XDCAM EX Compressor Settings

Hi there -
Compressor does not seem to come with a setting for XDCAM EX 1080i60. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could download one from -- or how I could create my own. I am converting .mov footage shot on a DSLR and would not like to always have to render in my Final Cut timeline.

XDCAM EX would not be a particularly good choice for editing in FCP, particularly with a duration of any significance.
You'd be much better off transcoding to ProRes 422. FCP and ProRes are a match made in heaven... Okay, the match was made in Cupertino, California, but you get the idea.

The reason I am doing XDCAM EX is because that is what the majority of footage was shot in. I didn't want to have to convert everything if I didn't have to.

Best option would be to convert it to ProRes, and edit everything in a ProRes sequence. The XDCAM would have a green render, but play back fine. But, do what you want...we are only advising.
