Importing Sony PMW EX1 footage into FCPX
I just got a Sony PMW-EX1 (not the 1r). I'm not very familiar with this format and I'm having trouble getting my footage into FCPX. I imported a clip the way I thought it should be done and it simply showed up as a green clip.
Would someone familiar with this camera and FCPX help me get my footage ingested for use in FCPX.
General information:
Camera connected via usb and card can be seen in the browser.
I searched through the card until I found a file named pir80684_01.MP4
When I imported the file the clip is completely green. When I try to open the file in Quicktime I get this error.
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -12909.)
FCPX said to access the camera via camera import, and then create a camera archive. This was not possible for me as the camera did not show up in the camera import section.
