“A couple of days ago a client sent me some MXF files that he shot with a borrowed Canon XF200. I imported XF200 MXF files to iMovie 11, but if I click on it or try and put it on my timeline, it gives me a general error message and says ‘error: out of memory’. I spoke with an Apple Tech, he suggested that I convert Canon XF200 MXF to AIC or QuickTime video. I tried to convert the MXF file in MPEG-2 but it said, ‘Error: can’t prepare the movie’. Can anybody please tell me how to solve this problem?”
