I can confirm that the Panasonic VaricamLT firmware 20.42 fixes the MXF issues that prevented AVC-Intra 100 footage from being recognized properly.
Prior to this update, the only 1080 footage that FCPX would see was the ProRes HQ files that the LT generates.
Still no support for the AVC-Intra LT codec, needed for off speed frames above 60p.
This update now allows the use of FCPX and older P2 cards to record 1080p footage in AVC-Intra and ingest properly. I have quickly tested E-Series and R series cards and both appear to work without issues.
Here is the full release note:
Ver 20.42-00-0.00
Addition of RAW output function is planned for the update in the future.
