[David Mathis] “The camera I have still requires the SSD to be formatted on the Mac, just a minor inconvenience.”

Which is why I said “one” camera. You don’t have that one camera, I would assume. And it’s just a minor inconvenience until it halts shooting.

[David Mathis] “Boris Continuum Complete 9 is now available for Resolve, just hoping for more third-party support.”

I mean, it’s Blackmagic…they don’t cover all their bases right out of the gate. One of their cameras can format media internally now.

I’m sure it’s heading in that direction, but it’ll take some iteration to get there.

[Oliver Peters] “Scott, I do it all the time on most commercials.”

i believe you do, absolutely, but for a lot of people, they don’t do anything beyond what a Fast Color Corrector type plugin can do for them (and still seeing a lot of default Magic Bullet Looks in projects too).

[Steve Connor] “Moto X looks very nice but it’s too big!”

No such thing as “too big” :-p

WideDR is a good all-around picture profile. Additional ones can be found here.

I have a Anker 7 Port + 1 port charging hub that is almost always connected to my MBPr and it works great. Highly recommended.

[Jeremy Garchow] “FCPX has field dominance overrides if this is a problem.”

Yeah, but I prefer my workflow to be as fool-proof as possible. Any setting that can be toggled on and off that can make a huge difference in the quality of footage does not sit well with me.

Would rather process it in ClipWrap and not worry about it, then miss out on a clip or two or suddenly find out that the override has become deactivated for some reason.

I have to say that I prefer the approach Darren outlined, mostly because I use a lot of ClipWrap, and I do that for two reasons.

1) Makes skimming through clips in an AVCHD on the Finder level far more manageable. The QuickTime interface for AVCHD folder structures is very poor. It’s fine as it is, but the simple fact that you have to start from the beginning to go through clips every single time is really bad from a time-management perspective. So it’s nice having a straight up listing of QuickTime files that one can easily parse through.

2) As far as I know, FCPX still cannot correctly interpret 30p footage from a Canon C100 (it’s 60i with 2:2 pulldown applied but the flag for the pulldown is wrong or something). I do a lot of 30p work, so this makes sure I don’t get any interlacing.

So ClipWrap the AVCHD archive, then use the Better Finder Renamer. I totally sympathize with the annoyance of 0001, 0002, and so on naming convention of this format.

[Scott Witthaus] “Or clean and elegant.”

No, that won’t be the case until the UX is tweaked to be in line with Yosemite. It’s still got that heavy iOS6 vibe going on.

[Steve Connor] “Not bad for an NLE that some people think isn’t “professional””

I really don’t think there’s any disagreement about this aspect. I think it now boils down to whether or not you want tracks.
