Sony Content Browser 2.1 latest Version Problem.

[Ian Cook]

gotcha… i’m happy to walk you through anything you need to do but bear in mind (I know this has come up before) that Browser does not convert to ProRes, it just rewraps the file to a QuickTime in the original XDCAM codec. Maybe your Media 100 is converting to ProRes on import?

for what it’s worth all you need to do is highlight the clips you want, right/control-click and select Import Into Final Cut Pro. the converted .movs will go to the folder you set up as the destination in the preferences. done.

Ian, I’m afraid that we’re still talking at cross purposes. I know that Transfer is only converting to QT .mov, Media 100 is indeed doing the importing and conversion to my chosen codec, ProRes. When you say that with Browser, all I need to do is click on selected clips prior to import (why Final Cut?), that is not only what I want. I need to select in and out points for each clip, easily and quickly. Not clear and straightforward in the new ContentBrowser. Fortunately Transfer is working for me and I plan to stay with it.

Hello Ian Cook , i have modified the link in Dropbox using share option no need to log now.
Please reply when you have download so i can deleted the files in this folder for my clients uses.
Even if not the final and correct solution i have reinstall XDCAM Transfer 2.13 for emergency uses.
I am still behind you and Sony Content Browser and searching the solution of this serious problem.
Rewrap to .MOV is needed for my workflow so you must understand XdcamTransfer save me for now.

Solution found hope Sony Fix-it in next release,here are the steps to follow with FCP X and Sony Content Browser 2.1 with any XDCAM EX or XDCAM HD MPEG HD 422 wow what a saga Ian Cook.

Select any XDCAM EX or XDCAM HD card on the Sony Content Browser Explorer Window.
Clips will appear,Click to Select one of them, Click Edit and choose Select All will highlight all Clips.
Control Click on Any Clips and Select Import in Final Cut Pro , All Clips get Rewrap in .Mov in One Shot.

Now Sony have to say why if you click on import in Final Cut Pro Button below the Viewer Dont Work.
Why if you Click on File on the Menu Bar the Import in Final Cut Pro is not Available Automatically …..

ok… but how is this different from what we’ve been doing and the screen recording I sent you?

-link the card/archive
-select all or select multiple
-Import into FCP

The button below the viewer is an ‘express’ import that automatically imports using the most recent settings, without a dialog box or a chance to change anything (like the ‘whole clip vs sub clip’ option). But in our tests and discussions we always used/referenced the menu option..

FCP 7 and FCP X have completely different architecture. There is no way around a basic preference selection for the one you are using.

So I’m not sure what is broken. But I’m glad you are back in business.

Thank-you Ian for all your support in my Saga trying to solve my problem,finally i can say Solved.
Hope on next release it will not be needed to Control-Click a clip to do Import in Final Cut Pro.
Just select all clips and click file then import in FCP listed also the button don’t work for me.

But having Sony Content Browser working is all i need,Thanks again.
