So I have been out of the loop for a while, and decided
to do some editing last night. I noticed that canon released
a new plug in for final cut pro x. I down loaded the plug in and installed.
I than inserted my card in to my usb card reader and it shows up on my desktop as expected.
I open final cut pro x but it doesn't see the card as highlighted?
Any suggestions? I am running the most recent version of final cut pro.

Never mind I figured it out.
Even though they are files on CF card from the camera and
the obvious would be to select "import files" the correct selection's "import from camera"

Richard,
I have Final Cut X and a Canon XF100. When I first installed FCX, I had to use an independent program to transfer the cards to a file that FCX would see and accept. I have not attempted to download the MXF files directly to FCX, since I have not edited anything on FCX for probably a year now.

Did I understand you to say that you can now injest the MXF files directly to FCX?
Thanks,
Larry

Yes, you can
