Q: FCPX won't import XDCAM BPAV folders. Any suggestions?
An FCP 7 user, I'm testing FCP X for the first time. Installed the trial version, created & named an event, ready to go. Attempted to import XDCAM EX BPAV files first from an SDHC card via USB without success. Then attempted to bring in a BPAV folder I had on one of my internal hard drives from a previous project with the same result: "Some files cannot be imported into Final Cut Pro. Only supported files will be imported if your continue. The following files are not supported:" --and then it lists every file on the card.
The only thing I haven't tried is returning the card to the camera and attempting to transfer via a USB cable, but even if it worked, why shouldn't I be able to import files directly from the card?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
