Sony PDW-F335 to FCPX

Hello all,

I have been hired by a local company to shoot a project using a Sony PDW F335 XDCAM Camera. I will be recording on the 50GB DL Discs. I am new to XDCAM, so let me apologize for my ignorance first off.

My question is this; How can I import/ingest the clips into FCPX for editing? Is it possible to do this right from the camera using Firewire? I will be recording in 1080i and 59.94.

I will be editing on a 2015 Macbook Pro (so I would assume I need a thunderbolt to firewire jumper)?

I have done some browsing around on the internet and found a software (from the Sony site) called XDCAM browser. I don't know if this will help or not?

Can anyone walk me through the process of importing.

THANK YOU!!

You will need to get the FAM drivers. You may also need to get a firewire 800 to firewire 400 (6 pin) adaptor. Things were a little finicky when those cameras came out.

I think you may also need to get the Apple pro codec pack or something along those lines, I may be incorrect on that.

Good luck!
