importing EX1 SxS Clips as one whole clip
First thank You all for the multiple questions answered so far – I am a thankful student!
Is it possible to import as one clip the EX1 MP4 clips? If I shoot a 1 hour class it breaks it into 4-5 clips on card. If I use the XDCam Clip browser it makes one whole long MXF file, which I prefer. Did not know if I could avoid using clip browser and bring into PrePro direct as 1 clip?

Try using the media browser in Premiere.

Tero – I tried as you suggested it imports fine, but, keeps them in separate clips still? I watched a lesson online that implied there is a way to bring them in as the one sequential clip and it seemed to do it automatically? maybe that is CS6 I have CS 5.5?

To expand on Tero’s suggestion – do not use the Sony utility at all. Copy the entire contents (folder structure) of the SxS card direct to your hard drive, and then use the Media Browser for Import into Premiere and that ought to “join” the clips. Have not personally tried XDCAM footage, but this is how it worked for 2.5 hour AVCHD recordings, came in as one clip on the timeline using Media Browser. If your footage was run through the Sony utility first, perhaps that messed with the process in Adobe?
Thanks

Thank You Jeff, but it still keeps all clips separate maybe it is a CS6 function? or maybe just not with ex1 files.

[Jeff Pulera] “Copy the entire contents (folder structure)”
I have a feeling that there is no folder structure. Only the clips that don’t know how to span without the metadata.

Yes even with the whole folder on the hard drive it seems to only recognize the clips, it was for the purpose of effects and color correcting that I wanted to be able to treat the clip all at one time evenly. Thanks for input
