so you don’t use XDCAM Transfer? That’s what i use to get BVAP to .mov files.
What process/work-through do you use in Clipbrowser to get BVAP to archive status on HD? I don’t see any copy/paste type option in there. All i see are .mfx, AVI, DV options where it is essentially wrapped in to whatever format you want, with no option working for a FCP system.

i’m in our boat. I am editing in FCP and have been simply copy/paste BVAP to HD then re-wrapping to .mov via XD CAM TRansfer, totally bypassing Clipbrowser. Now i am looking in to archiving BVAP and getting files off media card through something more secure than copy/paste. This is where Clipbrowser comes in, but can’t seem to get a simple import of files off card going. All i see are these .mxf file. Guess i need to go over manual. What did you end up doing?

this works like a charm, too.

Where can i “tell” the compressor engine that it’s a WS 4:3 movie i’m rendering?

I’m trying the “streaming” QT 7 setting at 800kbs.

That casio is sweet, from what i’ve seen. Good for lab experiments and foolin’ around with stuff you want to post on web.TV…not so much, from what i read.

i see. All that makes perfect sense…this is what i was wondering. Actually, i work for a municipal cable channel, and i’m solo, so no dire consequences if something were to ever get lost or “trapped” in a .mov format. Regardless, need to pick up on some good habits while i’m still early in the process.
Actually, i probably would be smart to backup to both HD and optical, no? Maybe do .mov to HD and BVAP to optical? That way if i need files for a correction or re-edit they are there on external HD ready to go.

in that link the sample vid says that shot at regular speed and then used Twixtor…did i read that right?

I started out using BROWSER but then moved on to TRANSFER to wrap files in MOV for use in FCP. I don’t even use BROWSER anymore…i just copy/paste BVAP folder to HD then wrap in .mov in TRANSFER. Are you saying it’s never a good idea to drag/drop BVAP files from card to HD…instead use BROWSER?
Is this solely for safety reasons, or are there other reasons, other than what you mentioned? After reading your post i opened up BROWSER for first time on months to play with it. It looks different, maybe there was an upgrade that got downloaded recently or maybe it’s more evidence that i’m losing my mind.
Regarding initial post, i’m kinda confused at to what it is your trying to do. I’m kinda new to XDCAM myself, having just done one large project and a couple of small ones. The one project had a good 50+ clips so there was alot of work to do in organizing before i ever got down to editing. That’s the one thing i hate about the flash media method…organizing and naming clips.

So split the two different video formats (they are currently edited together in one sequence) in to their own sequences and convert one to the other or visa versa by exporting to Compressor, or convert both formats to ProRes and then combine in to same sequence before making a movie file?
