Hi guys,
really disappointed with a few things here, Ian please tell me something is being sorted for sony’s XAVC HD LONG GOP. Paulo, the camera is fantastic used it on a few shoots now and not disappointed in the slightest, image quality is great once you’ve got the XAVC HD footage into FCPX. But heres where I’m really miffed and incredibly frustrated at both Apple and Sony. The FS7 XAVC L seems to be able to be ingested into FCPX fine, the XAVC HD LONG on an SDXC card is a completely different story in that it STILL doesn’t work!! This is after an Apple Pro Video Formats update and FCPX 10.2 update
See below the attached screen shots updates confirmation about XAVC (though doesn’t actually say XAVC HD LONG) How is this actually possible!! I bought the PXW X70 camera with the view to a super fast shoot and edit turnaround, Ian, are Apple and Sony aware that this is still happening with this Camera, this is my as is many peoples profession and when you lay out money for new kit with future updates being imminent and you end up having to spend time going backward in your workflow as you still have to convert files via Sony’s converter when surely with FCPX you should easily be able to ingest this file from source, it’s crazy Please tell me what has gone wrong here and tell me some software is being written to enable XAVC HD LONG GOP directly to FCPX???
A really frustrated Chris

Hi Ray,
PP6 on the X70 menu seems to be the nicest after a few shoots.

Hi guys,
Also awaiting some FCPX XAVC long GOP updates, are we any nearer to this. Massively frustrating when all other NLE’s seem to handle long GOP with ease and powerful edit software like FCX still can’t natively pull it in?
Any news or at least an update would be hugely appreciated. Browse does work but as Chris mentions above time code is still hugely important.
I know the Sony SXS MPEG 2 Long GOP with EX3 work fine with FCPX with the correct drivers installed so surprised me that’s it’s taking so long for Sony to get the XAVC L to work natively.
Also on another note for those using FCPX is it just me or even with thunderbolt eternal drives does anyone still have spinning wheel issues? Be interested to know, using early 2014 MacBook Pro, better performance is on, background render off etc. 10.1.4 installed, Everything starts off fine then gets sticky.
Cheers
Chris
