Can't get preview/logging window to open in Log and Transfer

Hello- Running FCP7 on Mac Duo Quad Core Nehalem, OS 10.6.
Hopefully really simple solution to this. Doing a Canon 5D workflow in FCP. So bring in via Log and Transfer. I've got the plug-in installed.
Up to this point it's been going smooth - open up log & transfer, select volume/files, everything's loaded in and up UNTIL tonight, the righthand side preview and logging windows have also opened up, and I've done my viewing and clip naming in there. But for some reason it's now opening up the just lefthand side volume browser and drag down transfer window, but NOT the righthand side. Any ideas?
Thanks, Nick.

Hi -
Did you 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.

Can't get Camera Raw widow to open between Photoshop and Bridge.

Okay, so I can't get the Camera Raw editing window to open between Photoshop and Bridge on my new computer. I used Migration Assist and synced up all files from my old computer, and the Camera Raw setting still works fine on my old Laptop. And even images that I edited/adjusted in Camera raw, they automatically pop up in Camera Raw on my new computer, but images that have not been openned in Camera Raw before, don't automaticlly open in Camera Raw editing window?
How do I fix this so that all images open through Camera Raw window before in Photoshop??

What kind of file format, raw or JPEG? If JPEG then you'll need to set your Camera Raw Preferences correctly to have JPEGs open in Camera Raw.

Efficient way get FCE4 Log and Transfer to read .mts files stored on drive?

Hi All
I've searched the FCE discussion forum and not found an answer verified by more than one user to this question: What is an efficient way to get FCE4 (via the Log and Transfer window) to see .mts files from an AVCHD camera stored on a drive (NOT via the camera -- directly from the drive)?
I am trying to plan the most space-efficient system possible for storing un-transcoded .mts files from a Panasonic AG-HMC151 on a harddrive so that I can easily ingest them into FCE4. I am shooting a long project and I want to be able to look at .mts files so that I can decide which ones to transcode to AIC for the edit.
Since FCE4 cannot see .mts files unless they have their metadata wrapper the question is really 'how do I most efficiently transfer .mts files from the camera to a storage harddrive with their metadata wrappers so that FCE4 can see them via the log and transfer window?'
Nick Holmes, in a reply in this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10423384&#10423384
gives 2 options: Use the Disk Utility to make a disk image of the whole SD card, or copy the whole contents of the card to a folder. He says he prefers the first option because it makes sure everything on the card is copied.
a) Have other FCE users done this successfully and been able to read the .mts files via Log and Transfer?
In a response to this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10257620&#10257620
wallybarthman gives a method for getting Log and Transfer to see .mts files that have been stored on a harddrive without their metadata wrappers by using Toast 9 or 10.
b) Have any other FCE4 users used this method? Does it work well?
c) Why is FCE4 unable to see .mts files without their metadata wrappers in the Log and Transfer window? Is it just a matter of writing a few lines of code?
d) Is there an archiving / library app. on the market that would allow one to file / name / tag many .mts clips and view them prior to transcoding into space-hungry AIC files in FCE?
Any/all help would be most gratefully received!

I have saved the complete file structure on DVD as a backup, but have not needed to open them yet. But I will add this. As I understand the options with Toast you are infact converting the video to AIC or something like it. I haven't looked into it myself, but I can't imagine the extra files are that large, but maybe there are significant, I don't know. The transcoded files are huge in comparison to the AVCHD file.
A new player on the scene for AVCHD is Clipwrap 2.0. As I understand this product. It rewraps the AVCHD into a wrapper the Quicktime can open and play. This is with the MTS files only, the rest of the file structure is not needed. The rewrap is much faster that the transcode to AIC. So you have the added benefit of being able to play the files as well as not storing the extra files. The 2.0 version (which is for AVCHD) was just recently released. I haven't tried it and don't personally know of anyone who has. You might want to try this, there is a trial version as I recall.

P2 Preview Log and Transfer problem

I am working on my first HD project -- Panasonic HDVCPRO50 720 24PN -- and "Long and Transfer" recognizes the files we have downloaded, but I get the message that preview is not supported for the format. Anyone know why?

Oh Gawd! Not another HD format

How can I get a new window to open in Front of the current window?

There seems to be a related setting for new Tabs, but not for new windows. I fail to see why many people would want to open a new window, but then not want to use it right away. It seems the default should be open the new one in front.
Thanks

Hi MichaelDMiller60, if the problem does not occur with Flash 10.3, then most likely the issue is the Protected Mode feature found in Flash 11.3 and later.

Log and Transfer bug - "RAD Ingest"????

I can not get the Log and Transfer window to appear. After several attempts it may appear but then says "RAD Ingest" in the top of window. It will not display the contents of a mounted P2 card, nor will the window close or anything in it function. I am forced to quit the application. Also Compressor will not initiate from FCP, nor will it work on it's own.
I have already dumped not only the prefs, but the entire studio applications, anything on my system related to FCPS and then re-installed. NO LUCK Still acts the same. Maybe there is a file I missed wen trashing prefs.
Any help greatly appreciated.

http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/8/942086#942086
Are you trying to import directly from the card? Try copying the contents of the card to a hard drive first...which is something you really should be doing. Get the footage off the card, onto a drive...and those are your masters. The import into FCP using Log and Transfer onto your media drives.

Updated Java (13.5) and can't get a Firefox window (mac, 10.6.8)

My MacBook pro suggested I update to the most recent version of Java. after doing so, I can't get a firefox window on opening firefox or on requesting a new window. If I click on a link I get a window.
what'sup?
New java is 13.5 Firefox is 3.6.18 Mac is 10.6.8

If you have access to an Apple Store, the Genius Bar should be able to manually install a version that works with your Operating System.
Be sure to make an appointment though.

Working with AVCHD: Log and Transfer FAQs
Log and Transfer was introduced to the product chain in Final Cut Express 4, and is the program's process for ingesting files in the AVCHD format utilizing MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video coding and either Dolby AC-3 or uncompressed linear PCM audio coding. The most frequently observed problems relating to the Log and Transfer process are generally quite easily addressed.
What should I know before attempting to ingest my footage?
The following facts regarding the Log and Transfer process were adapted from the [Apple Knowledge Base article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24840?viewlocale=en_US] on transferring AVCHD in Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 but still hold true for the current version of FCE:
AVCHD support is available only on Intel-based Macintosh computers.
AVCHD camcorders typically connect to computers via USB 2.0, not FireWire.
DVD-based AVCHD camcorders are not supported in Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
Standard definition video recorded with AVCHD camcorders cannot be accessed in the Log and Transfer window. SD and HD clips should not be mixed on the same HDD.
Preview of AVCHD video in the Log and Transfer window is limited to 1x forward playback. Scrubbing the playhead does not update the video in the Preview area until you stop scrubbing.
When you choose to transfer AVCHD audio in the Logging area, audio is automatically mixed down to stereo.
AVCHD footage is not ingested natively but is transcoded to the Apple Intermediate Codec.
Apple Intermediate Codec files are significantly larger than the original AVCHD files. FCE does not estimate the size of a transcoded AVCHD file before ingesting, so it is possible to exceed the available space on your capture disk during transfer. Before ingesting, keep in mind that the disk space required is about ten times greater than the size of the native AVCHD file.
Which specific formats can be ingested by Log and Transfer?
Only AVCHD footage can be ingested through the Log and Transfer process. Other formats and variants such as AVCHD Lite are not supported. All video should be recorded in a frame size of either 1440x1080 or 1920x1080 and a frame rate of 25 or 29.97 frames per second. Audio recorded on AVCHD camcorders is generally at a rate of 48kHz. If your camera shoots in a format that does not comply with one of these setups then it is most likely not supported by the application and is not guaranteed to work correctly.
Which Easy Setup preset should I select before ingesting my footage?
It is extremely important to select the preset that matches your media before you attempt to ingest via Log and Transfer. There is only one Easy Setup preset that matches the frame size and rate of your footage. If you intend to ingest AVCHD clips through Log and Transfer you will first need to select one of the following presets:
AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i50
AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60
AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60
If these four options do not appear under your Easy Setup list then you probably need to run Software Update and update to FCE 4.0.1. DO NOT cycle through the available presets until you find one that works - there is only one preset that matches your media and it should be evident which one to choose by the way it is named. Select the AVCHD preset that mentions your frame size and frame rate (i50 presets support both 50i and 25p frame rates; similarly, i60 presets support both 60i and 29.97p frame rates). If you do cycle through many options in the hope of selecting the correct one through guess-and-check you will probably have corrupted your preference file and need to [trash your preferences|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2611] before continuing.
Why don't my clips appear when I open the Log and Transfer window?
Make sure your camcorder records AVCHD in a format supported by FCE4. It should be connected to one of your computer's USB ports (never connect it to an external hard drive or other external device such as your keyboard or a USB hub), powered on, and set to video playback mode.
If the camcorder +does not+ mount on your Desktop your USB port or cable may be malfunctioning. Try plugging it in to another port or using a different USB cable to see if it makes a difference.
If the camcorder does mount on your Desktop but the clips do not appear in the Log and Transfer window you will need to point the program to the directory that contains your media.
First, click the Add Folder button in the upper left of the Log and Transfer window. The button looks like this:
Then, you will need to navigate to the root directory in which your media is stored. Most camcorders call this folder "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD" and it should be located at the very top level of the camcorder when mounted. If your camcorder records to a valid AVCHD directory structure then your clips should load after the Add Folder process is completed.
I would like to keep a working backup of my original clips so that I can delete them off the camcorder's internal memory. How should I do this?
There are two main ways to keep a backup of your clips. The first is to ingest every clip on your camcorder through the Log and Transfer process, and store the Apple Intermediate Codec files the application creates in an easily accessible place such as an external FireWire drive. The advantage of this method is that you have the ability to open back up old editing projects, reconnect the media as necessary, and keep going as if you'd never left. However, due to the large amount of space AIC takes up (usually somewhere in the vicinity of 41-50GB an hour when transcoded from AVCHD), this is not always feasible.
Another often preferable approach is to copy over the root directory in which your clips are stored (usually named "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD") from the camcorder to your computer or an external drive. As long as you maintain the original file structure, you will be able to ingest your clips again at a later date using the "Add Folder" process detailed above to navigate to their new location.
My clips appear, but when I attempt to ingest a red exclamation point appears and the window displays the message "Error: No Data"
This is one of the most common problems that users experience when trying to ingest their media through the Log and Transfer process. Luckily, it also has one of the easiest solutions.
In the Log and Transfer window, click on the gear icon in the top right and select "Preferences" in the contextual menu that appears.
Make sure the video is set to transcode to the Apple Intermediate Codec and the audio is set to Plain Stereo.
After doing so, hit OK and try to ingest again.
I am experiencing a problem that is not covered in this tip or the solutions here do not work.
The best thing to do at this point would be to trash your preferences and start a new topic in the [FCE Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936&start=0] with a detailed description of your problem.

First, click the Add Folder button in the upper left of the Log and Transfer window. The button looks like this:
Then, you will need to navigate to the root directory in which your media is stored. Most camcorders call this folder "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD" and it should be located at the very top level of the camcorder when mounted. If your camcorder records to a valid AVCHD directory structure then your clips should load after the Add Folder process is completed.
I would like to keep a working backup of my original clips so that I can delete them off the camcorder's internal memory. How should I do this?
There are two main ways to keep a backup of your clips. The first is to ingest every clip on your camcorder through the Log and Transfer process, and store the Apple Intermediate Codec files the application creates in an easily accessible place such as an external FireWire drive. The advantage of this method is that you have the ability to open back up old editing projects, reconnect the media as necessary, and keep going as if you'd never left. However, due to the large amount of space AIC takes up (usually somewhere in the vicinity of 41-50GB an hour when transcoded from AVCHD), this is not always feasible.
Another often preferable approach is to copy over the root directory in which your clips are stored (usually named "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD") from the camcorder to your computer or an external drive. As long as you maintain the original file structure, you will be able to ingest your clips again at a later date using the "Add Folder" process detailed above to navigate to their new location.
My clips appear, but when I attempt to ingest a red exclamation point appears and the window displays the message "Error: No Data"
This is one of the most common problems that users experience when trying to ingest their media through the Log and Transfer process. Luckily, it also has one of the easiest solutions.
In the Log and Transfer window, click on the gear icon in the top right and select "Preferences" in the contextual menu that appears.
Make sure the video is set to transcode to the Apple Intermediate Codec and the audio is set to Plain Stereo.
After doing so, hit OK and try to ingest again.
I am experiencing a problem that is not covered in this tip or the solutions here do not work.
The best thing to do at this point would be to trash your preferences and start a new topic in the [FCE Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936&start=0] with a detailed description of your problem.

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 .MOD, .MOI

Hi,
I have a Canon Legria FS19 which records onto SD Card. When I bring up the SD Card it shows lots of .MOD and .MOI files which are unreadable.
Beacuse iMovie recognises the camera, I have been using it to import the footage and then I export it as a DV Stream to edit into FCP.
But I feel this might have some loss in quality, so my question is: If I upgrade to FCP 6 to get the "Log and Transfer" feature, will it support my camera?
Thanks,

Thank for the help, I had look and the batch function is great! You can tell it to automatically join the clips in MPEG Streamclip!
Most of my work is professional but I brought this camera for home movies because of it's light weight, I think that FCP should support everything.
One last question, is there a guide online showing you how to achieve best compression results with this type of footage?
Thanks very much

Log and Transfer Issue with JVC Camera.

Hello all,
I am using JVC GY-HM100U and Final Cut Studio (FCP7.0.3).
I have installed JVC_Plugin1_0_3.dmg as Apple recommended.
However, when I connect SD card to FCP, I can not still use 'log and transfer' of FCP.
Do you know what's the issue is?
Thank you.

The warning sign pops-up as below.
"CLIP" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
I am recording in Kingstone 16GB Class 10 SD card.-I have formatted before using it.
I am shooting with 1080 60i.

Log and Transfer - loss of preview window

I have managed to make the preview pane in the Log and Transfer window disappear and I can't work out how to get it back.
To expand the left hand side of the L and T window I dragged the right-hand side divider towards the preview pane. As the divider started to overlap the preview area the pane disappeared never to return even though I have tried dragging the divider back again from the right side of the L and T window.
Does anyone know how to get it back?
Thank you.
John

Thank you.
I know what you mean and can see the Logging and Import Settings boxes you describe in FCP running on a different machine but on my Macbook the whole right hand side of the L&T window has gone, including all the logging data entry places below the preview area.
If you wanted to mimic this try dragging to the right the divider between the list of clips on the L&T window's left side and the logging area on the right. You will see the preview window and logging area disappear before you've dragged very far. If you let go of the mouse button at this point they seem to disappear for good, or at least as far as I can tell. I don't recommend letting go though as I can't find any handle to grab so I can't find or drag the divider back to the left to reinstate them.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.
