XDCAM Audio Import Issues

[Gerry Curtis]

Tom:

Thanks for clarifying that for me, I kept everything in the same AE project (and avoided numbers in the file name) and dynamic link’s been working great. I’ve also used your method for opening the AE project file first. Thanks!!!

Eric: I’m using the browser to import the BPAV folders, not the files transcoded from FCP. Working directly off the SXS cards is not a practical solution for me since I’m working with a project shot over 9 days.

I’m just going to transcode everything to ProRes, I don’t have time to troubleshoot this and am interested to see if my experience is smoother than my last working with DSLR footage.

Thanks for your support and replies, I appreciate it!

PPro does make an audio conform for these files and where you have these files targeted to a drive that may be full or if there is any sort of a drive permissions issue, those files can’t be written completely.

Obviously when you make a ProRes conversion, the file is pre-converted, so that would not show the same issue.

Sorry – I didn’t make it more clear. I didn’t mean to say work directly from the cards. Instead, import the entire BPAV folder into Premiere Pro. Instead of using the Media Browser to bring each clip in, use File -> Import -> select the BPAV folder, then in the bottom of the import window choose Import Folder. That will import the whole folder. You’ll get an box that comes up with some import error messages – just skip past that. I’ve always done that method for bringing XDCAM EX footage in, and I’ve never had your issue.

Glad to hear you got the AE issue worked out.

Hi Eric,

I’ve tried that method and had the same audio issue.

Cheers,

The conform files….good call, Tim. I’d bet that’s the issue.

Hi Tim,

I think you’ve pinpointed the issue, when I drag a file into another drive and then import it the audio is fine. The file was initially on the laptops hardrive (which has a lot of free space). I’ve tried repairing my permissions & trashing my preferences but that didn’t solve the problem.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Gerry
