Because it IS NOT an editing codec. It might work some times, it won't work most of the time. VERY problematic codec. Not designed for editing....but rather for acquisition and delivery. You MUST convert to an editing codec, like ProRes.
I have a tutorial on how to deal with tapeless media in FCP...including Canon DSLR.
