It won't, oddly enough. Just install the plugin, and FCP will see the card, and import it as XDCAM EX. Unfortunately there is no option in Log and Transfer, nor the Sony Clip Browser, to import the footage as ProRes. For that, you need to use the MEDIA MANAGER and the RECOMPRESS option.
But it is incorrect to think of XDCAM EX as an offline codec. it isn't. It is full quality. Just rendering and color correcting with ProRes yields slightly better results.

Thanks, Shane, this is a clear and useful tip. Unfortunately, L&T doesn't list EXCamEX as a transfer option. Can you suggest a workaround to take the "offline" EXCam footage to "online" ProRes once the edit is complete? My only guess is to export the sequence to Compressor and have it transcode there.
Thanks.
