Definitely frustrating that it's at least been a year since this was reported and yet no fix has been provided. |
Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
Well the 10.2 update's out & it still won't import footage from my X70 (unless I'm missing something). It'll import either a thumbnail or audio only.
Not mad - just disappointed! |
Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
Paul - seeing the exact same thing here - audio only plus first frame of a clip. I rebooted, updated FCPX, Motion, Compressor. I see no update to Pro Codecs either. I am still on 10.10.2 however, but FCPX 10.2 says that's all that's required.
I even checked for an updated plugin from Sony. Yes, disappointing. Glad I have my EditReady/ProRes workflow worked out. |
Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
Wow... This is disappointing!!! Hopefully someone that is at NAB can try to clear this up with Sony and/or Apple. What are they thinking? How is that Edit Ready working for u? What kind of encoding times are you seeing. I am just about to buy this camera and think that I will just deal with the AVCHD until full FCPX support this there.

I just tried importing a clip myself with Final Cut X 10.2 on OS X 10.10.3. Same issue as before that others are seeing. Audio comes in with blank video. Needless to say, I will fire back a response on my bug report, but I don't expect any answer to that at this point. I'll give it a few more days, but if Sony/Apple do not have a fix for this, then no sale. I'll either keep what I have, or look at other brands. Side note... from the 'What's new' for FCX 10.2... * Support for Panasonic AVC-Ultra, Sony XAVC-S, JVC H.264 Long GOP Someone dropped the ball big time. |
Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
I wonder if it is supposed to work? Why would audio and a thumbnail import? How did it work before this update? Did it not even import anything? Someone needs to raise some hell! Im in a X70 group on Facebook and someone posted from NAB saying that there is alot of buzz on this cam!!! Supposedly the price drop was to make up for the upgrade cost when it comes out. So no new cam until then when I assume it will just ship with the update...

Both Apple's and Sony's sites _minimally_ have documentation errors. Both sites say that you can import XAVC. Which in my eyes means all flavors of that. But that's of course not true since XAVC-L fails to work. What I'd minimally like to see is for Apple/Sony to change their documentation to reflect what actually works. That means explicitly citing the exact flavors of XAVC that can be imported. That of course doesn't fix the issue, but would at least let consumers not waste time. |

Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
I just found out today that Sony are bringing out a 'Catalyst Production suite "which contains Prepare and a new 'Edit' It claims tight integration between Prepare and Edit and claims to cope with X70 files. I have only seen the promo on the Sony website. Does anyone have any more information? If this really is true, it might be a good way forward.

Unless there's a ProApps codecs release soon, there's likely not going to be another FCPX update for about 3 months give or take.

HD Warrior has a good step by step of the XAVC-L problem regarding the FS7 and the X70.
It seems that the FS7 may work with HD files. HD Warrior » Blog Archiv » Importing Sony’s XAVC footage into FCPX v10.2 |
Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
I just spoke with Ian (I believe his last name is Cook) at the Sony booth at NAB. Everyone said he's the most knowledgeable person in the Sony booth on this question. He said that Apple (and Sony in Japan) promised him that a new version of FCP X, version 10.2, would be released on Monday and it would have the fix for bringing XAVC-L files into FCP. I said that I thought v.10.2 had been released this past Monday. He didn't think that was possible but he checked and I was right. He obviously had not been able to check the update to see if it worked with the XAVC-L files but I told him that my understanding from reading this and other x70 forums was that the problem persisted. (Is this true? Did the v. 10.2 update not fix the problem?) He said that there might be a problem with the difference between xdcam file structures (used on sxs cards and optical disks) and the file structure used on SD cards, like in the x70. It could be that FCP was looking for the video files/folders to be at the root level on the storage device and that the SD card protocol required those files/folders to be inside of a "Private" folder. So it's possible that if one pulled the contents of the Private folder out and placed them at the root level of the SD card, things might work. You might need to delete the (now empty) Private folder. I'm not going to be home for another week so I have no way to check this. Can anyone try this?
|
Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
No, pulling things out of the Private folder doesn't help, nor does doing that and also deleting the Private folder. I tested this using a card in a card reader, not from an archive.
The problem is not that FCPX can't find the clips, it's that it can't read/import anything but the audio and a jpeg of the first frame of the video. Others need to try though but it doesn't change anything for me. |
