Great FCS3 Formats Resource from Apple!
This is a great link and I’m sure will be referenced to for quite sometime.

It already looks as if it needs updating. There are HDV cameras that record to disk or memory cards. I can’t find anything on it in the section on HDV.
All the best,

Russ,
thankyou for highlighting this. This is a very nice doc provided by Apple, even if degree of completness is varying depending on topic.
Prores and Redcode seem quite detailed, whilst IMX/MXF (the format I use currently most) for example is indeed basic.“Importing MXF-Wrapped IMX Media Files into Your Project
Once you have MXF files on your hard disk, you need to extract the IMX MPEG-2 media data and store it within QuickTime media files. This process requires a third-party plug-in that extends the ability of Final Cut Pro to import MXF-encoded media. Once your IMX media has been converted from MXF to QuickTime media files, you can import the QuickTime media files into Final Cut Pro”They don’t even mention the name of third party pluging that is required to handle MXF in FCS or third party solutions/methods to manage re-wrapping externally to FCS, so requiring the reader to retrieve this info elsewhere. It is not publicity here, it essential infos in my opinion.
Best,
Ale.“Editing is 80% diplomacy and 20% actual skill”
