Does it allow you to create subclips?
Can I see thumbnails? Can I playback clips? Does is show all the same metadata as XDCAM Transfer? Does it automatically gather all the clips from the various sub-folders within the BPAV folder on the card and put them all in one place (of my choosing) on the destination hard drive? Does it allow re-naming of clips during the transfer? Will the imported MP4 files show up and play within Adobe Bridge? Bridge compatibility is mandatory for my workflow. Will the imported MP4 files run within QuickTime player? I have to have two backups of everything I shoot, and it doesn't matter to me if one copy is an MP4 and one copy is an MOV. So, skipping XDCAM Transfer and having two MP4 backups would save me no space at all. Maybe a little importing time, but that doesn't matter to me.

Can you assign the drive where the mov's are stored as they're created? |

Yes in FCP. You use File Import. It's a plugin, not a program.
Yes Yes Yes Quote:
It's a plugin. Files are simply imported as if they were already MOV. Quote:
Yes. Plugin works in all Quicktime apps I've tested. I can import the MP4 in Compressor or Telestream Episode and use their TC Burn in feature to make Windows dubs of the clips without having to first wrap to MOV for example. Quote:

Craig,
Thanks for the info. It won't fit my workflow, but it looks like a good product for the right person.

Whenever I'm editing, Bridge is open and running. I can browse through the drives and preview clips, etc. from right inside Bridge (but it doesn't recognize MP4 files). When I find something I want to use in my project, I can just drag and drop the file(s) straight from Bridge and onto my timeline or into a bin. Without using Bridge, there is no good way to see what a file is before you import it into the FCP project. To answer your other question, yes, you can control exactly where MOVs are stored when you import them with XDCAM Transfer.

Deleting Clips with ClipBrowser is fine.
The problem with deleting clips from the computer itself is that apparently computers may place invisible files on the card which may result in an error message when using the card in the camera. |
