XDCAM EX Clip Browser problem

[Andrew Beneze]

Hey David, I’m sure my workflow is not quite correct but is working. I use FCP Log and Transfer to get the video unwrapped and into my project. Then use Clip Browser to move the BPAV file onto my HD for archive. Make sense? Still figuring it out. Please let me if you have any hints. thx

so you don’t use XDCAM Transfer? That’s what i use to get BVAP to .mov files.

What process/work-through do you use in Clipbrowser to get BVAP to archive status on HD? I don’t see any copy/paste type option in there. All i see are .mfx, AVI, DV options where it is essentially wrapped in to whatever format you want, with no option working for a FCP system.

FCP Log & Transfer can also rewrap to mov. XDCAM Transfer has more features though.

Ive been transfering via XDCAM Transfer into FCP as mov files. It was easier than the BPAV with all the meta files. But- I cant transfer clips that are incomplete, meaning the clips that are in progress when the card switched over during the shoot.
The clips are there in the browser.
What would be the way to get those two clips in? Anybody else have this problem?

thanks

David

David, I just started shooting with the EX3 and have not seen this yet. Thanks for the heads up though. I spoke with a Sony rep the other day that gave me a direct number to their tech support for Transfer and Clip Bowser etc: 1-800-883-6818

Let us know what you find out.

David, I believe you can just copy and paste as you were already doing. I also have been exporting the unwrapped .movs from my FCP project to an Archive HD. I know this is an extra step but it gives me some peace of mind to have those copied .movs available.

David, I left off the extension for the Sony tech people: 1-800-883-6818 ext 252
