I spent nearly a week trouble shooting this issue and was about to get a refund on my Decklink card when I discovered a solution (for me at least).

This is what resolved the issue for me. Go to Premiere’s ‘Preferences’ and then the ‘Playback’ section. In the ‘Audio Device’ pull down menu make sure you have ‘Blackmagic Playback’ selected (mine was set to Adobe Playback).

Note on that same page you need to have the ‘Blackmagic Playback box ticked further down under ‘Video Device’.

Hope that helps.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for trying to help. The company who sold this to me are pro broadcast suppliers but they wouldn’t know the FCP settings, since they are keyed up on hardware not all the variations and base settings of NLE’s.

The manual I have read cover to cover and apart from installing the XF plugin, it gives no other info.

The video link you provided does not cover ingesting Xf footage, at the start it states that it excludes FCP third party plugins and lists what it does cover… not XF footage sadly:-(

I have just put in an order for an XF300, but haven’t actually put through the payment yet. I just found this thread and I’m a bit concerned.

My normally workflow is to shoot a project abroad for several weeks and every couple of days on location I’ll back up my rushes from the memory cards inside the camera onto two external hard drives (thus I have 2 copies of everything).

I’ll then wipe the cards and continue shooting. When I finish the field shooting and return home I’ll import the rushes into Final Cut Pro 7 via Log and Transfer ending up with ProRes/.mov files.

Up until now I have been shooting on a Sony HXR-NX5 in AVCHD.

From what I’ve read on this post I’m concerned that as I back up the rushes from the camera to the external hard drives the file structure is corrupted. Am I understanding this right?

If I continue to use my current workflow does this mean FCP 7 will not import the rushes stored on the two external hard drives?

If so this is a real deal breaker since I can’t afford to use Compact Flash cards like film, I will need to overwrite them since I usually come home with up to 30 hours of rushes.
