Sony Content Browser 2.1 latest Version Problem.

[Ian Cook]

Yes, I follow. Do the multiple files show up in the queue with only the first file successfully transferring, or does only one file show up in the queue? Here’s an example: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gj9ru8kl2gkaitf/Untitled.mov

[Daniel Goyette]

Only one file show up in the queue and if i retry this same file get copied again even if all files are selected.
I have also try XDCAM Browser 2.1 same result as Content Browser 2.1 only XDCAM Transfer 2.13 work.
Permissions Repair done twice,OS X 10.8.4 or 10.8.5 i am with Apple Dev under NDA that dont work too.
So it is not OS X but why XDCAM Browser or Content Browser cant work but XDCAM Transfer is working.
Do i forget to install something or something must be deleted …. now i don’t know where to look at all.

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

Daniel, Sony have been very stubborn in insisting on dropping the wonderfully simple Transfer. It did exactly that, easily and swiftly transferred files in a BPAV folder to the drives and edit system of your choice. By the way, I’m still using Transfer with the same OS as you, it does work with a few minor work arounds. Long may it last.

Ian, is there a simple Tutorial available from Sony that explains, in Peter and Jane language, how to just do what we did in Transfer but using your ContentBrowser (if we must).

For purposes of testing can you tell me if you are trying this only on archives created using XDCAM Browser or older Browser applications? The prefixes of your archives suggest XDCAM Browser (this is fine and should work; I’m just trying to reproduce your problem).

Please try creating a new archive as I suggested earlier and let me know if that works. If you could do this with a new clip that would be better.

1. Highlight a location (e.g. ‘Desktop’) in the top Explorer window and make a new folder there. call it TEST and make sure it is highlighted.

2. Go to the FILE menu and select IMPORT. Browse to an .mp4 on your SxS card or in your archive. The path will be [archive or media name]/BPAV/CLPR/[clip-named folder]/clip name.mp4. Import the file.

This will create a new BPAV with new clip/archive metadata in the TEST folder you created earlier. As soon as the process is done you can view this like any other archive in CB.

3. Select multiple files from the new archive–>Import Into FCP.

Please let me know..

Content Browser does the same thing and does so fairly easily; this is an oddball problem. A tutorial would only tell him to do something we know is currently not working for him. I know we all love Transfer but maintaining 5-6 different XDCAM applications was too much… Too many tools for users to have to deal with and too many applications to have to update and QA.

[Daniel Goyette]

I have done all the steps you ask for but still unable to rewrap in .MOV exept one a the time.
But i have done better i have Upload the resulting new BPAV inside the TEST Folder to Dropbox.
You can now download it and try-it on your side , also new Screenshots 01 to 06 to view also.
If you find something please let me know from Content Browser to OS X to Anything it must be.
Your help and time is very appreciate and i hope that may help somebody else in the future too.

Problem solved the link have bee remove by me on Sept. 12-2013.

No problem, check it when you can. I’ll continue to test with my own files. Screen shot of error is below.

Ian, you misunderstand my enquiry. It is I who would like to see a Tutorial since I had the greatest difficulty in actioning the simple task of viewing EX clips, then selecting sections of individual clips for import as ProRes into Media 100. With Transfer this is easy, the BPAV clips are converted to .mov and Media 100 imports as ProRes. I’m sure, as you say, this is possible in ContentBrowser, but it seems a darn sight more complicated.
