What kind of files are you trying to rewrap? You can only rewrap XDCAM, XDCAM EX and XAVC files. Is the FCP preference tab set to “X”? Also you do not need the Advanced Pack for rewrapping to .mov.This is a basic feature of the application and doesn’t require an option.

As an alternative you can also use PDZK-LT2 for XDCAM import directly within FCPX, although CB should do this just fine. Please supply some details on what is happening and what kind of files you are attempting to work with.

[Daniel Goyette]

XDCAM EX files only , 1920X1080i 60i , 1920X1080 30P , 1440 X1080i 60i , 720P 60P nothing special.
I have try to rewrap old BPAV of two year ago who i know they work but still not working here.
The frustration is the obsolete XDCAM Transfer work with them so i dont know where to look.

Should i uninstall and reinstall normally i jus update without Content without uninstall first.

ok, so, just to confirm– the BPAVs load up, you can see thumbnails and play clips, but the import option is greyed out?

can you check that the FCP preference is set to X and that you have a valid destination folder set? both of these are in the FCP tab of the preferences.

[Daniel Goyette]

Yes you got-it , the BPAV load fine and every clips play perfectly but i cant import and get .MOV for FCP X ,
In preferences FCP X is selected and a valid destination folder exist.

The BPAV are perfect since if i select the same BPAV and import using XDCAM Transfer 2.13 with the same destination folder the clips inside the BPAV get rewrap in .MOV.

Is the EXPORT–>MXF for NLE option available?

Can you try reinstalling Browser? It sound like it’s not seeing your FCP installation. (Make sure FCPX resides in the root of the Applications directory…)

[Daniel Goyette]

Export option to NLE is there but Grey Out , FCP X is installed at the root and never have been moved.
Could it be a permissions problems , Ignore Ownership is not selected on any Media Drives.
This is a brand new Mac Pro built in June 2013 with all done as clean install,no migration.

Edited and corrected post on Sept 12-2013 : i forget to select one clip first …. sorry Ian Cook.

Last night i have remove and reinstall FCP X 10.0.9 no positive results,Content Browser 2.1 will import one only 1 clip even if they are all selected i don’t know where to look to solve this puzzle.

I can’t tell why this is happening and why XDCAM Transfer will work without any problem,so i hope you can point me to a solution XDCAM Transfert is obsolete and no more supported in OS X 10.8.

Edited and corrected post on Sept 12-2013 : I have found select all clips and Control Click needed.

So you can export now but only one clip at a time? That is different from the situation before, correct? The MXF for NLE option should be available for any EX .mp4 clip. Can you try creating a new BPAV on your desktop? File–>Import a loose .mp4, this will create a BPAV in whatever folder location you have highlighted in the Explorer window. The new BPAV will have new clip metadata. Then try import/export, also using a local folder as the destination.

It may also be a good time to do a permissions repair in Disk Utility..

[Daniel Goyette]

No change at all so let me try to be a little more clear.

If i select all clips inside a XDCAM EX Folder ( BPAV ) from Content Browser Explorer Window and click Import for FCP only one clip get rewrap in .MOV.

If i select all clips inside a XDCAM EX Folder ( BPAV ) from Content Browser Explorer Window and Select Export to MXF for NLE all clips get rewrap in MXF.

In simple terms Content Browser do the job for MXF but only rewrap the first clip if i ask to rewrap to .MOV by asking import for FCP,do you understand my problem.

Thank-you.
