/XF utilities cannot work well with 1080i, 1080P videos. I searched internet and trie to get a solution. An article-Transcoding from Canon C300 MXF to Apple Pro Res with two channels of audio, I once collected may be helpful. Of course, only if you don’t mind that using a conversion tool.
