Exclamation mark(orange) log and transfer

Equipment:
13" Mac book pro 2.4GHz (baseline 2010)
Lumix DMC-G2
Sandisk 32gb(mem card)
Problem:
I am trying to log and transfer my videos off the camera and onto my computer, the videos show up and I can preview them. The problem is once I try to Q them an exclamation mark appears in the progress section(orange colour). I am recording in 720p AVCHD
What do I do?
Thanks,Storm

#36 - One or More 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 camera 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 Log and Transfer 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 Log and Transfer Import window...in the 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 /!@#$%^&*()?.

  • Final Cut Log and Transfer Red Exclamation Mark Error on Longer Clips

    Hi Guys, I am getting the dreaded red exclamation error while importing from my Canon HF S100 into FCP 6.0.1 via Log and Transfer. I've had no problems with clips under 5 minutes they transfer over fine but clips longer than that will not transfer. Anyone else had this problem, any possible solutions?
    Thanks

    My scratch disk is an external WD drive. I never did format it.
    Is there a way for me to break the clip into 3 or 4 parts and then import it to FCP directly without log and transfer?
    Thanks.

  • Log and Transfer: Red exclamation points are attacking our project!

    We are shooting a documentary with a HVX and a Firestore in 720p/24p. Every shoot, we move the files from the Firestore to the hard drive. We then log and transfer off of the drive to a G-Raid scratch disk.
    Up until the other day, we were having no problems "logging and transferring". For some reason, we are now able to play and label the clip, but when we go to "add clip to queue" a red exclamation point keeps coming up.
    This is inclusive of old and new footage. I have tried to change the length of the file names as well as restart Final Cut as well as the drives.
    I know you guys are much smarter than we are, so we are looking forward to your wisdom.

  • 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 Problem - Red Exclamation Stop Sign

    I cannot log and transfer any of my files from a Panasonic HD camera P2 card.  I checked the other posts about this and tried most of the solutions.  The one thing I noticed is that my external hard drive (which is usb) is formatted for Windows NT but it has worked fine for several months until last week.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    Shane,
    I found one locally but wanted to see what you think.  It is a
    Western Digital My Book Studio LX 2 TB FireWire 800/USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive (Aluminum)
    Here's a link: http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-FireWire-External-Aluminum/dp/B003IT6XDI/r ef=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1307482250&sr=8-3
    Will this work?  It does spin at 7200rpms.

  • Final Cut Pro- Log and Transfer goes idle

    I just shot a project on P2 cards on the Panasonic HVX200 and now when I'm trying to download my files into Final Cut 6.0 via Log and Transfer it goes idle. I can play the clip in the viewer, but it won't download, the wheel turns for a second and an orange exclamation mark pops up. I've tried trashing the preferences and have double checked the Audio/Video set-up countless times. Does anybody have any advice?

    And your scratch disk? Formatted MacOSextended?
    Have you turned off "put hard disks to sleep when possible" in your energy saver preferences.

  • Canon HF20 - Issue w/ Log and Transfer in FCE

    I just bought Final Cut Express 4, How do you know if you have the most up to date version? How do you upgrade?
    The Video shows up, but it WILL NOT "log and transfer" I have tried to drag it down and drop it in and it acts like it will process it, but it will say 1 Clip Queued - Idle, The status then shows up as a Red Octagon with an exclamation mark.
    I will do anything for answers,
    the only way I can get video into fce so far is by uploading it to imovie then importing it in...
    ANY Help- PLEASE!!!

    Perian = I do not have that downloaded. Should I?
    The only way I could get video into FCE is through importing it in. When the video plays in the canvas, the video is huge and I only get a portion of the screen....It looks really zoomed in. I'll gladly paypal you anything if you can help me through these beginer issues.

  • Not all files work in log and transfer

    Hoping maybe someone has found a fix to this issue...
    When editing an HDV project not all my .m2t files (all in the same folder) want to transfer using Log and Transfer.  Most of the files will transfer correctly but sometimes it skips a file and puts a red exclamation mark in the status.  Not sure why most files work and a few don't when they are all from the same folder and from the same shoot.  The files will open fine in other 3rd party apps so the files are ok.  
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    FCP may be a bit more discriminating on the file structure or header integrity, dunno, never shot HDV myself but we've seen similar posts for years. Try copying the files to your drive first and then ingesting.
    Side note, ust because other apps can open the files doesn't mean they are intact or useable. You don't mention what these apps are but if you can export form them, do that and then ingest the new file which might have all of its glitches reparied to suit FCP.

  • Log and Transfer Issues - Canon HF10

    I have just recently acquired a Canon HF10 video camera and have had success getting some of the video to my Mac via log and transfer, however when the video files seem to be much longer than a few minutes the process fails. The status bar while it's transferring makes it all the way to 100%, but the file itself never moves up to the browser. When I click the file in the log and transfer window after the status bar has stopped moving I get a red exclamation mark with unknown error. Any help on this will greatly be appreciated.

    I believe I have figured out what the issue is. I was using an old 250Gb external as my scratch drive. Well - this drive is in FAT format and I just discovered that the FAT drives are limited to 4GB limit, hence the reason I couldn't transfer my larger files. I'm planning on reformatting this drive to Journaled OSX and I should be cool.

  • AVCHD Log and Transfer Woes.  Please advise.

    Folks, I am using the latest version of FInal Cut (7.02) to log and transfer AVCHD content from a Panasonic Lumix GH1. Many clips get imported but many stop with errors ( a stream error as note by a exclamation mark in a red alert icon in the status column) even though they play back in the log and transfer window, VLC, Toast 10.
    I've had to resort to using Toast 10 to transcode which is disheartening that it can and FCP can't. Plus it's slow. Another strange thing is that in FCP the number of clips that are successfully transcoded outnumber the number of clips for the same reel in Log and Transfer.
    Per some other message board to troubleshoot, I've updated my FxFactory plugin app, uninstalled Perian, deactivated the pulldown feature in Log and Transfer, and changed the AVCHD audio settings to plain stereo. None of these efforts has changed the stream errors I am getting.
    I could use some advice on this.

    L&T and Lumix GH1 footage needs the file structure in the 'PRIVATE' folder intact.
    So don't delete a single thing in there from the computer - if you want to remove clips you must do it from the camera. And when doing back-ups to a harddrive, copy the entire PRIVATE folder and again, don't change anything in there once it's on the harddrive. Then L&T can still access the clips, you don't have to do it from the SDHC card.
    And don't include photo captures.

  • Log and Transfer Errors with HF10/HF100 AVCHD Cams

    Log and transfer will transfer about 80% of clips on the Canon HF10 AVCHD camcorder, but the rest receives a red exclamation icon hovering over which brings the useless explanation box "Unknown Error".
    Using My Book Pro II dual HD with data stripping connected via Firewire, no speed issues there. Over 900GB is free on the drive, too. Moreover, copying the BDMV > STREAM > *.MTS structure to a DVD and then running the Log and transfer brings up the same error and nothing is transferred.
    The best part is that the same clips transfer just fine using iMovie '08. It is even possible to then import them from the iMovie project folder into Final Cut and then work with them.
    Hopefully some smart person has an idea what I could try. Thanks!

    OK, people. Got a freaking work-around.
    Select the clip in the log and transfer window *), then define your IN and OUT points for this clip, THEN hit "Add to Queue". Marked portion of the clip will import nicely. Now we just need full 1980x1020 support. Hopefully an updated FCE soon?
    *) Interface of the Log and Transfer window is as beautiful as any Mac app. Why hasn't that interface lift ever made it to the rest of Final Cut? Hopefully, next version.

  • AVCHD Clips Showing Up Black in Log and Transfer Window

    I'm doing some work for a client with some footage shot on a Sony NX5U. I'm trying to ingest the AVCHD clips into FCP 7.0.3 via the Log and Transfer window. I can pull up a list off all the clips in L&T and some of the clips work. Numerous other clips though, just show a black screen and have no audio. You cannot play the video in the preview window, although the box that shows the duration of each clip does show a time for each clip selected, so it must see something there. If I try to add any of the problem clips to the transfer queue, it tries for a few seconds to transfer the clip, then it gives the error with the red exclamation mark and stops. All the other clips transfer fine.
    I'm fairly certain that the problem is something with FCP because I can load the same clips into adobe premiere without any issues. I can also watch all of the same files in VLC player, so the problem doesn't appear to be a corrupt file or anything of that sort. I've tried the same steps and had the same results with the files on a memory card and the files copied off to my hard drive. I did receive the memory card from the client and did not shoot the footage myself, so its possible that something was messed up on his end, but the file structure appears to all be in tact, as near as I can tell.
    Here are a couple things I've already tried that didn't appear to help
    --Trashing the preferences to FCP
    --Switching the transfer codec from Apple Pro Res to AIC
    --Changing the scratch disks from an external hard-drive to the internal drive
    Any suggestions anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! I have transferred footage off this camera before with no issues, so I'm not sure why it's having problems now

    we're all the files shot in the same format?  Not all formats are compatible with fcp.  If you can bring the files into premiere, you can use the adobe media encoder to convert to prores and then work with them in fcp.  The interface on the adobe media encoder is not particularly intuitive at least in CS 5.5.  I use it for this kind of thing every few months and every time I have to figure it out again.  May be early onset alzheimers, but I don't think so.

  • Having Problems Importing Video From Camcorder ( Log and Transfer?)

    Hi everyone
    Today i received my Canon HF11
    It records AVCHD format.
    I'm pressing log and transfer, and it comes up, however when i press 'add to queue' it will be added, then an icon comes and spins for a few seconds, then it'll stop and turn into a red octagon with an exclamation mark in the middle
    A few people have said 'Choosing plain stereo fixes it' - but it hasn't, and i've changed pretty much everything to 'apple intermediate codec.
    I've done 'easy setup' and changed it to HD, FPS to all formats.. i'm trying to kind of match everything but it's not working for me
    I have a 2.4Ghz Aluminium Macbook, With Final Cut Express 4.0 trying to import with AVCHD
    Please Help

    Trash your preferences. They've probably been corrupted changing to the wrong format. There is only one correct setting that matches your media. Select that.
