Wow I wish I had this yesterday as it seems to fix the random clip order where you select the clips, having them in numerical order is great. I changed the clip reference label for many different products on a table top shoot and I imported them into their own folders and had to search through the random clip order to separate them and now the clips are in order of when they were shot.
I’m not sure what else was fixed but it is much better to have the clips in numerical order.
If any other fixes were made please post them.

Sony UK had this posted a few days back Sony USA is (and has been) days behind the other Sony regions. Sony USA also makes it REALLY HARD to find the updates IMHO.

[Michael Palmer] “If any other fixes were made please post them.”
If only Sony made all this clear with a What’s New fixes and enhancements. They did add support for XDCAM HD 422.

Just to be clear the Transfer Tool is not just for the EX series. It’s for all XDCAM transfer with Final Cut Pro.

Thanks for the tip!
