PDWF350 XDCAM ; MXF files to DVCPro HD?
by jason levy on Dec 7, 2007 at 2:01:57 pm

Now I am told that part of this (mostly DVCPro HD shoot) is to be shot on XDCAM with a PDWF350.

What would be the way to convert these MXF files to DVCPro HD ? At the moment I have post process in place that is all DVCPro HD.

thanks.

I'm currently dealing with some XDCam footage (*.mxf); the solution for me was to buy the codec from MainConcept. That gets it into Premiere; I write out needed sequences from there.
For other platforms, I'm not sure...

If you are using FCP 6 then you don't need to worry at all! Just drop the XDCam HD clips into the DVCProHD sequence and it works fine.

Yes, even on my lowly G5 Mac!

I just double checked this and it does work, you can even apply CC filter with no rendering!

Interesting. I wonder why that works?

...because it's meant to! FCP 6 has mixed codecs on the timeline as a feature
