Last I heard, JL Cooper Eclipse support was in the pipeline … but MC Color, not so much.

Toggle on “Unlimited RT” … the setting is found in a popup menu when you press the “RT” button at top left of your timeline window. Note that the setting is only available if you are working in a natively supported edit codec.

“XDCAM” ? Different frame sizes and fps rates ? You need to be a lot more specific.
For example, HDV is 1440×1080, XDCAM HD is also 1440×1080 and comes in three flavours, LP, SP and HQ (and XDCAM HD “SP” pretty much is HDV). Then there are XDCAM EX codecs and XDCAM HD 422 variants. And there are SD formats too ie DV and IMX, can also be “XDCAM” codecs.
Fwiw, when working with any flavour of XDCAM HD and HDV (same frame size, same frame rate) you can mix them to your hearts content with nary a hiccup. I know that I (and many others) have done this regularly without issue.
But that said, just because you can doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be better off following Shane’s “ProRes sequence” advice 😉
Don’t forget the details.

That s correct, the FCP Reconnect method is just a means to reconnect to clip footage based on embedded reel and time data … something that FCP can’t do by itself.
If you have a specific need to ingest only the used media then its still possible using another of Bouke’s tools .. it’s called XDcamExtract for FCP:

So can we assume you don’t have a deck or camera with suitable I/O and/or a I/O device for your Mac? Bugger.
All is not lost though … what I think you need right now is a superb bit of software from Videotoolshed’s poster child, Bouke Vahl. Check out his FcpReconect tool:
https://www.videotoolshed.com/product/41/fcpreconnectWith this you should be able to reimport all the footage from your source XDCAM media (using XDCAM Transfer and the U1) … doesn’t matter if you haven’t the original logging data, just re-ingest the whole thing … then point FcpReconnect at the ingested footage and have it analyze that footage and reconnect your edit to that media (based on an xml would be my preference, but it works with exported batch lists or edls too)
Good luck

Hey Sam
What’s the status on this issue? Don’t recall seeing your post from before but now Paul has bumped it back up it does seem pertinent that you may be trying to run a 25fps and/or PAL output from your V4HD systems into equipment thats expecting a 30fps and/or NTSC signal , and that surely won’t work well.
BTW if you haven’t found it already there is a MOTU V4HD forum right here on the COW: https://forums.creativecow.net/motu

Was it imported with XDCAM Transfer or FCP’s built-in Log and Transfer? If the latter then I’d imagine that File > Batch Capture should bring the Log and Transfer window back up as needed.
Or, if you have I/O capture hardware then you can force a regular Log and Capture session by first exporting your sequence as a Batch List and then reimporting and batch recapturing using that Batch List as the source for the capture.

Diana Weynand’s Final Cut Pro books in the Apple Pro Training Series are a good place to start.

[Roi Turnoy] “the mp4 file that gave this error are 0kb… You know if their a way to bring them to life? Or it’s done…?”
0kb? It’s done.

[Kyle Cox] “1). tried setting the Field Dominance to ‘none’ and exported a smaller part of my sequence, but unfortunately the results turned out the same. The audio is still just as degraded as before.”
Dude, just for reference, you mentioned 2 problems: 1) distorted audio, and 2) “certain parts of my video came through altered and maimed (thick lines through the video at parts, etc).”My suggestion to change your field dominance was with specific regard to the latter (hence my quoting it before the reply).
Good luck with your application, and hope you an get this all fixed to your (and their) liking.
