Sony HDR-SR11 & Final Cut Pro - Sequence Settings

To respond to a comment/question on the HDR-SR11 workflow post I wrote a while back, a reader asked me to post info on the sequence settings I use in ingest.

I don't use any "easy setup" files, but here's what I do for the sequence settings in editing:
One other thing to note; in the Preferences pane of the Log and Transfer window, here's the settings there:

Hope this helps, and thanks for reading!

ahh, yes. Those are the settings I eventually attempted using. I'm glad to see that it's not me doing something incorrect, but something else going on behind the scenes.

I know this because the recorded file plays perfectly on the SR11, as well as on my HDTV when connected via HDMI.

So I guess it's just an 'unknown'. However, I'm glad I'm not the ONLY person to see it:

Thanks again for your help!

I figured it out! After finding a post in the Apple Discussions boards, it turns out that having the Perian prefPane installed causes background problems with Quicktime decoding, which is what Final Cut Pro 6 is using for in-program movie display.

Uninstalling and removing the .prefPane worked like a charm!

Hi, I just got the SR11 AND FCP and after following your instructions I get stuck at the Log and Transfer box because my computer does not display the plugins for prores. can you help?

Thanks!

Hi Kelly & Tamra, thanks for coming by my blog. FCP, as long as it's a current version (6 and above should be ok) natively support AVCHD>ProRes422 transcoding without use of a plugin.

Are you using a current version of Final Cut?
