MXF Clips
The video (stream) file in a clip will be split approximately every 2 GB for clips with a long recording time (approximately every 1 GB during slow motion recording). Even in such case, playback will be continuous.
Please use Canon XF Utility to join separated MXF clips.
IMPORTANT
Separated MXF files cannot be joined even if they are copied to a computer.
MP4 Clips
For scenes with a long recording time, the video (stream) file in a clip will be split in the following cases.
Even in such case, playback will be continuous.
- When the file size reaches approximately 4 GB.
- After recording a single clip continuously for approximately 29 minutes 50 seconds (frame rate set to 59.94P) or for approximately 59 minutes 50 seconds (other frame rates).
Using the supplied software Data Import Utility, you can save MP4 clips to a computer. Data Import Utility will also automatically join multiple MP4 clips of a single scene that were split every 4 GB because of file size limits and save them as a single video file.
