FCE Log and Transfer with Canon Vixia HF11

I've recently upgraded FCE.  Before the upgrade I had no problems with log and transfer.  I have changed absolutely nothing on my camera or computer other than the upgrade.  Now when I try to log and transfer the files are in the window but I get a red icon that indicates they won't download.  Are there simple fixes here?  I don't understand most of the terminology used on these sites.  I just know that it worked before I upgraded and doesn't work now.  Thanks

Go to the Log and Trnasfer window and find the Settings icon (a small gear wheel).
Change the audio from Martix to Plain Stereo and try again.

  • Log and Transfer with Canon XF300's after 1.0.2 Firmware upgrade

  • Log and Transfer with Canon 5d mark iii footage on OS 10.5

    FCP is not recognizing my SCDH card in the Log and Transfer window
    and I'm wondering why this is.
    I am running OS 10.5 - and there were no additional EOS drivers available
    on Canon's website for my OS.
    I am shooting with the new 5D mark iii. When I first got the Rebel T2i a few years
    back, I had the same problem and installing the Canon driver worked to
    get the card to show up in the Log and Transfer window.
    Does anyone have tips for how to get my Log and Transfer window to recognize
    a card from the 5D mark iii?
    Thanks.

    Hi, guys.
    In my experience, the best native format is ProRes MOV while the 5D Mark III recorded file is H.264 MOV. So I have been using a H.264 to ProRes MOV Converter to help me change the 5D Mark III H.264 MOV files before importing to FCP on my iMac. I found the way from Google. The below is the link.

  • Log and transfer with Canon cameras

    Hello. Using Final Cut Pro 7 to edit my project.
    I've been importing footage successfully from my Canon 7D using the Log and Transfer plugin. 
    I tried to do the same with new footage from my Canon Powershot S100.  I receievd this error:
    "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    I transferred the files from camera --> external hard drive keeping the original file structure.  is there another way I should be importing footage from a non-EOS camera?
    Thanks!

    I'm not aware of any plugin that Canon has for the S100 but you may want to check on that. If they don't, it would be best to convert the footage to ProRes 422 prior to importing into an FCP project.

  • Log and Transfer with error when adding to queue

    I transfer video to Log and Capture from Canon Vixia HF S11 AVCHD fine in FCP 7.03. When I try to log the selected clips (Add Selection to Queue) they do appear in the window of logged clips but each with red circle with exclamation point, Unknown error. The effect is that the clips do not get logged to the Browser.
    I trashed FCP preferences without effect. This problem appeared now. Before, Log and transfer worked fine. I see only one similar issue in the forum with recommendation to be sure to have scratch disk set, which I do.

    connect the camera and go to applications:  utilities:  disk utility and see if the camera shows up.  I think it usually shows up as a drive called "untitled" although it may have some other name.  If it doesn't, it may be a problem with the camera or the cable.  You might try restarting the computer with the camera attached.  I've found that some cameras are a little tricky to connect and it's usually the way the controls on the camera are manipulated.  Once you get the camera to mount on your computer, copy the entire contents of the "drive" to your computer and then log and transfer, pointing to the containing folder.

  • Log and Transfer from Canon Legria HF M36

    Hello everyone,
    I write from Italy.
    I have a big problem. I can not successfully import video clips from my camcorder Canon Legria HF M36 into Final Cut Pro using Log and Transfer with any setting. If I get same clips in iMovie 09 I get clips into Apple Intermediate code, good. If I use the same clips in Final Cut Pro 7.0 video looks rough. I do not know what to do. Who can help me?
    Thank you very much
    Giovanni Losacco

    That camera is confusing me when I look it up on BandH. Is it HD or SD?
    It sends to SD card, yes? What format are you bringing it in as? I'd try Apple ProRes LT to start. See if that works.

  • Log and Transfer w/ Canon HF20  FCE

    I have the canon hf20 It worked perfect with imovie 09,
    I just bought Final Cut Express, I can't get it to log and transfer for the life of me. Is final Cut Express 4 and Canon HF20 compatible?
    How do you import video / log and transfer?
    I can't find the answer anywhere!

    I have a Canon HF S100 and am also running into the problem. It will bring my clips up but when I drag them over after setting up an in and out it says there is no data.

  • FCE log and transfer goes from avchd to prores which then requires rendering down to AIC -- what's with that??

    Someone gave me a Sony camera (HDR-CX160) to try to get some footage out of...
    Log and Transfer worked fine, but the resulting files in Capture Scratch are ProRes.  When I add them to the timeline, it requires rendering (Lengthy rendering), presumably to convert to AIC.
    How can I get Log and Tranfer to go straight to AIC??

    Do you have FCS or FCP-X installed on the same computer? Also, the HDR-CX160 is capable of shooting 60p which is not Log and Tansfer, or FCE compatible. You need to make sure the camera is recording 1080i60.
    Anyway, try this:
    Open Log and Transfer, and click on the gear in the upper/center portion of the pane to select preferences:
    When the preference open, navigate to AVCHD Plugin and choose Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Then try importing your files.

  • Must I "Log and Transfer" from Canon HG 10?

    I have a Canon HG 10 (which is an HDD camcorder) and I'm using a 2.2 ghz macbook pro with OS 10.5.6. I can open the camera's disk image on my desktop and copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and everything seems to be there. Question: can I simply navigate to the video clip folder and import the clips into FCE, or would it be more complicated?
    In the past, if I copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and then make a disk image out of it, imovie has treated the disk image like a camcorder (I haven't tried this yet with FCE), but I'd rather not have to make the AVCHD folder into a disk image-- doesn't seem like this should be necessary. Thanks

    I want to keep a duplicate of the camera's information, before it is imported into FCE. I can log and transfer from the camera, but I'd like to keep an exact duplicate of the video camera's disk information on another hard disk even after it has been deleted from the camera. Also, it seems to not take nearly as long to open the camera's disk image and copy the files than it takes to log and transfer into FCE, from the camera, so apparently I don't have to keep the camera connected to the computer as long as long as I can retrieve the files from the copy later.

  • FCE log and transfer Q

    Hey,
    So I was taking some video shots out on the boat with my Panasonic TS1 recording if AVCHD format (.mts). When I plugged the camera into my comp and used the log and transfer in FCE the videos ended up way sped up, like maybe 2X speed. When I view the .mts files the video is normal speed. Why is it doing this and how can I make it normal? I want the transfered videos to be the right speed before editing because I use the .mov files to view/send to people.
    Also does this process give the videos the best possible quality or can I change a setting to boost quality?
    Finally, should I be going about this another way with Toast or something, and what settings would be ideal?
    Thanks a lot,
    Alex

    Your still camera is using AVCHD Lite which is not an FCE standard at this point.See the link below:

  • Log and Transfer Issues - Canon HF10

    I have just recently acquired a Canon HF10 video camera and have had success getting some of the video to my Mac via log and transfer, however when the video files seem to be much longer than a few minutes the process fails. The status bar while it's transferring makes it all the way to 100%, but the file itself never moves up to the browser. When I click the file in the log and transfer window after the status bar has stopped moving I get a red exclamation mark with unknown error. Any help on this will greatly be appreciated.

    I believe I have figured out what the issue is. I was using an old 250Gb external as my scratch drive. Well - this drive is in FAT format and I just discovered that the FAT drives are limited to 4GB limit, hence the reason I couldn't transfer my larger files. I'm planning on reformatting this drive to Journaled OSX and I should be cool.

  • [Help Request] Log and Transfer with Sony HDR-SR10

    Hello Everyone,
    I am very new to Final Cut Express and I am trying to import the clips from my camera (Sony HDR-SR10) to Final Cut. Here are the settings that I have for FCE and the camera:
    *Easy Setup*
    Format: Apple Intermediate Codec
    Rate: (all rates)
    Use: AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60
    +settings found in this thread (http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9162394)+
    *Camera Settings*
    HD FH (AVC HD 16M (FH)
    Then I mount the camera on the desktop. Then File > Log and Transfer. However, no clips appear in the viewer. I have tried adding a folder to the Log and Transfer window, but no clips show up. I have about 30gb of footage on my camera, so it's not like the camera is blank or something.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Jon

    Jonathan,
    In addition to Tom's advice...
    I have an SR-11 which I believe is nearly identical to your's. Do you have any SD video on your camera? If you do you may have to erase these clips. When I first started using FCE, I had to get rid of any SD footage I had before FCE would display my HD clips in the Log and Transfer window. Fortunately I only had a couple of test clips in SD, so erasing them wasn't a big deal. I don't know why this happens, but since I only shoot in HD mode I never looked into in further.
    Additionally insure your playback mode is set for HD and not SD (I don't have my camera with me right now, but if I remember correctly there is a selection in one of the menus for this).
    Hope this helps a bit.

  • Log and Transfer from Canon HFs100

    I have connected my Canon HFS100 via usb cable to my mac and am able to use log and transfer to import/convert most of the clips. The problem I have is that it will not convert about 10% of the clips for some reason.
    I am able to view and play the clips that are not able to be converted in the player in the log and transfer window, but when I add them to the queued section to convert them it tries to convert them and then fails. I get the Red Stop sign with exclamation point.
    All video was shot one after another and nothing different was done.

    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    Note: For FCP 7 the file will be called "Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs", obviously.
    When you have a stable set of preference files, download [Preference Manager|http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm] to back them up. I

  • Log and Transfer Problems. Vixia HF10

    If you have used this camera before. Yes the format is weird. Now I recently purchased Final Cut. And when I try to use Log and Transfer...It won't transfer. Like My Easy Setup is set to HD Apple Intermediate 1080i60.
    But when I drag the video. It gives me a red exclamation. It's connected by a usb. But it does not have a firewire cable.
    How do I get my Final Cut to transfer. It doesn't even start to transfer. It just shows the processing icon. and Then it goes to the red exclamation

    Hi -
    Verify that you are using FCE 4.0.1.
    Connect the camera via the USB cable.
    Open the Log and Transfer window.
    Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefs.jpg!
    Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
    When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefsToPlainStereo.jpg!
    Now try connecting the camera and see if you can import your files via Log and Transfer.
    If there are clips on the camera memory that are recorded with different settings, this can cause problems. The clips need to be all HD clips.
    Hope this helps.

  • FCP Crash when opening log and transfer with some AVCHD footage on a card

    Hi,
    I'm using a freshly (re)installed version of FCP 7 on a brand new macbookpro loaded with 8gb ram and equipped with a small 2ghz Intel Core i7
    I get footage shot on Panasonic ag-hmr10 minicams coming on SD cards as AVCHD footage. Sometimes the files are quite big, 17gb of compressed footage.
    When I go to log and transfer, to convert the footage in apple prores, the l/t window opens, I see a preview of my footage, than the spinning beach ball of death shows up and FCP crashes every time. I've tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the software. Still, it keeps crashing. Now the same file on a different computer equipped with FCP will be processed, slowly but surely.
    Now I know I can work around this problem by going to toast as an encoder, but I want to fix this issue so I can operate from FCP. I've seen this problem posted before but never found any good solution.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried setting the L&T AVCHD audio conversion prefs to plain stereo?
    Open the L&T window.
    Click on the gear icon towards the upper center of the frame.
    Select "Plain Stereo" For the AVCHD plugin.
