Hello everybody… I have a problem importing HDV footage on Fcpx.
I have a MBP 15 inches, late 2010, 4GB Ram, FCP X and a CANON HV30.
When I try to import from HV30 via Firewire, I can see the video playback scoring on the interface of FCPX, then I click “Import”. When the job is done (I’ve tried several footage lengths, from a few seconds to an hour), I close the importing interface. Here’s the problem: on the Event containing the imported footage, I can find the file but it appears to be OFFLINE (I mean visually there is the the Red stripe with the exclamation mark meaning that the file is not available.)
So I checked the folder on the Hard Disc and the mov file created IS THERE where it should be! (Final Cut Pro Events/Event/Original media)
So it sounds like FCPX can’t link to the imported file even though the file has been imported….
I’ve tried to generate a proxy file, and it works: I can see the footage on the Events track list and I can work with it, but I don’t want to convert every time in proxy resolution.
Anyone can help me?

PS. I have no problems importing with FCP7 on the same MBP .

Thank you very very much…
