  XDCAM Clip Browser Won’t Open

  Posted by Joe Crump on May 10, 2008 at 5:05 am

  This seems like a basic problem, but I can’t get the clip browser that came with my EX-1 to open.

  It installed fine and confirmed that it installed. When I go to “applications” it’s there. When I double click on the app file, I get an error message saying.

  “You can not open the applications XDCAM EX Clip Browser.app because it is not supported on this architecture.”

  I’m running it on a G5 Quad Mac.

  Incidentally, I took the disk over to my PC and installed it and it works fine on the PC – but I’m using FCP and need to use it on my Mac.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Yep. The Sony Clip Browser only works with Intel Macs. Sorry. The Sony Transfer Tool, however, is a universal app that works on both Intel and PowerPC Macs. The Sony Transfer Tool is the app that FCP uses to transfer the XDCAM EX files, not the Clip Browser
