Hmmmm… I know there is better support for that format in FCP 7. FCP 6 might have an issue reading the metadata properly, as that camera and it’s AVCHD offshoot format came out years after FCP 6…it came out after FCP 7 was made. FCP 7.0.3 might be the only version that will read the metadata properly. I’ve worked with footage from that camera and had it bring in the timecode…but I’m using FCP 7.
You can add timecode after the fact by using the MODIFY option…but getting that to match exactly what the camera has will be tricky. You have to manually type in the number in the modify menu…
