Hi Ian Using XDCAm Browser did not work. It’s giving me this error message:
Failed to import clip

[Greg Ball]

Downloading that now. I’ll get back to you. Thanks so much Ian.

[Greg Ball]

Ian thanks for your patience.

1. Does not work It does not import the mp4s
2. This control click does not have a FCP option. It gives me an option of MXF for NLEs or MXF for Pro Res
3. I do not have a card, just the BPAV folder
4. This option gives me an error message saying

Failed to import clip.
Reason: You don’t have the right to access the file or writing is prohibited for the file.

First I get this error message
Failed to import movie from file at /Volumes/FreeAgent GoFlex Drive/gball 5_3/3-3-12/BPAV/CLPR/ALee1363_01/ALee1363_01.MP4 (-50)

Then when I just click on the smi file. I get this message:
Exception opening XDCAM EX file (Condition Failure- Recognised meta Box)

[Greg Ball]

Thanks Dale! Good to hear from you. Unfortunately my shoot is in 2 days, so I can’t purchase this in time.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for responding: Yes, Transfer 2.13 sees everything. I see a short 3 second color bars clip with a .mp4 that’s named ALee1362-01.MP4 and then a 23:03:00 clip named ALee1363.SMI.

In the subclips I see the SMI file and 7 MP4 files named Part 1 through Part 7

In XDCam Browser, I see the clip and can play the clip there. I’ve never used browser before. What would my next steps be?

[Greg Ball]

Sorry I didn’t notice the you were on FCP 5.1

[Greg Ball]

Just import the footage into FCP and drag it to the timeline. FCP will set the sequence for you. Just click yes when it asks.

To Ian… Nope we only used one card. That’s the weird thing. The camera operator left the card in the camera when he returned it to me so I would know which card he used.

To Michael…nothing from the last interview is there. It’s as if they never recorded it.

You said it’s “free to subscribers” since you’re not a subscriber, I doubt you can do anything. Why not call them?
