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. 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.

  • Log and transfer footage from Panasonic GH1 into FCE

    I have already read the few threads discussing importing AVCHD video from the Panasonic GH1 camera into FCE. I was expecting that the 1080x24 (wrapped in 60i) would import OK but the 720x60p would not. However, so far, I have had both formats import using the log and transfer just fine. These have been only short clips roughly a minute or less in length but no sign of FCE crashing when importing the 60p footage.
    So, is this considered normal or has something in the most recent OSX updates fixed this FCE capability?

    The program is usually able to ingest 24p and 60p footage fine, but upon exporting it will be conformed to the frame rate of your sequence. Since FCE doesn't support custom sequences all exported movies are either in 29.97fps or 25fps. Problems also sometimes arise where the program interprets your footage as 29.97fps instead of what it actually is, causing the audio to drift a bit as well.
    Better to stick to what the program supports: 50i/25p and 60i/30p. If you need the functionality of 24p or 60p you should upgrade to Final Cut Pro.

  • Log and transfer files from sd card?

    Is it possible to utilize log and transfer form the SD card shot on a Canon DSLR in FCP to transcode to ProRes 422?  Is there a plug in plug in?

    I downloaded the canon software and it works like a charm on the MacBook Pro but I seem to be having an installation issue with the plug in into FCP on the Power Mac G5 ... it doesn't show up as an option when in Preferences in the log and transfer window.  I am using a usb card reader and the card is mounting on the desktop and there are no photo images on the card ... Are there issues with the G5 - OSX 4.11- FCS 6.06 or an external usb sd card reader?

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Express Log and Transfer files not playing audio on another mac

    I recently purchased a new Mac Pro for video editing for work, and am having some issues with it. Previously i was working on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11, on Final Cut Express 4.
    I used Log & Transfer to get the AVCHD videos from my Canon HF 11 onto my mac, and had no issues. Where my problems started was when I moved my video files to my new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6. Now when I open those video files in either Quicktime or FCE, the VIDEO plays but _not the audio_. I thought maybe the video files were bad, but when I tried the original files on the new Mac, they still didn't work. I don't know if there's some codec that isn't on the new mac or if there's some other problem... I just know that my new amazing machine cannot play the files that my 3 year old one can. I'm not new to computers, but I'm not an Apple guru. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Well I can try trashing the files, but I can't log and transfer the files again, as it's months of footage that aren't on the camera anymore. But i did find something else out. The files that were recorded with the camera's built-in mic recording is fine and with sound, but the files that I used my wireless mic setup had no sound. I don't know why that is, because they worked fine on the MacBook Pro. I tried log and transferring a new clip on the Mac Pro wit;h footage using the wireless mic, and still no sound.

  • 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.

  • Log and Transfer File Naming

    When AVCHD files are imported with log and transfer, it designates a file name number sequence that includes the "#" sign both in the browser and on the external hard drive that it copies to. How can I eliminate this "#" sign and have it still assign a different number for each file?
    Thanks in advance to any and all help

    The clip number us assigned in the camera. You would have to manually remove the # mark in the log and transfer window before the shot was transcoded.

  • APIs for accessing the ESS log and output files from UCM

    Hi,
    As I understand, the output and log files of an ESS job will be uploaded to UCM.
    We have a requirement where in we are building a simple error handling framework, which gets triggered after a series of ESS jobs are run. In the error handling framework based on some processing logic we need to e-mail the error or log files to the users. I am not able to find any information related to retrieving the log and output files for and ESS job from UCM. Any inputs on this will be appreciated.
    Thanks for your help,
    Thiru

    For accessing content in UCM you can use the RIDC APIs or UCM Web Services. Note that the UCM also provides features for workflow etc. that could potentially be used for notifications refer to the developer guide for details. For UCM related questions you may want to use this forum instead

  • AVCHD log and transfer - Only from a camera?

    I am thinking about upgrading my camera to a AVCHD camera.  I saw on a post that you can only log and transfer AVCHD footage from the camera and not just the card attached via card reader.  Can someone shed some light on this.  I want to be able to shoot, transfer/backup onto an external HDD and then Log and Transfer from the drive.  I want to keep the camera busy out in the field and not tied up on my desk.
    Thanks community!

    When using card readers make sure it supports the larger capacity cards or at least the size card you are using.

  • 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.
    -Samantha

    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.)

  • Canon T2i log and transfer, file size HUGE

    Hi everyone. I need help understanding why my canon t2i files are so large in fcp 7. i've downloaded and modified the script for canon os plugin for tcp, so i can use the log and transfer feature. i have the preferences set to apple 422

    This is a question for the Final Cut Studio forum. Your clips are being transcoded to ProRes, which are much larger than the original H.264.

  • 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 Refuses to Detect AVCHD Card

    Hello all,
    So I'm trying to get some media off of an SDHC card written by a Panasonic AG-HMC150. I take out the card, plug the card into my new Mac Pro with Final Cut Pro vers. 6.0.5, and it mounts to my desktop. I then open Log and Transfer, and nothing gets detected. If I create a drop folder on my desktop and point the path to that, nothing gets detected. So I updated to 6.0.6 and still L&T won't detect the card.
    I thought it was the card, so I recreated this on another Mac Pro in the office, with only 6.0.4, and the L&T detected the card instantaneously.
    I then took the card home and tried again on my MacBook Pro running 6.0.5 and it detected the card instantly.
    So I'm a little amiss. I didn't set up this Mac Pro when it was installed, so I'm wondering if a setting was toggled somewhere that would prevent this Mac from detecting the card, or refusing the format. Anyone have any ideas?
    OS: My MacPro - 10.5.7
    Other MacPro - 10.5.4
    My MacBook Pro - 10.5.7

    Turn off wireless, or ethernet networking...or just wait 2-3 min...it will show up. For some reason with networking on, if there are a LOT of shared machines out there, L&T wants to scan all of them to. I think...that is my only explaination, because when I disable networking, L&T works instantly.

  • Log and transfer not recognizing my p2 cards

    I have been off my computer for a few weeks and I just went to upload data from my p2 cards and log and transfer will not recognize them. I copied the card contents with the text docs into folders on my desktop to do the transfer and the Log and Transfer still did not work.
    Last time I had problems with this was a quicktime update, I have updated since and it worked fine until now. does anyone have any experience with this problem or have I just messed something up? I am running FCP 6.0.4.

    Do you have FX Factory installed? Version 1 and 2...and the demos...interfere with import. Either remove it or update to 2.0.1 and that will fix it.
