But according to Avid users' say on the forum, EOS C300 seems not to be so perfect. Although having installed the AMA plug-in and 2.0 of the Canon XF plugin, you will still find it unable to play and import Canon C300 MXF footages to Avid Media Composer on Mac. You will only get the notice that "Only MXF files created by XDCAM hardware devices are currently supported".

You have to find a third party software help you bridge your C300 MXF footages with Avid Media Composer.

Besides, it can deinerlace the 1080i files if you choose 59.94i (NTSC) or 50i (PAL) as frame rate while shooting. The deinterlacing will make your footages more smooth in Avid Media Composer.
