  FcpX Acv-I/Avc-L

  Posted by Matt Bragg on May 20, 2015 at 12:48 pm

  Hello!
  I shot some stuff on a job this week on the FS7, started in AVC I which imports no problem but after day two switched to AVC L, which isn’t going into final cut x. Well it imports but just shows a blank green screen. Please help!!!!
  Thanks

  Green means you either haven’t downloaded the codec plugin or it’s not a supported format.

  XAVC-L is not supported yet in FCPX. You can either use Edit Ready from Divergent Media or Sony Catalyst Browse to transcode to ProRes.

  Edit Ready is $50, Catalyst Browse is free. I’ve read good things about Edit Ready, but haven’t tried it. Catalyst Browse is said to introduce a gamma shift in batch encoding but I haven’t seen that in my limited trials.
  Edit Ready offers a free trial that limits encoding to the first minute of a clip.
  The Sony PXW-X70 records XAVC-L or AVCHD. There are quite a few X70 owners who edit in FCPX and are anxiously awaiting XAVC-L support.
