Rafael…

Thanks for the response… However, I am still not able to split up a BPAV folder and I still not sure if that is possible… So, one quick question… Have you been able to successfully split up a BPAV folder? Meaning, you have the original BPAV folder that had 10 clips in it… You saved half of the folder (in raw format) to one drive and the other half (in raw format) to another drive? I want to save my original raw BPAV files by client… I can’t seem to get it to work… I can import the files (i.e. make them .mov files) and save them by client… But that is not what I want… I want to save the original footage BPAV clip files…

If this is possible, I need you to walk me through it like I was a 3 year old…. Here is what i did… I open the clip browser.. I double click on the 8gig card… The clips came up…. I went into the edit tab and added a new folder…. I drag the clips from the 8gig card to the new folder… It transferred it over and converted it to an MXP file, which i am not sure I want to do… When I go into final cut, I can see the file in the new folder… Nor can I see or access the file in XDCAM Tranfer…. So, I am not sure what putting it in the new folder is going to do for me…. Any help would be helpful..

This may be a stupid question, but did you down load sony’s log and transfer plug in to fcp? You can’t use fcp’s native log and transfer… I did that too and it does recognize the card

Thanks for your response… You noted that the Clip Browser is used to rewrap orphan MP4s into new BPAV folders… That is what I want to do… Sometimes I shoot for multiple clients on the same card… I would like to save the raw footage clips (i.e. BPAV folder) by client… So, that means that need to break up and “rewrap” some clips for one client and some for another…. I was pretty sure you can do that, however, I can’t seem to figure it out… I may simply not have Clip Brower set up correctly… For instance, I read that there is the top window and the bottom window… I only have to top window… Does anyone know if there is a manual for 2.6? I haven’t be able to find one..

Thanks
