  • Problem with xdcam transfer

    Hey y´all!

    I´ve got a problem on a Mac Os X with Final Cut Pro 6.0.5.

    I´ve installed the XDCAM transfer plugin to import my XDCAM files, but the option file>import>xdcam transfer doesn´t show up, so I cannot transfer anything, even though I perform a succesfull installation,

    What´s wrong with it!!

    Thanks a lot,
    JL

    Silly question perhaps, but you have relaunched FCP since the install right? FCP needs to load these components when it starts up that app … if you installed but didn’t restart then the app won’t have loaded the components.

    Assuming thats not the issue, check your /Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins folder … do you see two specific components installed there, being SonyImportPlugin.bundle and SonyExportPlugin.bundle?

    I relaunched FC, and it didn´t work.

    Also, I cheked out in the folders, but the plugins don´t appear enywhere.

    I tried to instal it again, but then, same result. It´s weird because I downloaded the plugin from the Sony website.

    Is it possible you downloaded Sony’s Log and Transfer plugin (PDZK-LT1) and not Sony’s XDCAM Transfer app and support files (PDZK-P1)? The former extends FCP’s built in Log and Transfer interface so that it can be used to and rewrap clips from the XDCAM EX line of camera’s, the latter is a standalone app and support files that provides an interface to import clips from any XDCAM camera (including the EX line) either with or without FCP, and adds those FCP File > Import and File > Export components that were mentioned before.
    Might be worth double checking as it would be an easy mistake to make. If you’ve not got the XDCAM Transfer app then head back to the Sony site and grab XDCAM Transfer 2.9 … you can get it here:
