also, i know it’s an extra step but if you manually create the BPAV folder and tuck all the contents into it Content Browser should be able to see it.

Hi Bill–

You are correct in that during copies Catalyst Browse does not create the full archive. I am working to get this changed so that it regenerates the BPAV like the legacy applications.

To start addressing the launch/performance issues, try starting Browse while holding down Control + Shift. This will reset the application

No, but this feature is on the road map and should be implemented soon.

Content Browser can do it but the file needs to be part of an archive to be properly recognized. This is probably the way to go.

Also the TC issue with ProRes transcodes in Browse has been fixed and the update should be posted tomorrow. V 1.2.

XDCAM and XAVC Intra-frame .mxf files are fully supported. These files will import without issue. XAVC-Long GOP files are not currently supported but will be soon. As soon as I have an updated ETA from Apple I will share this info.

The codecs are installed by Apple. Check your automatic software update queue and make sure you are not missing any ‘pro apps’ or ‘pro video formats’ updates. These are what put the codecs on to the system (as long as FCP is installed on the same machine).

XAVC is .mxf, see my earlier post

The 50% discount was for users who purchased Browser licenses through the Sony Creative Software site.

Exporting to .mxf is available as an export format in both Catalyst apps. You can’t export to XDCAM 50 Mb 422 but you can export to XAVC-I in Browse and either XAVC-I or DNxHD in Prepare. There is a 2-week trial available if you want to experiment with it, though the spanned file support is not quite finished there, either.

Catalyst Browse and Catalyst Prepare do not yet handle spanned EX clips correctly in some cases. This is being addressed and will be fixed in a forthcoming update. For now please use Content Browser or XDCAM Transfer. I may be able to provide a bit more direction if you let me know what you are editing with and what OS you are on. As far as the current landscape, these NLEs/plugins handle spanned EX files correctly:

Avid Media Composer 8.3/Sony AMA plugin v 3.40
Final Cut Pro 10.1.4/Sony Media Import plugin v 1.2.1
Premiere Pro CC
Vegas Pro 13
Grass Valley Edius Pro 7
Sony Content Browser 2.3.1 (currently supported up to Mac OS 10.9 and Windows 7 SP1)
Sony EX Clip Browser/XDCAM Browser (discontinued but supported up to Mac OS 10.7 and Windows 7 SP1)
Sony XDCAM Transfer 2.13 (discontinued but supported up to Mac OS 10.8.5)

Hi Bill,

Did you call into support with Qs about an .smi issue this morning? Feel free to contact me directly.

Content Browser or XDCAM Transfer will rewrap .mxf to .mov from any XDCAM format so you are good there. For FCP X no external rewrap is required.

All the best,

Ian
