    Try downloading the latest version of the XDCAM Transfer software. It is capable of fixing some corrupted clips:

    Thank you very much Noah.I have downloaded xdcam transfer 2.5.1 but still no luck. there are only four files in the CLPR folder MP4, PPN, XML, BIM but fifth one which is SMI is missing.

    So I copied BPAV into sxs card and tried to open using FCStudio and new XDCAM transfer but no luck. Also tried to open folder directly from desktop to XDCAM transfer without any luck. Tried copying SMI file into the corrupted CLPR folder and renamed the number. It shows the number in the Sony ex clip browser but no video only black folder with cross sign at the bottom right. Don’t know what to do with this metadata.

    The SMI file should be located as follows
    BPAV/CLPR/”CLIPNAME”/”CLIPNAME.SMI”

    Here’s content from one of my SMI flies. You can look at the content of a good SMI file and possibly recreate the info you need.
