Hey Dannyboy!

We’ve been using Final Cut Pro 6 for about 2 weeks now and I think its a great program to use with the XDCAM. Here is what you or your shooter needs to do, going forward:

Naming clips with the F330/350 XDCAM HD:

1. Press and hold the rotary encoder while sliding menu knob to ON. Doing this will bring up the

2. Scroll to OPERATION menu and press the rotary encoder.

3. Scroll to CLIP TITLE page.

4. Scroll down to PREFIX and change title to: NAME OF SHOW_D1_ . (D1 means Disc 1)

If you’re shooting on multiple discs on the same shoot, change D1 to D2 …etc, before recording onto the new disc.

5. Also, when starting a new disc, make sure NUMERIC on the CLIP TITLE page is at 00001. If not, scroll to CLEAR NUMERIC and execute. (I do this so we start at cut 1 on a new disc)

Now, when you import your clips using the XDCAM Transfer software, each clip will have a name and a numeric number representing the cut.

I’m sure you know this but before importing your disc into FCP name your XDCAM disc to avoid all your discs being called UNTITLED.

I hope this helps you. Take care
