    what version of FCP are you using? IMX support in FCP was introduced in version 5

    it should work.. make a copy of the file and change the extention to (.mov). this might work and it might eat your file..

    How did you acquire the footage? IMX tape through E-VTR, XDCam? What software are you using to decode the MXF? Sony, Flip 4 Mac?

    I was given the footage. I used compressor to convert to ProRes.
    what are my options?
    thanks

    if you can play the file in QT then you should be able to Export from QT directly..

    i’d hope

    I would agree, Export it from QT to another format DV50, ProRes, IMX 50,UC, ect. and see if that works.

    If it’s possible to have the people that gave you the footage to re-dig, I’d ask for that. We have Mpeg IMX decks here. I do all my stuff at 10 bit uncompressed (Graphics and other footage are in 10 bit). The back of our Mpeg IMX deck has SDI outs and ins, so though the footage is stored on tape with this format, it can behave like a D-Beta deck.

    Good luck,
    Bear

    Hope all is well,
