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. <div><br></div><div>Good luck,</div><div>Derek<br><div><div><br></div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; font-family: Helvetica; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: -webkit-auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; font-size: medium; ">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.
