sony PMW-Ex1 w/ FCP – error message “Pro codecs required”
I have yet to hook the actual camera up but I am trying to make sure I have everything ready to go – latest version of FCP on an 8 core and just downloaded the required software from the Sony site.
When i go to Import and select xdcam from the import menu it gives me this error message.
Is this because i dont even have the camera connect to the mac or am i indeed actually missing some codecs – if so where do i get these?
thank you
Lisa

I just tried choosing “Import Sony XDCAM” from the file menu without having my EX1 connected and the Sony Transfer Tool started up within FCP and I got this prompt in the main Transfer Tool window:
“Use the Add button or insert media into a connected XDCAM device”
I got no warning about not having the correct codecs installed, so I don’t know why you’re getting that warning on your machine. The XDCAM codecs reside within FCP and not with the Sony Transfer Software. Just double-check that you have the following bits to make it all work:
FCP v. 6.0.2 or better
Mac OS 10.4.11 or better
Quicktime v.7.3.1 or better
Sony Transfer Tool v.2.1 or better
