What you need mate is the sony XD CAM EXPORTER free software, search on google.
Export your self contained file in the format you shot it in, then ‘easy set up’ a new sequence set to XD CAM (and the required settings). THEN DO FILE > NEW SEQUENCE.
Drag in the exported self contained file. It will ask ‘DO YOU WISH TO CHANGE THE SEQUENCE TO MATCH THE CLIP SETTINGS?’
Click NO!
Then go file>export>sony xd cam
Put your settings as you want them. BAM. Job’s a goodun. Just had my client confirm the files I sent were fine. So its golden!

I’ve actually worked around this myself and the answer is easy!
Easy setup a new sequence that is XDCAM HD 50i.
Export from the original edit a self contained HD file, then drag that into the XDCAM HD 50i setup with the main 2 audio tracks that have everything on it. You then are free to add the other channels below! Channels in the XDCAM sequence should be dual mono and then down mix as db as your client as specified. Also be aware of how they want their audio tracks to be grouped, that setting is located on the first tap of the sequence settings.
Once your file is all set up and ready in the XD CAM sequence, export via Sony’s XD CAM export software which is free on their site. You are left with a love MXF file!
12 hours of stress may have paid off. We shall see! Thanks for the help guys!

Yea I’ve got that Bouke
Only problem is these guys want 8 audio channels and the exporter says you can only have 2 or 4?! So it’s not allowing me to export the file.
Argh. If I’m doing the audio export process wrong then please correct me. This is a new ballpark for me.
Audio channels needed are:
Ch 1+2 = Full mix
Ch 3+4 = international sound (this is raw sound, sound that cannot be taken away from the picture,sound that’s been recorded directly to the camera)
ch 5+6 = music and effects
Ch7+ 8 = V/O -
Yea I’ve looked at that. Will it take the 8 audio tracks I’ve put in, and put them in as MXF audio? And will it convert to XDCAM HD. I’m considering buying it but I want convincing that is the answer first.
The original footage and audio isn’t MXF or XDCAM HD data you see so its worried me.
