I’ve figured it out. When I imported, I kept the original clip on an external hard drive and had FCPX import and create a proxy but not copy the original media.
When I go to export, Compressor is looking for the original media which I didn’t have connected. Connected it and everything looks great.
That was my mistake but it would help if FCPX warned me like 10.0 versions did that linked files are missing. At least I don’t see any warnings.

I’ll check that out – thanks. That would be a useful feature on this camera when trying to adjust color temp by eye.

Thanks Matt – the recompress all frame setting fixed it.

Great ideas. I’ll try these tomorrow. Stay tuned…

Hey Chris,
I have an XH-A1 as well and am testing these settings. Yes – once the tape head disengages, it stops working. But, if you hit record on the tape, it will capture through firewire for as long as the tape is rolling. Plus then you have a tape back up.

That worked! We had to reformat the FS-100, copy the folder of mxf files into the ‘0’ folder and run ORGANIZE P2.
Hooked up the Mac, FCP – Log and Transfer – they all showed up.
Thanks for the expertise!

Another option I tried was to nest the 960×720 sequence into a 1280×720 sequence in FCP before exporting. This worked but again – render time was four+ hours.
It seems to me that there is an unnecessary step I am taking somewhere…

That works but the processing out of Compressor takes four+ hours for a nine minute video. Using standard settings it only takes about 45 min. I was hoping there was a faster workflow than this work around.
Thanks for any advice – outside of buying a faster box.

I am using the QT H.264 codec. When I use standard Compressor QT H.264 settings, it gives me a 960×720 aspect ratio QT file.
My work around – manually changing settings to 1280×720 square works but is there a better way?
Thanks!
