XDCAM Transfer software importing duplicate clips
Title pretty much says it all. On both a G5 and a MacBook Pro – using FCP 5.1.1 on 10.4.7. Anyone experience this?

Yes. I stopped trying to import directly into a FCP 5.1.1 bin. I set up a target folder on the media drive, and let Sony’s Transfer software dump the clips into that folder directly. After Transfer was done, I imported the folder into FCP manually, which wasn’t really any bother anyway.
Do I know why the duplicate clips show up? No. Do I know why when I tried to delete one of the duplicate clips BOTH clips disappeared? No. Do I think Sony’s Transfer software should say “Beta” on it? Yes.
And don’t get me started about sending sequences back to XDCam HD disks……

agreed in every respect. the duped clips are a real pain … and what is with the pita “export> using assertion failure” feature ?
i have a love/hate relationship with that software … gotta love what it does well, but very frustrated with all the bugs and oh-so-obvious missing features.
