SONY EX3 SxS CARD

Please provide more info.
Format shot. Lighting conditions. Settings use. PAL or NTSC country. Monitoring out of the edit system how?

Craig, what does that Calibrated Q stuff look like in demo mode? Just a wild guess.

Could it possibly be the ND filter half way across the shutter.

Good Luck

Dear Michael,

thanks for your prompt reply. I think I found out what it was. To my great expense I had down loaded the demo Download Calibrated Host Application (Mac OSX)

from https://www.calibratedsoftware.com

If you read the info that goes with the Demo, it states that these grey bars would come with it because this is the restrictions of the Demo version. I didn’t not know I was even using the software. It says you can uninstall the demo which I did but my footage and anything coming in to the EXCAM TRANSFER had this grey line through it.

I knew it was not the card or the camera because I was able to view the same clips in EXCAM X Clip browser without lines.

So I have now gone and bought the full version of the software so I might be able to retrieve my clips without lines. This cost $80 and I was unable to receive the down load right away, they say it takes 48 hours, which to me seems a bit dodgy.

I’ve read about this software on other sites which say it’s supposed to be great.

Have you heard of this software, this company or this problem?

Thanks MBG

URGENT!!!!

It’s worse than I thought. I have now discovered that CALIBRATED should not be used with FINAL CUT PRO. I wish this was made clear to me from the start. So I still have the grey lines and need help fixing things back to normal.

Yes, their XDCAM EX decode should not be used with FCP because FCP has it’s own XDCAM MOV decode.
Not to use in FCP https://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp

On the other hand the MP4 import is designed to work with FCP and all Quicktime based apps. I use this version so I can import MP4 without having to wrap to MOV.

Hi,

I recently purchased a Sony Ex-3, however everytime I have try to dump the footage from the SxS Pro Card, it comes up on the desktop, double-click and only one folder with various files, such as: .xml,.edl & all the quicktime files are .mp4, and even with the software sony provided with the EX-3. I am using a macbook pro. I just cant import into FCP, or rid these .mp4 files, any help would be apprecitated.

Thanks,

Pete
