[FCP-L] Re: FCP 7 + XDCAM EX transfer on SL

I'm not sure where to elaborate unless you can explain the issue in more detail.
Basically you can't use firewire to transfer files.
USB or SxS card reader transfers files.

What way to go depends on Computer gear such as laptop with built in Express slot or willingness to buy Sony's SxS card reader or just use USB out of the camera to read the cards.

Use Sony ClipBrowser to copy the clips. Install SxS driver if using Express port in Laptop for copy.

Use Sony XDCAM Transfer to wrap to MOV.
You can also install Sony EX XDCAM Log & Transfer plugin for FCP to use instead of XDCAM Transfer.
