    For those that presently have XDCAM and Final Cut, are you using the XDCAM codec to edit, or do you transcode into some other HD codec?

    I’ve finished one project cutting native XDCAM HD in FCP. Works great.

    New website, new work online:

    finished several projects in XDCAM HD – FCP 5.1.2, works great.

    To elaborate somewhat on the other answers (I agree that it works great) — there is no transcoding to another codec – FCP 5.1.2 can edit the Long-GOP MPEG2 natively – only when effects are rendered does it go into another I-frame only codec.
