XDCAM Workflow in Final Cut Pro

Although spanned clips may be imported in segments using XDCAM Transfer, the

recommended workflow is to first join these spanned clips together using XDCAM EX Clip

Browser.

• When viewed in the Log and Transfer window, the clip name is appended with

“(Spanned)” and multiple Volumes are listed, as below:

Preparing to Join a Spanned Clip

1–

Launch XDCAM EX Clip Browser.

2– Insert the first SxS Card into the card reader.

3– In the Tree View pane of an Explorer Window, select the SxS card. In the example

below, Card 1 has been selected, and a single spanned clip is displayed.

Copying Media from the First Card

1–

Unless a second window is already open (as in the default layout), open a new Clip

Browser Explorer Window by selecting File > New Explorer Window.

In this second or newly opened window, use the Tree View pane to navigate to the editing

system's media volume, and create a folder for the joined clips. In this example, a new

folder will be created in the folder “Documents”, and named “Joined Clips.”

5 – XDCAM EX
