Importing Final Cut Xdcam EX clips into avid
hey guys so i had to ingest some footage for a client and it was shot on the ex-3. I did not know that they were editing on avid so i ingested them on my mac using the xdcam transfer utility and have them as quicktimes on my external. i erased the cards and delivered it to them. They then told me the clips do not work, they wont import to avid. Is there any way they can put the clips into avid? whats the best solution for me to get them in a format they can be read in? i only have final cut so can anyone recommend me their best solution to their problem.. thanks alot!

Export qicktimes they can use from FCP. If you don’t have the proper avid codec, the animation codec at best settings will work.

im exporting with the avid meridian compressed right now.. using the media manager to just recomposes each clip. seems like its going to take a while though. does that sound good to you?

everything but the compressed part.
Yeah, it’s gonna take a while.
