Also waiting for FCPX to accept XAVC long.
In the meantime, I have looked for a workaround. Catalyst browse will encode to pro-res, but doesn’t keep the time code, which is a MAJOR problem for my workflow.
Unless I am doing something wrong….
Anybody have a plan B?

Sorry, my mistake. I recorded AVCHD. The catalyst (v2.3.0) browse message reads ‘transcoding is not available for spanned AVCHD clips’

recorded to a single 64GB card, record duration 21min, cam sony X70

Hi Ian
No, I am recording the new format XAVC-L long format on the X70. Very long takes. A message appears in the software saying that spanned clips (XAVC?) are not supported.

Hi Ian
I downloaded the recent update of Catalyst Browse. Unfortunately it now does not support linked media recorded on the X70. My trial of Catalyst prepare has expired, does this support linked media? (Long record time media on cards).
Does anybody have actual experience of XAVC recorded on a X70 into FCPX.

Hi Ian
I too am having trouble with XAVC. Sony recommended Content Browser, and included a serial number for it with the PWX-X70 camera.
Content Browser doesn’t find the XAVC files. (It does find AVCHD).
I have installed Catalyst browse and prepare. Prepare does transcode files to ProRes. I have also installed pdzk-lt2.
The alarming thing now is that when I try to media import into FCPX from the card (san-disc extreme pro) it crashes FCPX AND corrupts the media!
I get a message ‘FCP quit while using the flamingo_RAD plug-in’.
Can I delete this plug-in?
