[MacDV] Final Cut Pro X

[Derek Roff]

The last time I looked at Apple's website, the list of cameras compatible with Final Cut Pro X was very short.  Maybe five memory-card camcorders.  Yet many people report using FCP X successfully with newer cameras.  I've asked around about this contradiction, and the best answer that I can make out is that most people are pulling the memory cards out of the camcorders, and reading them into their computers with a card reader, either built in or external.  That seems like a good approach to me.  Perhaps it will work for your friend, although it might not, if Sony requires Windows-only software to read the cards for his camcorder.  

Good luck,
Derek


> I have a friend who can't import movies from his new Sony NEX-VG10  HD camcorder into his Mac Pro  which has Lion 10.7.1  and Final Cut Pro X installed. He has also tried Image Capture (Version 6.1) (440), but to no avail.    His software is up to date.
