This XDCAM EX issue is getting frustrating…
My boss demoed the new Sony EX 2…3, whatever.
He transferred all footage on his mac book pro. He runs FCP 5.1.4 Quicktime 7.6.6. Leopard. It plays fine on his laptop.
I have all the same updates and software as he does on our Intel G5. But it refuses to play even in quicktime. We don’t get it. He has all the codecs needed to play the footage, but i can’t seem to get them, and everything I read says I have to update FCP…but he’s running FCP 5.1.4…so what’s the deal.
Anyone know?

Thanks for all the input. I do want to clarify that the H264 settings are at full resolution and capacity when comparing it to raw FCP Quicktime. Visually there seems to be no difference and the H264 is about a fourth of the size.
But unless this changes anything, I appreciate again all the input. I’ve already talked with my boss and we’re keeping the raw files for archiving…still mooing!

All our finished work: video, motion graphics, etc. is exported in DV NTSC setting From Final Cut, After Effects, Motion, whatever. I was 99% sure not to archive in anything but our working settings, but I just wanted other professionals to back me up when I go to my boss about it. When he first told me this I got a little scared 🙂
But does anyone know how the H264 compression works. Cause it looks incredible compared to other codecs.
Thanks for the speediness in your replies!
