Are you referring to 'XDCAM Transfer'? If so, I agree with you. High Sierra has pretty much 'broken' it. These days, I tend to capture directly through FCP X itself (EX1R footage). For what it's worth, I like to keep my FCP X libraries to as small a file size as possible. And I don't want to bloat them out by stuffing them full of XDCAM footage. So, for my workflow, I set up a temporary Library which I usually call 'Capture', then import the footage into FCP X. FCP X will then put QuickTime wrappers on the footage as it imports. I close that Capture Library in FCP X, then locate it in the Finder. I right-click on it and select 'Show Package Contents'. I then find these newly-created movie files and drag them out to a different location outside of that Library. Then I trash that (now empty) Capture Library. It takes about 10 seconds and I found it to be a much quicker workflow than using the old XDCAM Transfer. But, to each their own. Apologies if I've misunderstood what you were saying or asking for. In that case, I'm sure someone else will chime in. |
