XDCAM Transfer Error
Hello,
When trying to import XDCAM EX footage to FCP with Sony’s XDCAM Transfer 2.1 I get the following error on about 90% of my clips:
“there is no timecode calculator in timecode track builder”It won’t import those clips, doesn’t even show a thumbnail or preview. When I have a look at the corresponding XML file, there is definetely something odd in the timecodes. When I change that back to what the camera reads, XDCAM Transfer does “something” for a second, but then quits unexpectedly.
All clips play fine on the camera itself. They also play just fine with Sony’s Clip Browser (but that doesn’t convert it).
Sounds familiar to anyone?
Another way to transfer the *.mp4 clips to something editable would also be fine for now! Anyone any ideas? I’m a bit stuck, or at least most of my files are…

Sounds like you may have FCP 2 and need to apply the update to FCP 2.02.

Don’t forget you have to apply the Universal Upgrades in order first (1 then 2) and then FCP 2.02
If that’s not it, I’m out of ideas.

I wish it was that simple. It has to do something with the camera writing wrong timecode to some files and XDCAM Transfer not able to deal with that.
Out here some guys have the same issues…
Another way to convert the files would also be nice to know. MPEG Streamclip won’t open them…

Yikes! Wish I had more ideas but I don’t. We haven’t seen this problem and hope we don’t.
Aloha,

My guess is, don’t fumble with your timecode settings. I’m not the only one:
