I am unable to import (or see) my footage in XDCAM Browser (V 2.1). I can play it in the camera, so I know the footage is there, BUT I cannot see it in the browser.

Is there something I am doing wrong?

My guess is that you don't have the UDF drivers installed.

I have imported this footage type before...the only difference is I am using the SxS 16 gig card instead of the XQD.....the only difference.

Sony UDF driver is installed....I checked the 'programs and features'

additional information:

I am transferring footage using the camera and a USB cable for the 422 HD footage. That is ok, I presume.

problem solved....I was unable to see the footage shot in the XD CAM browser UNTIL I shot one more clip then connected via USB and all the clips now show in the browser.
