Using the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software

To copy clips to the local disk of a computer, the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software must be used.

Install the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software on the supplied CD-ROM to your computer. Although the data regarding recorded materials are stored over multiple files and folders, you can easily handle the clips without considering such data and directory structure by using the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software.

Note

If you operate, e.g. copy the clips on the SxS memory card by using the Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Macintosh), the subsidiary data contained by the clips may not be maintained. To avoid such a problem, use the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software.

See page 16 for the operating requirements, and refer to the User’s Guide contained in the CD-ROM.

For support information on the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software, visit the web sites shown in “XDCAM EX web sites” on page 15 or on the cover page of the supplied CD-ROM.

Using a nonlinear editing system

For a nonlinear editing system, optional editing software that corresponds to the recording formats used with this camcorder is required. Store the clips to be edited on the HDD of your computer in advance, using the supplied XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software.

Some editing software may not operate properly. Be sure to confirm before use that it conforms to the recording formats used with this camcorder.

To use Final Cut Pro of Apple Inc.

It is necessary to convert the clips to files that can be edited with the Final Cut Pro, using XDCAM Transfer.
