While I cannot prove the following, my assumption is that the in-camera downscaled HD footage will be better than capturing 4K and downscaling in post. I for one will not be upgrading at all to 4K. I was only using that player to inspect transcoded files it won't be used in any of my workflows. UPDATE: divergent's support is fast! They haven't heard about this issue, but it may be an edge case involving just QT Player 7. So possible something may break down if using the EditReady files. Still, I haven't used any features that would rely upon the timecode track. That tells me the software (QTP 7) is attempting to read data about the timecode track and not succeeding.Īll footage plays back a-ok in Final Cut Pro X, QuickTime Player and QuickTime Player 7. And the garbled characters rapidly change over time. And EditReady's timecode track is displaying garbled characters in the 'TimeCode Start' and 'TimeCode Stop' column of the Properties window. EditReady produced a file with 6 total tracks: 4 sound, 1 video and 1 timecode. Browse and Prepare both produced files with 10 total tracks: 1 video, 8 sound, and 1 timecode. I then used QuickTime Player 7 to inspect the tracks. Transcoded to ProRes 422 in Catalyst Browse, Catalyst Prepare (trial) and EditReady (trial). My test: XAVC-L 50 Mbps clip shot with Sony's PXW-X70. I'm seeing a glitch in the transcoded time code track. I just submitted a support question to divergent media. We prefer preparing, transcoding and renaming the ProRes files BEORE importing into FCPX. EditReady : Transcoding Without The Hassle - divergent media We use EditReady to transcode AVCHD and XAVC-L directly to ProRes 422 in our workflow. While ClipWrap has been working good at re-wrapping, the next cam(s) will be FCP X friendly (among other requirements) or I won’t buy it (them). Thanks to all of Paul Anderegg’s testing and posts on the X70, not to mention the hype on 4K and my waiting, there are now more cam choices available. A Sony rep told me they should hopefully have something by fall (2014) so I waited. The plan last summer was to get the X70 when it came out but it wasn’t FCP X friendly. Could there be some corporate gamesmanship going on here? Patent trading? A camcorder that can export easily to FCP X will obviously benefit from increased sales. In contrast, Apple keeps making a profit and has a huge pile of cash. That’s one reason Panasonic spun off JVC and I think Sony has spun off some of their company too. On top of all this, there are undoubtably contract agreements between companies (Apple and Sony in this case) and lawyers have a reputation for “time is NOT of the essence.” Anybody know if there is any money changing hands between the companies?įor the past few years both the Panasonic and Sony corporations have been bleeding financially. It takes time for applications to be tested so they’re as trouble-free as possible and all it takes is one good “gotcha” to go viral. There may well be an update to FCP X so it seems likely that all hands will be working to make sure all the releases are trouble-free and there won’t be any hic-ups to mar the WWDC show or the releases that come afterward. They’ll be rolling out new versions of iOS, OS X and who knows what else. Apple’s Developer’s Conference (WWDC 2015) will be in a little over a month on June 8. Tagging onto what Paul said (post #77), there are probably other issues in the way of a quick fix for the importing problem.
