FS5 - Converting XAVC Files - Edit Ready or Catalyst Browse
Been using Catalyst Browse to convert files to Prores before editing in FCPX.
Any reason why so many recommend Edit Ready when Catalyst Browse is free? Is it just down to speed or are there other benefits? Thanks in advance! |

Hi still wondering if there's an advantage to Editready over the free sony transcoder.
Thanks in advance. |

You can also add LUTS. So you can make dailies and archive versions at the same time as a ProRes for editing. |

Just wondering why you use the Catalyst software instead of importing straight from the card into FCPX as it supports XAVC-L natively? Would be interested to know the benefits of this extra stage in the workflow process.
If you select Optimise Media on import in FCPX, I thought that transcoded the footage to Pro Res anyway? |

But I use EditReady in the field on my MBP with a couple external drives hooked up. That way I copy to 3 places at once and I can make a proxy file for the client on site if necessary. I never erase or alter a media care until there are at least 3 copies made. |

Thank you gentlemen for the replies. I have an older version of FCPX which won't import ... must update.
Editready looks like it has it's advantages as well. |
