New Install FCP 6.0.6 - No XDCAM 720P Easy Set Up???

I recently did a fresh install of FCP 6.0.6 on my MacBook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I also installed the Sony XDCAM Drivers for using Sony SxS XDCAM Media via Sony EX3.

For some reason when I go to Easy Setup in FCP menu there is no option to begin a project in 720P only the various frame rates for 1080P. What could be causing this and how do I get 720P project options?

Thanks!

Mac Pro 2x 2.8 Quad Core Intel Xenon, 8GB Memory 4 TB HDD, 30" Cinema Display, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Final Cut Pro Studio 6.0.6 - QuickTime Pro 7.6.2

This is the weirdest thing because on my Mac Pro with the same OSX and FCP I have the option in Easy Set Up to create a project in Sony XDCAM 720P or 1080.

Is there maybe a missing driver or something I could have missed?

Same thing here . . .

G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with FCP 6.0.6.

I did a clean reinstall today.
Fully updated everything with Software Update and lo!

I have no 720p Easy Setup - and Log & Transfer no longer recognises my BPAV files.

Any ideas anyone?

All working now!

I did the whole clean reinstall of OSX, imported my settings and files from my Time Machine backup and Log and Transfer was still not working.

(Sorry, I forgot to check whether the 720p Easy Setup was available).

I reinstalled the FCP Log and Transfer Plugin from Sony:
http://pro.sony.com/bbsc/ssr/micro-xdcamexsite/resource.downloads.bbsccms-assets -micro-xdcamex-downloads-LogTransferUtilityAppleFCP.shtml

Now Log and Transfer is working AND I have 720p Easy Setup.

Hope this is of help to someone.
