Shane I sent you an email about MXF4MAC. Would love to talk to you about it and workflow.

Very interesting since that’s exactly what I’m looking for.

Would I use MXF4MAC as a standalone and not have to use P2CMS at all? Do they have a trial version at all?

I checked out Calibrated’s MXF Import, and I like how it is integrated with FCP. I did the import folder option and noticed that it brought the contents in, but did not span the files. Is there a certain way to use it?

Should I try CatDV instead?

Thanks! We have used log and transfer for a long time now, but ever since updating to 7 on all our systems, it always creates digital artifacts no matter how we try it. So I had started looking into alternate ways to speed up our workflow with no problems, so we started with the P2CMS route.

I’ll check on the other 2 programs you mentioned. Thanks so much!

My process is basically loading up the P2 cards, launching p2cms, offloading the footage to internal drive > external drive, then using RayLight to instantly work with the files. Maybe it’s the fact that RayLight is just finding XMF files and creating .mov links from those files without looking for spanned info.

So after RayLight does this and imports the files into FCP, instead of 3 clips that I want (all 3 are spanned), I get 6 individual clips that I have to work with instead =/

I’ve tried several ways to get our footage off to external/internal drives and even using “export > Compare” for verification, it doesn’t want to span the clips. 3 clips that turn into 6 is getting very annoying. Am I missing something here?

Ever since using FCS3, our log and transfer has been constantly glitching. So I looked into it for the 3 of our editors and decided to ingest/export using P2CMS and then using Raylight to bring the .xmf files into FCP.

Now the issue I’ve been running into is that p2cms is doing what Shane said before, it creates a single contents folder per clip even if it is spanned. Now, I have a bunch of spanned clips that I don’t want, and can’t seem to figure out what the issue is.

Any help?
