ARTIFACTS AFTER LOG AND TRANSFER! please help!

i was given a p2 card to log and transfer. after my first attempt to log and transfer, the sound was way out of sync and the video was strobing. then i deselected the option to remove advanced pulldown and drop frames from the settings preferences. i then log and transfered again and this seemed to fix the initial problems. however, now my clips have artifacts every few seconds that look like little patches of random colors. what are these and how can i fix them. any help is greatly appreciated. thanx.

In the L&T window...play the footage. Can you see them there? If you don't have P2CMS from Panasonic, download it and use it to view the footage. See if this break up is on the original footage.
I have seen this, but it appeared on the master footage.

Crashing after Log and Transfer

I am experiencing a FCP crash after using Log and Transfer to import P2 files. The material is on an external FW800 drive. I go to Add Custom Path in the Log and Transfer dialog box, point the software to the CONTENTS folder of each captured P2 card, the list populates with the clips, I drag the files into the que, and they import as usual. All is well and good until I X out of Log and Transfer, and when I do that, FCP crashes. I have not experienced this when capturing directly from a camera. This has happened over and over since beginning this project, and we are still yet to get all the material into the machine for editing.
Also, in case it is pertinent, I am using a MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Core i7 machine with 8GB RAM.
Any ideas or has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance!

First thing I'd try is trashing your preferences. Google preference manager from digital rebellion. It's a free download and in invaluable. It's so cool you'll WANT to pay for it. It allows you to store a good set of preferences, trash them when they get funky and then restore the good set, including all the cool stuff you created.
ANYWAY, I'm in the habit of saving every which way from Tuesday after something interesting has happened, like a capture or L&T. I know that's not a solution, but a best practice. hopefully a pref trash will set you right.

Trying to delete original files on card after Log and Transfer in FC 7

Log and transfer is working great. But how do I delete the original files on my 32 gb class 6 card? Can't just select and hit delete. In fact theres a typo in the pop up box, "Warning, The selected media cannot deleted". They forgot the "be". Weird.

Hi,
as you have seen already, you can't delete those files using the L&T menu; however you can delete those files either from within the camera's menu or accessing the card directly from the OSX.
Regards,
Armando.

Lost calendar data after update and sync please help!!!

Last night I updated iphone via itunes with latest upgrade....and during or after which information an on my calender has been removed...it only has reaccuring events....all other events are GONE!!
Outlook is not set up on this computer as it is a work laptop and I didn't want to set up with home emails.
I have read a few discussions and looked at the support info on apple, no luck...
I have tried reseting sync history but that didn't recover the info.
I NEED HELP PLEASE!! in the very basic of forms...
Will i need to set up outlook?? Is that where all my info is???

In iTunes your iPhone shows up in the left column. Right click your iPhone and chose "restore from backup". This will put your phone back to when you plugged it in to update.

After Log and transfer, does FCE creat a copy of the clips on my camcorder?

Where does it save them to if yes?
Thanks for any input

Welcome to the world of digital video. Yes, it does consume large amounts of disk space, and you should expect to purchase one or more external FireWire hard drives if you get into this in a meaningful way..
When you log & transfer your video with FCE, the video is transcoded to Apple Intermediate Codec for editing. Depending on how you shoot (720 vs 1080) your video will take 25GB-50GB per hour of video. Here's more info about AIC -> About HDV and the Apple Intermediate Codec.

Date of video recording missing after "Log and Transfer"?

Hello, I am importing AVCHD video from Sony HDR-SR10. The clip item properties have not imported the dates when the video was recorded. It just has a date of Last Modified.
Is it hidden anywhere or can I add it to the file/clip?

Hi
OR - there is a Paper and Clip solution - Tedious but working.
(At least with old SD-video from miniDV tape Cameras)
A Double import/Capture is needed
a. via FireWire - the full quality video (without meta data)
b. analog out from Camera (set to show Date & Time) - to an A/D box and import
this
(alt way Camera to a VHS/VCR then back to or via Camera to Mac)
Now put High quality sequence on track 1 and analog copy on track 2
crop analog copy on track 2 to show Date & Time Only.

Hey, I have Final Cut Express 4.0.1 and a JVC everio camera, whenever i try to import my files to FCE via "Log and transfer", it just doesn't do anything, as if FCE doesn't know the camera is there, please help !

FCE 4.0.1 can only capture DV/HDV which is produced by cameras using Mini-DV TAPES and cameras shooting AVCHD which is a high definition format.
If your camera shoots standard definition on Memory Cards, DVDs or Hard Drives it will not work in FCE.
What is your camera's exact model name and number?

Log and transfer does not recognize footage. Please Help

When i open the log and transfer window in FCP on my macbook it no longer recognizes the files from the Contents folder of a P2 card or the RED ONE files from the folder on my hard drive. last week however, everything was working fine.
does this have something to do with the project settings or the RED plugins? any help is greatly appreciated. thanks.

Have you changed your set up or software, or computer in any manner since last week?
And did you trash your preferences and try that?

Help! Final Cut Express crashes on Log and Transfer

Hi,
I am using a Canon Vixia HFS20 (AVCHD) and a Mac Book Pro (running snow leopard) , with a 1 tb My Book as scratch disk.
I have upgraded the software.
In Easy Setup, I selected AVCHD 1920x1080i60, after checking the camera and seeing that it is recording with 60i.
Log and Transfer opens, but then final cut express immediately crashes.
Please advise! Thank you so much,
Anne

What happens if you remove the external drive and try a test capture to the MAC directly?
How is the external connected? eg. USB
Is the external formatted to MAC OS Extended?

I used to be able to download files from the Harddrive of my Sony Handycam, but now it won't let me import them while going through "log and transfer." I have tried to update my settings, but this doesn't seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated

Hard Drive: The Hard Drive is on my camera (Sony Handycam)
Just needed some info on what is going on with your particular system.
Knowing the exact camera model will also assist us.
If this camera is standard AVCHD you should be able to connect with USB to Mac with FCE open and use Log and Transfer without all the fiddling around converting etc.
What FCE does during ingest is convert files to AIC. (Apple Intermediate Codec)
FCE cannot read the individual files in the BDMV folder, that's why all the converting is required when you use that method.
BTW: regards formatting drives/cards/memory on cameras; it is wise to use the actual device to format rather than a computer. This is a prime cause of read/write goof ups with solid state media. This applies to still or video cameras.
Keeping the COMPLETE card/memory structure in tact is vital for successful transfers.

Need help with our "log and transfer" workflow...

All,
Again, it's our first tapeless project so please keep having patience with us.
What should the workflow be for our project?
I bring in the Firestore and dump raw files to a hard drive. Should I then transfer all footage to QT files? OR should my editor start looking at footage and carving it up as he transfers those files to QT?
Our issue is that we have a lot of footage coming in and the new tower is slow when transferring footage from raw files to QT. It's driving us crazy.
Aside from buying a more powerful tower, is there a way for us to review and log the footage and transfer at a real time pace (for example, is there a way to log the footage and do a transfer to QT files at the end of session?).
Thanks.

David, thanks for the questions.
Yes, it's FS-100. And yes, we are shooting on a HVX200.
The settings we were given by our editing guru create MXF files rather than QT. If so, we should dump onto a hard drive and then bring into FCP, correct?
Is there a way to log a number of clips and then transfer them en masse? Or do I have log and transfer them one at a time?
Our issue is that the computer grinds to a virtual halt while transferring.
Thanks again. We look forward to your thoughts.

LOG AND TRANSFER not working after upgrade ...?

Hi ..
I am running FCP 6.0.5
I am using Mac OSX 10.5.6
I've been using the 'log and transfer' window of FCP for the past few months without any trouble ... until today.
Every time i transfer the clips everything appears to go smoothly, but then when the 'transferred' clip is played back there is an odd 'jumping' or 'glitching' ... IE: the resulting footage is definitely NOT usable.
The only thing that i can think of that's changed is the fact that I upgraded the software last thursday and i probably hadn't transferred any footage since then. Is there an FCP conflict with the latest quicktime or Itunes upgrades?
I have tried re-transferring some clips from last week before the upgrade and the transfers now have the glitches.
I need this working as soon as possible! I have deadlines! Anyone who can help it would be greatly appreciated.

To cut unwanted parts off MTS files losslessly, try final mate for mac. That is the tool to help cut or trim MTS and still export MTS without any quality loss. Look through this blog to know how to make it done.

[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.
Marc

While using Log and Transfer, firewire cable got yanked. Help!?!

While in the middle of transferring clips from my camera into my fcp project, the firewire cable got yanked. After retoring the project and recconecting the media, Log and Transfer wont import the clips from the camera anymore. The clips play in the preview window fine, and I even saved the media to a new location and tried to Log and Transfer again but every time I just get a red stop sign with an exclamation point error, with no explanation. What good is an error sign first of all without any explanation Apple? I've also even tried starting a new project to start fresh, but FCP won't transfer the clips. I had this problem once before and it was a lack of hard disk space, but I have at least 65GB left on the Macbook, and about the same on the scratch disk.
Anyone know how to make it work? Thanks!

DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, always best to clone a backup before taking radical steps. You could also try booting to single user mode first (hold shift on start up) that can clear some cache issues up.
Just a wild thought - perhaps a large temp file was created during capture that was not deleted. You would probably want to show your hidden files (google can show you how, involves terminal), and look for a very large temp file on your drive, it would probably be in the same folder you were capturing to, but could also be at the root of your system drive. Their could be some other large temp files too, like a sleep file for instance.

you need to restore the phone on the computer to which it most recently synched. This will remove the passcode but you will lose any data between the last backup and the current time. Either that or sometime in the next 2 million minutes you remember your password.
