Re: Any word on XAVC-L plugin for FCP X?
 

Reading the XAVC files works fine for me via the SD card reader in the back of my iMac. I get the same directory configuration as David does. The files can be ingested directly into Final Cut Pro X and can be edited natively. The native files are much smaller than if I transcoded them into ProRes.

I just updated by bug report at Apple with the extra info. While the new Sony firmware has definitely fixed the issues, I think Apple could do something about working with read-only volumes.

Still, extremely pleased that I can finally import the footage natively. Of course I still work with ProRes (the optimized version of the clips).

Could not import with FCPX 10.2.1, just got empty Private folder view with spinning dial thing. Installed the XDCAM plug-in, now ingests and edits just like my X180 XAVC footage. Finally.
