C300 fcp 7 log and transfer

hi. i have a folder structure and i am trying to import on my hard drive via log and transfer. i don't have the original card. I downloaded both the xf utility and the xf transfer. i am on 10.8.6. Each time i am getting the unsupported media error. The folder reads : "AA39" with the contents"AA0399.CIF
AA0399.THM
AA0399.XML
AA039901.MXF
AA039901.SIF
all my codecs are up to date. any ideas. thanks.

That's not the proper card structure. It needs to look like this. if it doesn't, then you don't have the proper card structure, and FCP will not import the footage. The FULL INTACT card structure is needed in order for FCP to Log and Transfer the footage.

FCP Log and Transfer Crashes on new imac

Hey Guys,
I just purchased a new intel imac. I'm running FCP 6.0.6. Every time i try to open log and transfer it immediately crashes Final Cut. i already tried deleting and reinstalling FCP with no luck. I read some of the forums and tried to disable perian, no luck. it constantly crashes every time i try to open log and transfer. is there anything i can do to fix this issue? please help!

You need to use FCS Remover to completely uninstall FCS. You should never use Migration Assistant with any pro apps that call on system resources; actually you probably shouldn't use it for anything except docs and email. You will need to completely reinstall FCS from the discs.

Cursor jumping to end of clip in FCP log and transfer

I'm using AVCHD footage from a Sony hxr-nx5u camera. I copied the clips to a hard drive and am now using log and transfer to get the clips into FCP. My problem is that on some of the longer clips (pieces over about 10 min) the cursor start to jump or snap to the end.
Example, through the first part of the clip I can drag the viewing cursor back and forth along the clip's timeline. When I let go, it stays there. If I do the same thing in the second half or later of the clip, when I let go the cursor jumps to the end of the entire clip every time. I can't log or mark in and out points for the second half of the clip unless I just let it play though. (If I do let it play through, I still can't go back and adjust it)
I'm using Final Cut 7 and think it's fully updated.
Very frustrating to say the least. Can anyone provide any help on this?

Hi -
No first hand experience at this, but my understanding is there is currently a problem importing clips from that camera that are over 10-15 minutes.

RAD Ingest FCP Log and Transfer freeze

Greetings all, I am having problems using the Log and Transfer window in Final Cut Pro 6.0.5 on the IMAC system (Imac Intel Core 2 Duo 4 G 667 MHz Ram) I'm using- basically when I open it, at first it doesn't even open, then when I try opening it again, it shows up but has RAD Ingest written at the top, and the pane is frozen. It doesn't crash FCP but I can't close the window again. I don't have FXInstaller installed, so that's not the problem. All the P2 Media is on drives- its on a RAID mirror drive (I also read this could be a problem so I moved some of the media to another Firewire drive, and took the raid drive offline but it didn't make a difference).
I've reinstalled FCP twice now, the version I had was 6.0 and then I used software upgrade to upgrade it to 6.0.5. The OS I'm installing on is 10.5.6. On a side note, on my laptop, I've got OS 10.4.9 installed and FCP 6.0.5 and Log and Transfer works fine. I'm thinking it might be an OSX version problem because this has happened on another Mac laptop that has 10.5.6 on it. Any ideas on what it could be? I'm kind of at wits end....pulling my hair out kind of deal!
Thanks for any input!!

Hi David,
I have 4GB Ram installed, and the footage is P2 Cam footage that was copied on to the hard drives during the shoot. I transferred the P2 footage with Duel Adapter, not from the camera directly. Some of it is also AVCHD footage from mini HD cam. I've been using my laptop (Macbook Pro, OS 10.4.11, 2G Ram with FCP 6.0.5 installed) to bring in footage, and Log and Transfer works fine with the same footage but doesn't work with this iMac. I was hoping to stop using my laptop so I can do everything on just the iMac.

FCP Log and Transfer Bug(s)

FCP 7 doesn't seem to like XDCAM EX very well.
After installing the Sony plugin.
Any attempt to FF through footage produces the opposite - Reverse.
I am also currently unable to clear the Transfer browser of mounted clips/volumes.
Repairing permissions did nothing.
Are we looking at trashing FCP prefs ...?
Never had to do that with 7.0.3.

https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2491
Are you using the keyboard or the controls on the log and transfer window? If you're using the keyboard, do they perform properly with captured clips?

FCP "Log and Transfer" ignores some MTS files

Good afternoon!
FCP's "Log and Transfer" will only pick up about 50% of the MTS files recorded on my Canon HF-10. Toast 9 can see them all, but of course the QuickTime conversion puts them a bit out of sync.
I've just spend rather a lot of cash on FCS2 for the Log and Transfer option. Does anyone know why only some of my MTS files are showing up?
Many thanks!
DAN

My guess is because you are on a G5, not an Intel Mac
If those files are AVCHD, you need an Intel Mac and at least 6.0.5.

FCP Log and Transfer not Recognizing .MTS

This is weird. Two weeks ago I received a bunch of MTS files and brought them into FCP 6.0.6 with Log and Transfer. Today I received a bunch more and opened FCP to log and transfer the files and now FCP won't recognize them I haven't changed anything to my knowledge. Any more troubleshooting ideas? I have clipwrap and that works but I have an outdated version and I guess upgrades aren't free so I only have the free trial version. Anyways, log and transfer worked great and now this problem!?
Thanks in advance!
Tim

FCP can recognize MTS video files as long as you have the whole file structure.
AVCHD->BDAV->Stream and something like that.
If you indeed just have single MTS video file, you have to use a MTS Converting software.
Hope my info helps.

FCP Log and transfer doesn't read all my SD cards

Hello geniuses around the world!
I'm L-and-T-ing from SDHC cards with HD footage from a Panasonic HMC151 into the latest FCP.
Everything is working fine for 6 of my 8 SD cards... 2 of them won't transfer.
NONE of the cards will drag and drop straight to the L&T window, I've not been able to drop any files straight into it, but it will register from 6 of the SD cards fine. The other two wont go in whatever I try.
I've made new disk images to a hard drive and tried loading it from there, works fine for 6 of 8 cards.
I can view the info on the two "bad" cards fine in finder, and movist, but no way of getting it into FCP.
I'm trying to meet a deadline. Please help!
Thanks in advance.

I've no direct experience, just have questions with gut hunches...
Tried a disk image, right?
Same camera shot all the cards?
How large are the errant cards? Are they new? have you successfully used them in the past?
Do you have recovery software such as Data rescue II?
Seems to me it's likely not software, but a bad recording on a card somehow. Ugh. I'm just guessing however. I hope I'm wrong.
I'll sos this around.
Welcome to the forum, by the way.
Is there software you need to install to mount those cards in FCP?

Can FCP log and transfer footage from the Panasonic full HD 1080p camcorder

Hi, my subject heading says it all. But I have read a review of the current consumer HD camcorders from Panasonic that says they have their own codec, and that it cannot be edited on any software but their own, which is not available in a Mac version... the review was a few months old, though, so hopefully Apple have now put in place updates so that we can ingest footage from this camera...
Does anyone know about this? If not, any idea where I can find out?
Thanks very much for any light on this situation!

Sorry if you didn't know about this, but the review says that when recording at 1080/50p Panasonic uses a proprietory codec... I assumed that would be any model they produce that records at 50p.
The review of the Panasonic HDC-TM700 states "The camcorder uses traditional AVCHD compression for every shooting mode other than the 1080/50p setting. (my emphasis)<
If the reviewer doesn't know, how would we? We're FCP geeks, not universal camera knowledge base wonks.
Research the codec specifically and the camera model you are likely to find some kind of hack or workaround. I have two Panasonic hdx170s and we have absolutely no issues bringing in full 1080 from the P2 cards but most of our stuff is shot 720.

FCP 7 crashes in log and transfer (NSMallocException)

FCP 7 crashes about 50 minutes or so into log and trasfering my AVCHD footage. It throws a "NSMallocException" error as follows:
Application Specific Information:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSMallocException', reason: '*** -[NSConcreteMutableData appendBytes:length:]: unable to allocate memory for length (73874)'
*** Call stack at first throw:
Is there any way around this painful problem
Or are there alternative ways of transfering AVCHD clips into pro res without using FCP log and transfer?

The capture scratch is to an external Raid with about 2TB free.
Clip2Wrap2 looks great, I'll give it a try. My main concern is that it might be slower than FCP. I've got two weeks of filming to do, with 6 programs a day. I'm trying to the footage copied to the computer, then have it transfering into final cut while the next section is being filmed. So it needs to transfer fairly quickly. I've tried a few other AVCHD converters, but they're painfully slow.

Log and Transfer Window unable to access all the files that were stored a P2 card

I have a 64gb P2 card that was filled to capacity (63.09gb) on a recent shoot with a Panasonic HPX170 camcorder. An addlitional 16gb card was in the second slot.
I transferred the files from the 64gb P2 card to my iMac as usual, and did not see any files to transfer on the second card. When accessing those files in FCP 6.0 I only see part of the files with the last one listed as "incomplete". Four files that I see in the P2 card transfer folder do not show up in the Log and Transfer. The LASTTEXT Clip file was transferred with a 3:07pm time, the inaccessible files end with a 3:06pm time.
I have the original 64gb P2 card in tact so I re-transferred all contents to my computer and into a new folder. When I opened a new project to see if I could access all the files, only the files I previously was able to access came up.
Have I created a FCP Log and Transfer and just need to reset something in FCP? Is there a way to recover the data/restore a path to the data via FCP so I can access all the files or is that a Panasonic issue?

Oy, If it's the second or first half of a spanned clip that's missing, FCP will not import, and the camera cannot repair. There is nothing to repair, according to the camera. Files are just missing.
There are third party MXF software options that allow FCP to import the P2 files natively, without converting to QT. I wonder if they will see the MXF files, or if they too need the complete file to do so. I think most have demos.
Calibrated Softare has MXF import:

Then there's MXF4Mac:

And Raylight.

When i log and transfer AVCHD the Clips transfer with blackouts

I shoot on an AF100. FCP log and transfer (prores 422) consistently works well for me but randomly a few clips will convert fully, but have 90% of the clip blacked out.
The clips will show up in my capture scratch, in my assets bin, but when i scrub them on the preview monitor after the first 20 seconds or so, it turns black?? Although the clip is it's proper length there is no sound and only black. But the clip previews in full in L&T?
Any ideas?!

Are you continuing to work in FCP or another app whilst Log and Transfer is importing? If so, try reimporting one of those clips that has not come in properly, but this time once you start the import then leave the Mac alone to complete the process. See if the newly imported clip(s) are ok.

Deinterlace to ProRes on log and transfer

I've just got a Panasonic TM10 1080i 25 camera for sports training. My plan is to slow down footage using FCP.
Quality doesn't have to be broadcast (ProRes proxy or AIC) but I do want to deinterlace the material and I don't see any option for this in the Log and Transfer window. Just basic options under 'preferences' to pick the codec.
I know I can use Toast 10 to deinterlace and transcode at the same time but surely it must be possible to stay within FCP Log and Transfer and achieve deinterlaced ProRes proxy files to edit.
Any advice would be great.

You don't need to deinterlace everything if you only want the ability to freeze on a single frame. Just make a still of that frame, and then deinterlace THAT in the timeline. It would save you a lot of time, and would preserve the original footage. You will lose detail and clarity when you deinterlace.
If you're not scaling your footage down (like HD-SD) then deinterlacing will not make your footage look better and, in most cases, will make it look worse.

Will upgrading GPU help log and transfer of 7D footage to ProRes

I have a 1.1 MacPro with 2.6 quad and ATI X1800.. Will upgrading my GPU to a ati 4870 5770 help with my log and trasnfer speeds..
Does Compressor or FCP use GPU during transcodes or log and transfers for either encode or decode?

Will upgrading my GPU to a ati 4870 5770 help with my log and trasnfer speeds..
No. Only processor speed.
Does Compressor or FCP use GPU during transcodes or log and transfers for either encode or decode?
No. Only Motion and Color, and a few plugins (FXPlug) in FCP utilize the GPU. Compressor, FCP log and transfer...that's processor power.

Unknown Error when I Logging and Transfer P2 Card files in FCP 6.0.6

I have been trying for the past two week to Log and Transfer P2 files to my external hardrive using FCP 6.0.6 unsuccessfully.
Originally I tried to Log and Transfer directly from the Panasonic HPX-170 in between my shooting. The first time it was a success but from then on I always get the same Unknown Error when attempting to transfer. When I encountered the Unknown Error during the second transfer I went on to create folders with the P2 contents on my external Hard Drive.
When I drag any of the P2 folder content on the Log and Transfer window I can see all the clips. I can successfully transfer small B-roll clips I have but any big size file (all my interviews) return an Unknown Error symbol at the end of the transfer. I believe this is probably why I didn't encounter any issues during my first time.
I tried deleting the preferences in FCP and then Logging and Transfer and it works if the systems settings are set for the Mac Pro but not for the external HD. The problem is I don't have enough space on my Mac. I have cleared 45GB of space but my P2 files total 54GB. I tried the same process with a Mac Power Book with FCP 5.1.4 and again in encounter the same problem.
The external HD is a 1TB Western Digital that I have used before with FCP for editing but never before with P2 files. Its in good working order and has 79GB free space remaining. Both the camera and the P2 cards (16GB and 4GB) are also performing as expected.
I would appreciate any suggestions.

#36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.
