Sony EX3 Clip Browsing/Transfer at DVinfo.net

I have just bought an Sony EX3 and I'm trying to get Final Cut Pro to suck in the shots. I have the browsing software working and it can see the shots in the explorer and preview windows - but when I copy the shots to my computer, Quicktime and Final Cut can't identify the format?

Not a mac person, but I point my clients to this. It imports and rewraps as mov.

Nothing wrong with the Sony free solution.

If you want something that's even better thought out -you might try Imagine Software's Shot Put Pro.

It can make multiple copies of your SxS cards and automatically put those copies in folders you designate or even move them offline to backup storage.

It's a more robust system for backing up field production data and keeping your footage safe.

Thanks guys I'll check them out....

Still not sure why the included software isn't working for me though which is frustrating to say the least!
