Hi Don,
thank you for your reply, everything you’ve said makes perfect sense. I’m really greatful you’ve taken time to explain my questions to quite a depth, i was getting slightly confused by the responses from elsewhere. Really greatful.

I’ve got another, probably quite simple question but just to make sure that i don’t screw up. My client shot the feature at 1080p24 (23.98p) 35Mb/s VBR, which is the way they be now imported into the project.
I’ve set the project settings as follow: Format: Sony XDCAM HD, Rate: 23.98fps, Use: XDCAM EX 1080p24 VBR in the Easy set up menu in FCP. Am I right? Do you by any chance know if editors are having problems playing out from an XDCAM EX sequence in general? I’m obviously expecting some problems, simply because thats the way it sometimes goes. I do have the AJA Kona card.
Thank you so much ance again.

Hello,

i’m hoping you might be able to help further. You’ve kindly adviced me to upgrade my software which few days ago sounded like a reasonable solution to the error message i was getting. The error message is gone but i run into more problems, which is probably good because it might explain the problem further.

I’ve upgraded my FCP, which is now 6.0.4, QT is now 7.5, XDCAM transfer is 2.7 and my OS X is 10.5.4. When i open the XDCAM transfer tool a window pops up with ‘XDCAM Transfer needs the following quick time and system software components’. It goes onto naming them: the ones that are ticked green are:
MPEG IMX Codecs
XDCAM HD (25Mb/s CBS) Codecs
XDCAM HD (VBR) Codecs
DDW-V1 VDF Driver and
FAM Driver

The ones that have a red sign next to them are:
XDCAM EX Codecs and
XDCAM HD 422 Codecs.

Are these codecs part of FCP or the transfer SxS Driver? There must be something i must have missed somewhere, i’m just not sure where.

Thank you for your help. I’ll try the mov rewrap but you are probably right about the upgrade

Hi Craig,
thanks for your reply.

I currently don’t have an internet connection on my Mac (it’s being organised).

The XDCAM transfer is 2.7, QT is 7.4.1 and OS X is 10.5.2 on this Mac.

The one i’ve worked on before is at work and would love to start working from home when i can.

Thank you in advance.
