Activity Forums Apple Final Cut Pro Legacy XDCAM in FCP6

  • Posted by Laurie Gibbs on September 1, 2010 at 1:14 pm

    Hello,

    I am planning on shooting on a PMW-EX3 and editing in FCP 6.

    Has anyone had any experience editing XDCAM EX in FCP 6? Does the native codec work with this version of FCP or will I have to transcode the footage before I can begin editing?

    Thanks in advance,

    Laurie

    I’ve edited xdcam ex but of jvc 700. But if you can upgrade fcp to 7 it works fine.

    Thanks Sachin,

    Unfortunately, I haven’t got the budget to upgrade at the moment. Thanks for the response though.

    Just make sure that you are fully updated to 6.0.6…then you should be fine.

    EX footage is supported since FC 6.0.2.
    [Sachin Desai] “you can still edit it in fcp 6 only thing you want be able to do is take your timeline to color…”
    No really. You can send your Time-line to Color.
    What you can’t do is to import the files directly from your media HD.
    With FC 7 is possible ingest the files directly without sending from FC.
    Cheers,
