  Hi,

  We work with xdcam and had a similar problem but not nearly as severe, it was very opaque lines and many of them, like a bad tv reception (I will post a shot when I’m at work tomorrow). It was only on one shoot and I sent the mem cards out again with no problems. Maybe ours was a shutter speed \ lighting problem as it was in an exhibition centre. Yours looks more to do with the hardware, did you try re-capturing? Did you use xdcam transfer?

  I actually am new to xdcam and final cut pro, i tend to use regular cameras and after effects, but since i have to make a dvd for my sister, and this was shot and edited by others, so i reconed ill do the same for her, so iasked for the footage from her editors and they gave it to me, and this just doesnt work… I have never used xdcam transfer and therefor dont know how to deal with that… does that help in any way?

  Hi,

  It looks like you installed our DEMO version of Calibrated{Q} XD Decode for OSX – this is not needed or meant for computers with Final Cut Pro (the gray grid pattern is the DEMO watermark).

  To uninstall:

  1. Delete the Calibrated folder from the Applications directory

  2. Delete the CalibratedXDCodec.component from the /Library/QuickTime directory(that’s the Library directory on the Main Harddrive NOT the Library directory in the User directory)

  3. Restart

  and that’s it. Thumbnails in FCP may still have the gray grid watermark (since FCP cahces though ) to fix you just have to disable then re-enable thumbnails and FCP should re-generate them.

  Cheers,
  Greg

  It’s Greg’s product. Of course he recognizes the watermark.
  Nice to have company reps on the scene, Greg, and thanks for watching out for weird references to your stuff. I’d have never guessed.
