I have never had a problem with HDV audio imported directly from a Sony Z5 to FCPX, from day one when the software was released.

Try to Share as ProRes Master File, then import the file to Compressor. It’s an extra step or two, but it’s always worked for me.

It’s not the XAVC-L clips that Sony Catalyst Browse can’t see, it’s the Camera Archive created by FCP X. Using your method, I’ve tried pointing to folders containing AVCHD content and Nikon D7000 .mov files. In all cases the error message is the path does not exist. While Camera Archive is merely a container, that container structure is invisible to Catalyst Browse.

This is the path to a Camera Archive containing XAVC-L content:
Media Drive/FCPX_Cam Archives/Cairns-006_2016-06-17/Private/XDRoot/Clip

And the path to a Camera Archive with Nikon D700 content:
Media Drive/FCPX_Cam Archives/1407_RLK-Party/DCIM/105D7000

Here are a couple of screen shots of my Finder window and part of the Catalyst Browse window.

In the first image you can see the Camera Archives, including the Media Drive/FCPX_Cam Archives/1407_RLK-Party/DCIM/105D7000. But in the second images, none of the Camera Archives appear.

Thanks John. I tried your solution, but Catalyst Browse gives me an error message: “The Specified Path Does Not Exist”. Yes, I can right click on the Camera Archive icon and choose Show Package Contents, and follow the folders to the clips. But not with the Sony software, even selecting File > Go To > file path name.

Funny, I just looked at the calendar this morning and wondered when the next FCPX update would land. That’s before I read the 9to5 post.

While I like the new look, it’s next to impossible to read as the font size looks like it’s about 6 pt. it’s even worse in the message window when writing a new post or replying to one. Especially on an iPad. Some newspaper sites have the option to select text size. Is that possible with this new version?

The last feature update was April 13, 2015. That’s 282 days and counting, thanks to Richard Taylor’s FCPX.TV web site.

We’re due.

What is the speed of the LaCie Rugged drive? Is it Thunderbolt or USB?

Well, at least my early 2009 Mac Pro didn’t go up in smoke like an icon removed from the dock LOL.
