I am new to FCPX and compressor, can I transcode from .mxf (EX3) to prores in Compressor or should that be done best in FCPX?

I would like to do it the best way, perhaps that means fastest, or least prone to troublesomeness. Cheers

Hmm…not sure.

Either way, you need to make them into Quick Time files and use the Sony transfer software for that.

FCPX is pretty fast and if your profile is accurate, it should be speedy on that version MBP. Why not do a test and report back?
