    OK.  Try skipping that.  Put the disk into a Blu-ray drive and just use Windows Explorer to copy everything over.
    We have the same camera and disc drive. You can't put the discs into a standard bluray drive as they have are in a cartridge. The disc reader he's using is the appropriate way to import that media.
    I'm not sure what's going on for you but I'm unable to replicate your problem. Put XDCAM disc into drive, copy entire contents to a folder, then in media browser right click on that folder (not the subfolders) and click import. I get a bin named whatever the folder was called, with all my clips inside. I'm on CS6.0.2 on a mac.

    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Importing Sony PMW EX1 footage into FCPX

    I just got a Sony PMW-EX1 (not the 1r).  I'm not very familiar with this format and I'm having trouble getting my footage into FCPX.  I imported a clip the way I thought it should be done and it simply showed up as a green clip. 
    Would someone familiar with this camera and FCPX help me get my footage ingested for use in FCPX. 
    General information:
    Camera connected via usb and card can be seen in the browser. 
    I searched through the card until I found a file named pir80684_01.MP4
    When I imported the file the clip is completely green.  When I try to open the file in Quicktime I get this error. 
    The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -12909.)
    FCPX said to access the camera via camera import, and then create a camera archive.  This was not possible for me as the camera did not show up in the camera import section.

    This came from Twezk Digital:
    "There is no “native” XDCAM EX support (unlike native DSLR support) in the new FCPX — you still have to use Sony software to “wrap” your XDCAM files into a Quicktime file and then import your clips from there. And the new XDCAM Browser won’t do the trick, nor will the Clip Browser, no, you have to use something you may not have used before: XDCAM Transfer. If you think of XDCAM Transfer as your new Log & Transfer window, I guess it is about the same, it just feels wrong to have an “evolutionary” new video editor and need to switch out to an older third-party application for a codec that has been around for so long now."

  • Cannot import Sony XDCAM HD 35mbps clips

    Download the Sony XDCAM software for FCP HD. Can download only clips up to 25mbps but not their HD quality 35mbps.
    What seems to be the problem - a No Codec text is displayed on the images.

    Sony haven't publically released the new version of the XDCAM Transfer tool yet.
    v1.0 is the current release, v1.1 is the one that enables 35mbps.

  • Importing Sony XDCAM EX3 clips no audio? PPRO CS3

    Hi,
    I have been trying to import some XDCAM EX3 footage to CS3 3.2.
    I have imported  2 of the BPAV folders and they are fine.
    The other 3 BPAV- when I import the video is fine but no audio? I'm a bit worried? Where is the audio?
    many thanks for any help.
    scott

    Hello,
    I tried going in to the BPAV folder- opening the CLPR folder then trying to view one of the mpeg 4 quicktimes.
    I get an error message - Error 2010- the movie contains some invalid data.
    BUT these are on the files that imported fine into ppro cs3.
    I don't know if the audio files are AC3.
    I went to the clips in the timeline that worked and hit properties and it said they were LCPM16?
    BUT again, some of the BPAV folders were fine.
    This is my first time trying to import these files.
    I thought it would work straight away!!

  • How to import Sony EX1 files into FCS (that are already on HD in folders)

    let me try an explain, I have bought some footage, and the person that sold me the footage gave me the raw files. I was shot using a SONY EX1. I have one too, as well as a EX3. My difficulty is that I'm not able to import the files into FCS... when I import my own footage I read it from the SXS using XDCAM Transfer, but as the footage he sold me is already on my HD and in the raw form (in folders divided into files)...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    I have been away on a shoot, but finally back, and still have not resolved the problem...I have try to do what you say, but XDCAM Transfer does not recognize the folders... it is strange...any other idea???

  • How to import Sony Z1 and A1 tape based files to FCP X?

    Apple support have today told me (eventually) that footage from the Sony HVR Z1 and A1 and the GoPro Hero 2 cameras are not suppported by FCP X, they suggest using a 3rd party convertor, this will add considerably to the time bringing data into the package.
    How do others get over this issue as I am assuming that others are using Sony HVR & GoPro cameras as they are market leaders.

    Who exactly at Apple support told you this? Z1 and A1 are HDV cameras and are covered by this note
    Final Cut Pro X is compatible with most MiniDV tape-based camcorders using DV and HDV formats, which use a FireWire (also known as IEEE 1394 or i.LINK) cable to transfer video.
    The GoPro media can be imported an optimized on import. The audio from the cameras is not suitable for FCP, but most people don't use audio from these cameras. If you need audio and video you can batch convert with Compressor or MPEG Streamclip.

  • Premiere CC v7.2 "generic import error" Sony xdcam 422 50mb / PDW F800

    I'm receiving a "generic import error" when attempting to import Sony XDCAM footage in to Premiere Pro CC v7.2.0 (PC). The footage is in the original file structure transferred from a Sony XDCAM disc. The format is 1920x1080p, 29.97, 50mbps mpeg-2 long GOP (CBR). Shot with a Sony PDW F800 camera. It opens and plays fine with the Sony XDCAM viewer. I've tried importing the entire folder structure from PP media browser with no success. Not getting any thumbnails or previews from the files. PP will import the proxy files (mxf/mp4) but not the mpeg-2 HD media. Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Wil, got this figured out quite painlessly considering the train wreck that it was to begin with. The material consisted of 4 mxf discs all with sequentially numbered duplicate filenames from disc to disc… cameramen love to torture editors. Simply renaming the clips using the OS would not work so here’s what I did. Starting with Bridge I identified the HD material apart from the 8 audio files and 1 proxy file per clip by performing a file search using the letter (V), only the HD video material has a (V) in the filename. Next I copied only the video files to a work folder as to not alter the original disc structure, I did this for each mxf disc. Next critical step was to turn off all metadata logging in Bridge except the filename metadata, then I used the batch renaming function with 3 criteria: 1-seed each filename with the disc number, 2- retain original clip name, and 3-rename extension to mpg. I did this for each disc. Next step was to batch encode using AME. I processed each disc using the same codec as the original source material, MXF/OP1a, Sony XDCAM 50mb with smart rendering codec enabled. My system ripped through this process at amazing speed, it retained the original source clip time code and the quality appears to be unaltered from the original. The reason for turning off the metadata logging in Bridge was to strip off the mxf reference, AME would not process the files by simply renaming them using the OS. Total time to clean-up train wreck; 40 minutes.
    BTW: I did not need the associated audio from these clips otherwise there would have been an extra step involved using premiere’s nesting feature as you had mentioned.
    Happy Holidays.

  • Best Import Settings for Sony XDCAM EX

    Ok, this is a variation on my best export settings question. Considering the Sony XDCAM EX1 shoots 8 bit video with 4:2:0 color space, what's the best import settings to use? Which DNX codec will give you the best results? I don't want to import at a quality higher than my source material. And of course, I don't want to import at a quality lower than my source material. I'm looking for the sweet spot.
    Thanks
    Chris

  • How to transfer an XDcam EX project.

    I am currently attempting to open up a XDcam EX project after copying all the files to another HDD.  I've gotten as far as importing the files into XD cam EX clip browser ver 2.6, however the the only options for export are as follows; MXF for nle's, MXF for XDcam HD, MXF for XDcam HD422, Mpeg IMX and MXF for XDcam DVCAM, Raw DV, AVI DV, and some other flavors.  Mind you my intention is to reconnect the media and work on the project remotely.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Many Thanks

    Okay, I've downloaded XDCAM Browser 1.2 and used the command "Register for Final Cut Pro" under the file pull down menu, or "command I".  You first however have to open Final Cut, and in the Final Cut Pro [File] menu, select [Import] - [Sony XDCAM Browser].  Then select and register the clip list containing the clips or subclips to be imported by the XDCAM browser in the XDCAM browser software.  Once executed the selected files will automatically be imported into your browser window in FCP.  If you'll notice in the source column, it'll show you the destination of the newly transcoded file, that's the re-connect destination.  I could have taken these files when copying to the new HDD, however I mistakenly grabbed the original camera files instead.
    Live and learn.

  • Sony XDCAM PDW 1500

    Hi
    How do I connect my macbook pro laptop, fully updated to the XDCAM PDW 1500 vtr that has dvcam footage shot in PAL SD 25 fps. I have tried all the settings!
    Is there any plugins or software I should download?
    Thanks

    you have a few choices:
    a) connect the deck via firewire and set the deck's iLINK setting to AV/C mode and set the remote interface to iLINK .. then log and capture from the deck as if it were a DV tape based device
    b) you need to download and install Sony's free XDCAM Transfer app to log and transfer the source clips at faster than real time ... again, connect the deck via firewire, but for this method set the deck's iLINK setting to FAM mode. now launch the app from FCP using File > Import > Sony XDCAM...
    https://serviceplus.us.sony.biz/sony-software.aspx?model=pdzkp1
    c) you can buy and use Flip4Mac's XDCAM component which allows tapeless capture via Ethernet ... connect the deck to your Mac's network and and launch the app from FCP using File > Import > Sony XDCAM (Ethernet) ...
    http://www.flip4mac.com/pro_xdcam.htm
    my recommendation would be option b) as this is easily the fastest and most versatile method
