The JVC camera gives me two settings. .MOV/ Quicktime or MP4. The footage was recorded in .MOV/Quicktime.

The only reference to XDCam I see is the following from article link above, “this is the first video camera to shoot directly to Apple’s QuickTime movie format (.MOV). JVC has licensed the format from Apple and has also licensed the Sony XDCAM EX codec from Sony. Thus, shooting XDCAM EX wrapped in a .MOV envelope.”

Otherwise, I will check that AMA plugin out and see how that works for me. I currently have FCP 7 running on the same computer as Avid, so it should work?

Yes, I have MPEG Stream clip and it does not show that DNxHD codec even though I have downloaded it repeatedly. Annoying! GRRRRRRRR

Oh thanks for your response Shane!

Yeah, everyone says the bigger the SSD drive the better….
Glad to hear you are loving yours.

Well I currently am editing HD footage shot on a JVC GY HM 100 in a .MOV (Quicktime)1920 X 1080 format.

(For more info. about camera read here https://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/camcorders/jvc-hm100.shtml)

But I work as a freelance editor, and can be editing footage shot from many types of cameras, often DSLR ones, such as the Canon 7d which shoots in H.264.

Short term: Need to learn how to transcode .MOV/Quicktime format into an AVID codec.

Long term: Need to transcode video shot from DSLR H.264 (and possibly other codecs) for AVID

Thanks again in advance for being awesome!
