if you’re referring to the clips already exported, the watermark is part of the video and can’t be removed. you need to re-export. make sure you use the first option, ‘MXF for NLE.’ under no circumstances should that add a watermark to the video.
-
are there errors (onscreen or in Console) or does Avid just say “0 of X clips imported.” at any rate, yes, if the video/audio/TC are intact the MXF rewrap using CB should work.

As Craig suggested, use the first MXF option, “MXF for NLE.” This is for older versions of Avid, Premiere etc that do not support direct import of EX files. This selection changes the file wrapper without transcoding. The other options transcode the video contents to the selected XDCAM codec and are generally used when you need to put the files onto an XDCAM optical disc.
Also– if you have a recent version of Avid you can use AMA to access the files directly. Go to the Settings area–>AMA and enable ‘AMA Volume Mounting.’ Then connect your card or, if you’re reading from an archive, select File–>Link to AMA volume.

No, unfortunately this is not supported in either application.

It does this presently. 1.2 is the latest.

yes, as previously discussed XDCAM Browser will take the place of these applications.

“XdCam crashes immediately upon opening..”
If it’s crashing on launch and you can’t get to the prefs then move or delete the ‘Sony XDCAM Transfer’ folder in User/Library/Application Support (this is the default cache location– if you are caching elsewhere, you’ll need to go there and move/delete the above folder). This folder contains the cache and the application’s SQL database. After you move/delete the library folder you’ll get a blank source list and a setup prompt when you launch the application.
I’d just move it for now. If there are any negative consequences you can always put it back.
You can also try trashing the application’s preference file at user/library/preferences, though if it really is corrupt source info in the database this will probably not fix the problem.

I will have a detailed update on this shortly. As far as FCP X, we are working with Apple on ensuring that our tools work at time of release or else within a reasonable period of time from initial release.
XDCAM Transfer 2.12 will not work reliably under Lion. In all probability neither will EX Clip Browser. No further updates are planned for these applications.

Bob- delete the sources and clear the cache. Latter is done from the preferences.

Hi Daniel-
That is correct. The language selection is normal for a US or European model.
Cheers,
