Sony HDR-XR500 and Final cut Pro?
Does anybody have experience with the Sony HDR-XR500 Hard Drive camcorder?
I’m planning to buy one in the next few days and hoped somebody else may have already used it with FCP6. It apparently uses a AVCHD codec, the workflows I have researched online use Log and Transfer to bring in FCP friendly files. Any tips or experiences would be appreciated.
p.s I would consider another camera but the sony night vision is the decider.replied 17 years, 2 months ago 2 Members · 1 Reply

My suggestion is shoot a minute of video at the camera store, transfer it to a pen drive (if that’s possible), and see how easy it is to L & T with FCP. You’ll also be able to judge the quality and workflow that way.
