AVCHD import copies and archiving
When I import AVCHD cards or card images, FCP X seems to re-wrap the the original to a ".mov" file and put it in the event folder. This happens without copy to Event checked, create optimized checked, or create proxy checked. As far as FCP X is concerned, the re-wrapped clips it generated in the Event folder are the Originals and the the card image archive is non-existant - at least as far as I can tell.
What should I archive as the original media? Is there a way to reconnect/re-generate the re-wraped FCP X copy?
Thanks
