![]() My thought would be to import the clips into an external unmanaged library and let Transciva access them from there, or use something like EditReady to do the conversion as that shouldn’t have any problem letting you copy the path to the files inside the camera archive.īy the way, and everyone but may already have known this, the easiest way to do this in any application is to open the path in the Finder, then use the destination apps open dialog and drag the folder from the finder window into the app’s dialog window. Not a disadvantage but an advantage because it retains the camera card format. They are just Mac Package folders which you can get into quite easily and as you may have noticed, they mirror the folder structure of your camera card exactly. The important point in all of this is that Camera Archives are not proprietary to FCP X. You just have to find the correct folder for your XAVC-L camera card. If I paste that path into Catalyst Browse, it will open the STREAM folder and show me my video files. ![]() That makes the full path that I would paste into Catalyst Browse: /Users/rofrano/Movies/20150523-LimeRock-TransAm.fcarch/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM The hidden extension is “.fcarch” and the path to the AVCHD files inside of it is “/AVCHD/BDMV/STREAM”. Since it’s in my Movies folder the full path is “/Users/rofrano/Movies/20150523-LimeRock-TransAm”. Let me give you an example using an AVCHD Camera Archive that I have called 20150523-LimeRock-TransAm that’s in my Movies folder. Once you have the fully qualified folder name to the video files, then you would open Catalyst Browse and use the menu item File | Go to location… and paste that path into it and click OK and Catalyst Browse will open the folder and display the video files within. Then you want to right-click and select Copy to copy this folder name. Keep doing this until you are at the folder just above where the video files are. You may have to right-click on it and select Show Package Contents again and again to eventually get into the folder that holds the video. To get this path you need to go to the Finder and right-click on the Camera Archive and select Show Package Contents, then when the files get refreshed, you will see the root of the camera card. □Īll you need to do is tell Catalyst Browse the complete path to the folder inside the Camera Archive that contains the video files and it will happily open it and process your videos. It’s unfortunate that the Sony developers are not smart enough to realize this but now that you do it’s easy to get around. They are Mac OS X Package folders and really are just like any other folder except that they are treated like files under certain circumstances. Suggestions? Thoughts?”Ĭamera Archives are not proprietary to FCPX. “Sony Catalyst Browse to convert XAVC-L clips to MP4 to save space, but it doesn’t see the Camera Archives which are proprietary to FCPX.
