I cannot log and transfer clips that are longer than 5 minutes.

Hello,
I am trying to log and transfer several clips from my Canon Vixia HF S11 camcorder. When I attempt to transfer a clip into Final Cut Express that is longer than 5 minutes, it stops right when it is about to finishe and says, "Unknown Error." Due to the volume of my HD footage, I am working on an external hard drive with ample space. Could this be the problem? Should I attempt to transfer these longer clips onto my MacBook hard drive? Thank you very much for you help.

Use Disk Utility (in your Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and reformat as Mac OS Extended. There are differing opinions regarding whether or not you should select journaling. With media drives, I tend not to. (This process will, of course, erase what's on the drive presently.)

Cannot log and transfer canon 5D mark3 into FCP

Cannot log and transfer canon 5D mark3 into FCP

Or use Compressor...or 5DtoRGB...or EditReady...lots of options.
Convert to ProRes 422...not HQ. HQ will only take up more space, with zero quality gain.
But yes...log and transfer does not support this camera. FCP was discontinued before it was released.

Log and Transfer Clips are in order from name, not actual time of recording

When I first installed my Final Cut Express HD and went to Log and Transfer, the clips were organized properly (#1 #2 #3 etc.), but one time I accidentally hit the "Name" column at the top, which then put all the clips in order by name (#1 #10 #11). This makes things a lot harder for me when I only need to select certain clips. I've tried re-installing the program, but to no avail. Can someone please help me get this back to the order in which the clips were first recorded?

I found out the problem. The controls do not work if the AVCHD footage is in SD. They do appear if footage is in HD.

I cannot log and transfer videos larger than 4 gb

I have final cut express 4.0.1, Macbook pro intel core duo 2 ghz, 2 gb ram, Canon HF100.
I saved my raw video onto a external drive, which is also my scratch disk. I have been able to log and transfer short videos fine. When I try to do this for longer videos, I get an exclamation point on my long and transfer window and my clip transfer is in idle.
I have noticed that when the long videos (over 5 min) are transferring, their sizes get bigger but then max out at 4 GB.
My audio is set to plain and I have the latest OS. I also changed my recording settings to match my playback settings = RT safe, video quality dynamic, frame rate dynamic.
Please help.

How is the external formatted?
It should be Mac OS Extended.
Most drives are pre-formatted to suit Windows FAT32, file sizes are restricted if so.

Log and Transfer - Clip Sorting Issue

Hello. I have been using an AVCHD camera for some time now, and when I would use the Log And Transfer the clips would show up in the order they were recorded. I accidentally pressed a tab at the top to sort a different way, and now I can't get back to how it was. See http://dcdl.info/20100212171440.png for a screenshot. I know it has to do with how the clips are automatically named.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Just a thought!
Right-click on the "Name" field and check "Date Created" in the drop-down list. If you now sort using the Date Created column, will this reorder the clips as you want them? If not, are there any other options in the list that might?

Log and transfer clip setting over clip #100 +

When I selected all clips on log and transfer, they stop at Clip #99. It could not transfer more than #100. I had to rename to a, b, c, etc. Is there any preferance settings to accept over #100? I want to keep them in order.

All cards start with #1? I don't see "#1" anywhere.
I see the clip names, like 0001MS, 0002Z8 and so on. And VOLUME NAME is the name of the card or name of the folder you put the card in. The second card MIGHT start again with 0001, but have another code, like "0001GU, 0002B2" and so on. Because that it the first one on that card. IF a shot spanned from one card to the next, the number scheme would continue, like you are seeing. 0057HW, 0058J9, something to that effect.
This is the way P2 names clips, and there is nothing you can do to change this. Import them, and then rename them...fine.
Are you saying that it can't go beyond shot 100? 0100YU, but no 0101IK? P2 can go to 999.

Missing Log and Transfer Clip Browsing window

Help!!!
I was using log and transfer to import videos. My daughter came along and clicked somewhere in the log and transfer window. Now all I see is the right handside pane of a particular clip. I lost the left hand side where I see the list of clips from my media. How do I get it back?
Thanks

Hi -
Did she accidentally swipe it to the side?
There is a pane size bar in the middle of the window, if that gets dragged to the right the preview window will be hidden:

Grab it with your cursor and pull it back to the center

Hope this helps.

Is it normal for a waveform graph to truncate arrays of values that are longer than others when displaying multiple waveforms on the same graph?

I am reading back values of several waveforms that were saved to disk using the write to spreadsheet vi. Some of the data sets are longer than others eg. 35 seconds vs 45 seconds. All have the same sample rate.
See the code segment below. If I select the larger files first then all the data will show. If I select a smaller file first the larger ones will be truncated to the size of the small file. I am using LV 7.0.

I needed to make some grammatical/ nomelclature changes, But, Could not edit the previous post.
so posting again
"Thats because you are inserting into an array of a predefined size.
For ex,
When you try inseting a 1D array 'A' of 50 elements as row 1 of a 2 D array of 40 elements(in row 0 ), only only the first 40 elements will get insetred into 2 D array. You lose the last 10 elements of array 'A'
To avoid this, I suggest you use XY graph( of course you have to create an x axis with the index of each element in the inserted array and plot on xy graph).
Any doubts, do get back"

Cannot log and transfer long udma card files

I have started to do some longer recordings on the sony z5 with udma cards that are log and transferring to final cut. Last week I had 1:07 minute file that could only transfer 58:00 minutes worth. I did another test today and recorded for 1:10 minutes and only 51 minutes transfered? The file size is 10gb and 9.57 gb for the other?

Well, this may not be the same for you, but I think I had a similar problem with my Canon FS200. It was a hassle, but I was able to get the footage. I bought an Apple Product, it was called something along the lines of Quicktime Converter Mpeg-2, it's an upgrade for final cut and it works automatically. But in addition to that, I downloaded a free software from the internet called Mpeg Streamclip. You then open the file with that software, and hit "Export to quicktime". That SHOULD work for you, it did for me.

Completed a project in iMovie which is 41 minutes long (2 GB) . When I attempt to create a iDVD disk(via clicking on share) ,I am advised that an error occurred because the project is too long. Have made other movies/created disks that are longer than 41

Have completed a project in project library that is 41 minutes long ( 2.1 GB ) . When I click share and attempt to create an iDVD disk , an error notice appears claiming the new project is too long. Have created other iMovie/DVD disks in the past which were longer than 41 minutes. What corrections do I need to make to ensure I can create a DVD disk for this 41 minute ( 2 GB ) project... I am using a 17 MacBook pro for this project.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

How to find the urls that are longer than 260 characters

Hi
I'm getting an error using Restore-SPSite thats most likely caused by URL's longer than 260 characters. How can I find out which URL's are too long? It's a huge site collection so it's not an option to search manually.

CANNOT LOG AND TRANSFER FILES FROM PANASONIC P2 CARD

I rented a Panasonic Ag-hpx170 to shoot footage for my son's high school today. After filling two p2 cards with video, I transferred the content to my hard drive (exactly as described in Tom Wolsky's book, and as coached by the video rental company). I have two folders on my drive from the two p2 files, but when I try to bring them into FInal Cut Express (4.0.1) , I get the message:
"HUNTER INTERVIEWS CARD 1" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
There's a whole day of footage in there, and I'm panicked that I've lost it (and that the next two days' shooting will be ruined, as well).
The footage was shot in 720x25. I set the "easy settings" on FCE to the Apple Intermediate codec format, using HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p25.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm starting to really worry I'm going to disappoint a lot of kids!

Well, this may not be the same for you, but I think I had a similar problem with my Canon FS200. It was a hassle, but I was able to get the footage.

Cannot reconnect to Canon HF11 in Log and Transfer window

I am using a Canon HF11 HD camcorder with FCEHD and was able to view, log and transfer clips into FCE without a problem. I saved the project on FCE but when I came back the first time, it told me that several clips were missing and could not reconnect to the media. When I came back a second time, now it will not recognize the camera in the log and transfer window. Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I was having the same issue with a Canon HF S100. What seem to work for me was connecting the camera AFTER I opened the Log and Transfer window. Read my complete description on this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9573812#9573812.

Spanned Clip will not log and transfer

The editor:
Mac Pro 10.4.11
FCP 6.0.2.
Quicktime Version 7.4.1 (14)
30 minutes of video shot to a P2 card on an HVX200 is unable to log and transfer. Plays fine in the browser and on camera.
Workflow tried:
Write protect P2 and connect HVX200 to Mac via firewire.
Set scratch disk, then log and transfer (clip says spanned).
Error (red caution sign, tried retry, same error).
Tried P2CMS to ingest footage on a firewire drive, then log and transfer, same error.
Any suggestions?

One word for ya: Raylight.
I had the same problem. I tried P2CMS, renaming, and any trick I could think of. Raylight to the rescue. It creates a "pointer" MOV file to the actual P2 media and then you simply import the Raylighted MOV files into FCP. No data loss, and way quicker than a P2 transfer.
Well worth the money.
