i’ll try that mike.
i have a number of different folders which contain BPAV folders for different projects and i’ve attempted to import some of those to no avail. i know the media is good because i’ve imported them as mxf into my avid mc.
i’ll try the preference files but i only installed yesterday so i don’t think that’s it but you’re right, it’s worth a try.
thanks.

thanks mike.
i had just tried that when your suggestion came thru.
i got rid of any and all versions of ex transfer that i had on my computer.
i downloaded the sony plug in for use with the fcp log and transfer.
i launched fcp, launched log and transfer and for an instant the tool recognizes the media and then
fcp crashes… it blinks off with the message that no other os apps were affected.

when i used the ex transfer 2.11(and other versions) then the opposite happened… ex transfer crashed and i got the no other apps affected message.

i’m thinking of uninstalling fcp(arduous process) and starting from scratch.

any other suggestions?

thanks.

one way to step thru the fields in avid is within the effects editor.

you’ve got it.
xdcam transfer app works in conjunction with fcp which i don’t have. it utilizes fcp’s codec to wrap the quicktime movies. i’m now in process of installing fcp just so i can use the xdcam transfer app merely to create the dang quicktime movies(with timecode).
seems like the only way to get around this.
i heard earlier on a post that qt is going to incorporate a tc track in its next version.

i do.
the clip browser gives you avid options… ie: mxf for nle files. it does not give you any mov file options.
so from the xdcam browser i cannot create mov files with timecode track for producer, i’ve to create
mxf, bring into avid, add timecode window and spit back out as small qt movie.
when you’ve 8 hrs of video it becomes quite time consuming.

i can’t use xdcam transfer. i’m on avid so i’ve to use xdcam browser which does not allow me to export mov files. i can create wmv files which would work but they don’t have the necessary timecode track for the producer to use.

aha !
therein lies the problem. i am using the xdcam clip browser for i have avid media composer on a mac.
i want to create the mxf files editing but the producer needs mov’s for viewing with quicktime(not fcp).

i know the xdcam transfer app allows creation of qts with timecode tracks.

no one seems to have a workflow for creating producer friendly mov files with timecode without importing into avid and spitting out tc burned in.
