    ClipWrap2 is not working to convert slo motion AVCHD files from Sony FS-5 to ProRes 422.

    How do I convert the files for FCPX?

    Clipwrap is fairly old. Have you tried its big brother, EditReady for the conversion?

    I import AVCHD file from my Z150 directly into FCPX and tell it to create optimized media. You might need to update to newer FCPX if your version is too old.

    Mike – thanks for the note – turns out we are 5 miles away.
    Wonder if we’ve met?…

    Probably! Small world… Where are you?

    Did you ever try importing directly into FCPX? Should work, if that’s where you’ll edit, saves a step or two.
