This might help too. This is AFTER using ClipBrowser. It shows how to use XDCAM Transfer Tool.

Problem is that the files are now all over the place on my hard drive and I am trying to figure out if there is any way to work around this. This is the final file of a fairly large job( all the others are ok). The simple question I guess is this. If one is left with just an MP4 file how can I get it into FCP?

Appreciate your attention.

Kind of reminds me of the person who drives 10 years without seat belts and boasts of never getting into an accident until just now . . . Last words as they carry him off in the stretcher.

ClipBrowser 2.5 can create a new BPAV folder with an orphaned MP4. Use its File/import feature. The original metadata is lost though but you’ll have a clip you can rewrap to MOV to FCP.

I am properly humbled. Seatbelts from now on. Thanks a bunch. DD

The current version of XDCAM Transfer works directly with orphaned MP4 files too – try just dragging on a folder full of MP4 files and they all show up and you can import them just fine.
