  • XDCAM EX into iMovie?

    A client wants to use XDCAM EX footage in iMovie. Is there a “best path” for this conversion?

    Thanks!

    I just tried an XDCAM EX mov. file in iMovie version 9.09. It transcoded the file on import to the Apple Intermediate codec. During the import iMovie said it was “optimizing” the movie. So I guess the way to do it is to first re-wrap the files from the BPAV folder using XDCAM Transfer or Content Browser, then import those files directly into iMovie. The A.I.C. iMovie files will be deposited into: Macintosh HD>Users>yourname>Movies>iMovie Events>new event.
