Thanks Richard. The mic. is a short Sony gun mic. made specifically to fit on a professional Sony video camera. You can have the mic. output as stereo across ch. 3 & 4 or as mono to either or both chs 3 & 4. I’m going to break out the 5 pin socket to two 3 pin xlrs so I can record the camera mic to ch 4 and have ch. 3 free as another mic. Input. I’m keen to avoid blowing up anything by having +48v going to the wrong place, so hesitant to mono l & r from the mic. The mic is only used for natsot so maybe taking just one channel is the way to go. I’m aware that +48v will go to the other 3 pin xlr whether it needs it or not but that’s not been a problem in the past.

I shut down several times a day. I’ve reset PPro and also reset SMC and PRAM fr the hell of it.This started happening for no apparent reason…

Hi. Thanks for reply.
Bit rate is the same but there’s fewer pixels to encode. Why would that not make a smaller file?
Are you saying that having reduced the frame size I should be able to manually reduce bit rate to get more or less the same picture quality? -
My solution was to reselect input even if its already selected and then never close vo tool. Minimising is fine, closing will require input to be reselected.

Hi, Not quite sure what to make of your recent post regarding exporting XDCAM from FCP X to SxS card. I’ve been failing to make this happen with FCP X for a while now, with the thought at the back of my mind all the time that if it was possible, it would be easy, as it is in FCP 7.
To remove all doubt would you be able to tell me if it is currently possible to export from FCP X to a SxS card, a sequence shot in XDCAM 422 50Mb/s.
The Sony Content Browser manual, pages 108-109, say it is and mentions setting ‘open with’ to XDCAM Content Exporter which, having installed it, I added it to the list and selected it.
I’ve got as far as having the export refused because it was in Pro Res (so changed to XDCAM 50Mb) and also because the sequence was shown as being in stereo, despite the storyline being full of 8 ch mono clips. I see from the export settings that while its possible to change video codec there’s no control over audio which is apparently set automatically from the choice of video codec.
I’m using up to date everything … El Capitan on new Macbook Pro, latest Content Browser and FCP X (Trial at moment) Can’t believe this isn’t possible this far and I’m reduced to re-importing into FCP 7 to write back to card.
Please tell me I’m missing something obvious and this is easy …
Thank you.

Hi Dave, Thanks once again for the ideas. I’ve decided that Yosemite is an unknown and therefore risky and reverted to !0.8 which I’ve used incident free for a couple of years.
Trouble is I’m always editing to deadlines in the next few minutes so there’s never time to ponder and try one potential solution at a time, so I’m unlikely to find out exactly was the cause was assuming it doesn’t happen again of course. I’ve taken to trashing prefs and repairing permissions as preventative maintenance … we’ll see …..Thanks again
Steve.

FCP seems fine on Yosemite with 4GB RAM Didn’t think FCP addressed more than 2.5GB anyway and I rarely do stuff with lots of rendering. Of course this problem may be the first indication it’s not … and this us why I have a backup Mac book running 10.8 …
