< Blog HomePossible solution to Color 1.0.3 XDCAM issues
As
reported earlier, the new Color 1.0.3 patch cannot seem to recognize XDCAM footage, reporting it as offline. Matt Bucy on the
Apple discussions board seems to have come up with a potential fix though. It would appear that the problem is with the XDCAM codec that Sony's capture utility uses, and the problem goes away if you re-encode the video with Apple's flavor of the codec.
Matt recommends going to
File > Media Manager and selecting
Copy referenced media. You could also export to a QuickTime or put the files through Compressor (the latter being the least recommended option due to recompression taking place).
Let me know how well this works for you. Hopefully Apple will fix this soon.
