FCPX and XDCAM import Audio Issues

Apparently some combination of updates has broken FCPX's native XDCAM import for the old BPAV structure. Can anyone help? I have an old EX1 that I still use occasionally for run and gun shooting. Used it this morning and am now stuck, unable to get the audio channels to import. This has been an intermittent problem with XDCAM forever, but it had been happily solved for a while, and now its broken again.

I have Pro Video Formats 3.1 installed, FCPX 12.3, and OS 26.6.2

I'm going to try the Catalyst export route next, but is there some other better fix to get the native import working again? Any advice welcome. thanks!

I haven't used it in a while but I believe EditReady from Hedge can transcode XDCAM if the native importer is broken. There's a free demo to test it out.

If XDCAM import truly is broken, please report it to Apple. Final Cut Pro->Provide Final Cut Pro Feedback... or Feedback - Final Cut Pro - Apple
