Brining XDCAM HD footage into Final Cut Pro? at DVinfo.net

What is the best way (easiest/standard) to bring XDCAM HD footage into FCP. Do drag/drop files first or use log/capture window?

Never done this before, first time and I'm used to a tape workflow.

Sony makes XDCAM Transfer software for this.

There's a link to the software and instructions on that page.

Don't drag and drop MXF files anywhere. It will disturb file access data for the transfer software, and send it for a loop.

Thanks Nate, why didn't I think of that. Sorted.
