Thanks.”

Q2 – “I literally just bought my Sony FS100 today, and shot a quick test using quick motion. I set to 4 fps, and output format was 1080 60p. When I attempted to import the FS100 footages to Final Cur Express for editing on Mac Mountain Lion 10.8, it gave me an error (unspecified, just a red exclamation point). FCE can’t import 60p? was that the issue?”

Q3 – “We recently purchased a Sony NEX-FS100. Great camera…

I’ve spent the past few hours trying to find the best workflow to get the footage into Final Cut. The bad news is that I haven’t found much. Should I just jump ship and migrate to Premiere Pro now, or is there a good way to transcode this footage to a format that Final Cut will work with? I tried mpeg stream clip, but it doesn’t seem to recognize the source footage. I also tried Final Cut’s log and transfer, but couldn’t get that to work either. Does anyone have any advice for me?”

Q4 – “We’re looking into getting a Sony NEX FS100 and I’m wondering if anyone has any experience working with the AVCHD codec shot with the FS100 and Final Cut Express? Seen some posts that suggest the workflow is transfer AVCHD to AIC MOV. Is this going to be more of a pain than it is worth? Any helpful suggestions are appreciated.”
