Canon 650D doesn't support FCP 7 log and transfer...
anyone know how to solve this problem? thanks alot

Download and install the latest version of the E-1 plugin from Canon’s website here:
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digita l_slr_cameras/eos_rebel_t4i#DriversAndSoftware
If this didn't work, follow this creativecow post to modify cameras.plist file; if there's still no go, follow this guide to either modify the .plist file or convert your footage to Apple ProRes, the native editing format of Final Cut Pro.
Hope this helps

Canon HF11 not showing up in log and transfer window

I am using FC Studio 6.0.6 and a Canon HD USB camera. The camera does not show up in the log and transfer window. It shows up on the desktop, works with iMovie '09 but not FCP. If I try to select files from the camera they are greyed out. Strange thing is is that it works fine on my iMac just not my MBP. I have trashed the FCP and Quicktime preferences but this did not help. HELP please.

I also am wondering what you mean by "file structure"? Do you mean the AVCHD files or something in FCP?
If you look for a particular file on a drive, there's a file structure or "path" to get to it. For instance;
Macintosh HD > Users > Nick > Documents > FCP > Projects > My latest project.
If I don't follow that path, I won't get to the file I am looking for.
Similarly, Final Cut Pro is expecting to see a certain path to the actual video files on your camera's Flash drive. If a folder name along the way is missing or had it's name changed, the path is no longer valid.

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 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.
See this thread for a possible workarounds/solutions:

Not sure this will help you but might get you started in the right direction.

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.

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.

Problems importing through log and transfer

anybody know why i cant import canon elph 100HS video files through log and transfer in final cut pro 7?
thanks

Does Canon have a plugin for working with that camera and FCP like they do for their larger DSLRs? If so, download and install it and then try Log & Transfer again. If not, you'll need to convet the files from the camera using other apps like MPEG Streamclip or possibly ClipWrap.

Log and transfer MTS file and audio slip issues

I'm having 3 issues with a 30 minute project in FCE HD.
1. When I create clips in log and transfer, sometimes my footage chatters when I watch in in the viewer or place it on the timeline. It didn't chatter in camera, I checked, and it doesn't chatter in log and transfer. I can re-cut the clip in log and transfer but I'm trying to save time!
2. When creating a clip in log and transfer or just transferring a full clip, FCE trims the last 3 to 4 seconds off. I need these 3 to 4 seconds!
3. When trimming and razoring a 9 minute+ clip on the timeline, the audio begins to slip and continues to slip the longer I trim.
If anyone has answers to my three issues, please help. This project is frustrating in content and now it's frustrating in editing!
Thank you in advance for all your help!!

Sorry it has taken so long for me to get back to you. Again, thank you for taking the time to help me.
Your first question, these clips came from my Panasonic HMC 150 camera. I filmed at 24 fps. I downloaded the files from my SD card to my laptop, then use log and transfer to bring the clips into the project.
FCE only offers 25 fps or 29.97 fps. So, there is a discrepancy there. I'm not sure how to fix that when I want to stay with 24 fps. Yes, I can film at other frame rates, I just prefer 24 for what I generally create. Is there a plugin for more frame rate choices in FCE? Or is that just available in FCP?
Your second question, I always use insert. I only use overwrite for my title cards.
And finally, your third, I am aware of the destination tabs. I understand how they work. My issue with having so many tracks is that I am working on a laptop without a mouse and sometimes when I move a clip the timeline jumps and creates the extra tracks when I place the clip. I just need to be more careful when moving clips.
Now, as to my final issue and that is the trimming of the clips through log and transfer. FCE trims off the first and last couple of seconds and will not allow me to bring them into the project. Is this a setting problem or just inherent of FCE?
I look forward to hearing from you!

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.
