FCE log & transfer won't recognise DSLR

Hi,
I have a problem where for some reason log & transfer on FCE won't recognise my camera, I have a Canon 60D (DSLR). I have tried putting the SD card straight into the computer & also by plugging the camera into the computer via cord.
However I am still able to import footage, I import from the SD card into iPhoto, go onto Final Cut & import. Yet for some reason when any footage, picture or text is imported to Final Cut Express, the footage is always degraded, that's why I thought log & transfer would be useful. If anyone could help that would be great.
Thanks.

  • Log & transfer won't capture all of my clip

    When using the Log & Transfer tool with P2 data, it seems to be chopping approximately 2-3 seconds off the end of each clip. Any thoughts? All of the data in the clip shows during playback within the log & transfer window, but when you add it to the Queue it seems to chop off the last 2-3 seconds. If I manually set in points and out points for the last 3 seconds it will bring in the correct data, so the information is there, it just won't bring in the whole clip if I do a simple add clip to queue.

    If you have iTunes open and click on Library then at the bottom of the window it should tell you how big your library is.
    Is that bigger than what will fit on your nano?

  • Samsung HMX-10 will not mount at Log & Transfer in FCP7

    Hi,
    I'm trying to use Log & Transfer to encode my Samsung mpeg4 footage into pro res to use in fcp7.  The camera will apears on my computer and desktop, but when I navigate to it in Log & Transfer the files won't apprear in the window. If I go deeper than the root level an error comes up saying file stucture is not recognised.
    I can do a work around using imovie locate the camera and encode into apple intermediate codec and then I can find and import these into fcp, but I'd rather be using pro res as I'm working with exisitng footage in this format.  I could reencode the mp4's using compressor and import them but this takes ages!  If anyone has any advice I'd be really greatefull - there are a few posts of people having similar problems but I can't find the solution.
    many thanks!

    I am having the same issue at our school district. If i wipe out the account and network folder, then recreate it individually it works on both Mac and Windows. So definitely on the server end.

  • Log & Transfer Error (.mov files) Issue

    When I add my SD info in Log & Transfer Window i get the error message "100Canon" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.....
    I used a Canon EOS Rebel to get the footage. I understand that FCE does not work with these .mov files without having to be forced to render.
    Is there any way that I can transfer these .mov files to avoid having to render? If not can I convert them to another file without loosing quality? Is there any solution to avoid having to render?

    You may lose a tiny bit of quality but it won't be noticeable. In Streamclip, you go to +File > Export to Quicktime+ and choose the Apple Intermediate Codec as your compression. Make sure you set a frame rate of 29.97 and audio to Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz. The exported video will be an AIC file in a .mov container.

  • Log & Transfer of Canon HF 11: error message

    Hi guys,
    I just got a new canon HF 11 (basically the same as the HF 10) and i tried to import footage using Log & Transfer but every time I click "add clip to queue" it spins a grey icon for a few seconds which then turns to a red circle with an exclamation mark inside and says "Error: No Data". I have tried giving the clip an in and out mark but this doesn't help.
    Any ideas,
    Thanks

    I have had a similar problem with my Canon HG21 which has both hard disk and 32GB flash drive. My method is to copy files from the Hard Disk to the flash drive and then place the flash drive into a card reader. I was able to see FCE downloading in log and transfer for a second or two and then it went into an idle mode and never downloaded the file.
    My solution was to delete ALL from from the flash drive followed by copying the videos and stills from the hard disk onto the clean flash drive. I realize you don't have the luxury of the hard disk, but perhaps you can extract the files using the Voltiac tool to clone the Canon structure from the camera and see if log and transfer will work directly from your hard disk on the Mac.

  • Log & Transfer with Mac OS 10.6.2

    Having previously had a fully working, and it has to be said impressive, installation of FCE 4.0.1 I attempted to ingest some new footage recently. I had not used FCE for about 3 months as I had no need to.
    FCE started up great and I was able to create a new project as well; but when I opened the Log & Transfer window and attempted to add the folder I'd copied from the camera's SD card, nothing. The folder name does not appear as the source at the top of the window and no files appear in the top list pane.
    Now to troubleshoot here's my line of thought:-
    1. The latest footage is corrupt.
    2. The system has changed since Iast used FCE. (This is true and I will come to this soon)
    3. The FCE install is corrupted.
    So here's what I've done to address each of the above steps.
    1. I returned to the last footage I'd successfully ingested and I could not add that footage's folder to the L&T window either, as a precaution I then trashed the preferences and tried again, still no good.
    2. As stated above my system has changed as since the last time I used FCE I've upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 and subsequently 10.6.2 also I've installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0. So to troubleshoot this I needed a test bed and so used a spare internal SATA drive as a new Startup Drive and performed the following.
    i. Erased the drive and re-formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    ii. Installed Mac OS 10.5.
    iii. Patched 10.5 with three iterations of Software Update.
    iv. Installed FCE 4.0.
    v. Patched FCE to 4.0.1.
    vi. Tested FCE and it worked perfectly, interesting but not the solution I would like.
    vii. Installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 and then tested FCE and it worked perfectly.
    viii. Updated Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 and then tested FCE and it worked perfectly.
    ix. Upgraded Mac OS to 10.6 and then tested FCE and it failed to add folders to the L&T pane.
    x. Patched Mac OS to 10.6.2 with three more iterations of Software Update and then tested FCE and it failed to add folders to the L&T pane.
    Ok a short pause in the overly detailed breakdown of what has occurred (I don't want anybody to be in any doubt as to my veracity in troubleshooting).
    So as far as the above sequence is concerned Mac OS 10.6.x does not support FCE and AVCHD media, as an added 'feature' after two attempts at adding a path to the footage FCE crashes completely.
    Maybe a 'clean' clean install is what is needed.
    xi. Erased the drive and re-formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) again.
    xii. Installed Mac OS 10.6 and patched with three iterations of Software Update.
    xiii. Installed FCE 4.0 and patched with Software Update to 4.0.1.
    xiv. Tested FCE and it still will not add a path to any media and crashes after a handful of attempts at getting it to do so.
    So the third of possible causes i.e. FCE install corrupted is excluded as cause 2 Mac OS problems are the culprit.
    Am I the only person with a professional spec (albeit a little long in the tooth, yet very capable) machine; built with the latest OS as per manufacturers recommendations; FCE software installed as per best practice and the media stored on a dedicated drive in the AVHCD file structure (as a footnote the software will not "see" the camera either) who is unable to use FCE as it will not do what it says on the tin. Unless the tin is 10.5.
    Spleen vented is anybody able to help?

    Impressive - you've been very methodical & thorough - I wish most posts were as thoroughly detailed as yours! But something else is going on. I have FCE 4.0.1 on 10.6.2 and it's working perfectly; ditto for a lot of other people here.
    You mentioned that you +"attempted to add the folder I'd copied from the camera's SD card"+ - have you tried Log&Transfer directly from your camcorder? If not, try that and let us know what happens (or not).
    When you copied that folder from your SD card, did you copy the +entire folder structure+ (all the way from the root of the SD card) or just the folder containing the video? That could be the problem (you need the entire folder structure for AVCHD video, not just the folder containing the MTS files.) What camcorder are you using?

  • Error message on MXF Log & Transfer

    Haven't had this one before. I have another post running asking for assistance in converting MXF P2 card files to MOV without using FCP. I thought I should also post for help on the original problem.
    I take in a lot of video shot on P2 cards for editing. I received files recently shot on the Panasonic HPX300. Started up FCP 7.0.3 (I won't upgrade to the balky newer version) and started the Log & Transfer as I have done countless times without an issue.
    There is over 500GB of material here. MOST of it came in and then once put in the queue was converted and placed in it's proper place in the bins. However, a number of files did not transfer and this is the error message on each one:
    "m" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Checked a few things:
    - The files and folders were not renamed.
    - I tried the files both from the original hard drive they were downloaded onto and another external of my own I placed copies on.
    - I do not have the original cards. These files were sent to me by the photog.
    - Here's the poser. When FCP starts and L&T is selected, and I chose the proper drive with the folders, the files show up in the upper area before being moved into the queue. When there, I can click on a file and see the video playing properly in the preview window to the left. No problem.
    But when I move that video file to the queue for transfer, the problem files will reach about a third and then the error message. So I KNOW the files are there and they are playing back, but I cannot get them to transfer.
    There is no rhyme or reason as to which ones fail. They come from the same folders, same contents, yet some will transfer and others will not.
    Help is greatly appreciated on this one. THank you.

  • Log & Transfer of AVCHD fails to transfer - Write TimeCodeTrack Error -2008

    Hi,
    I'm testing out my new Canon HF11 and copied the AVCHD directory for a test shot onto my hard drive, created a new project in FCE 4.01, created a Bin, set it to default capture bin, then started Log & Transfer.
    When I select the AVCHD directory I see the two clips I recorded, and I can preview them in the L&T preview window. Dragging them to the Transfer Queue works, and I see the spinning disk to indicate it is being processed. After the progress bar reaches 100% the disk stops spinning, but there is nothing in the Bin.
    When I click on the clip in the transfer window it changes to indicate there was an error.

  • Final Cut Express Log & Transfer Error No Data

    Hello all, after hours pouring through the threads with similar questions, I have had no luck. I have been using FCE for nearly two years, and have never seen this error message "No Data"
    Last night, I was in the middle of transferring clips from my Sony hdr xr520v using my MacBook Pro capturing on my external HD with over 200GB available. The transfer was going smoothly, but VERY slow - slower than I remember it ever taking. I thought I would be a bright one and switch from my Firewire port to my USB (I had been capturing via USB for about 6 months when my logic board fried and external drive was not visible via Firewire only USB) In any event, I'm boring you with the details so you can replicate the scenario. The transfer was working with Firewire but I switched back to USB illogical I know since Firewire is faster than USB, but I was going with prior 6months experience. When I connected the HD with the USB, all of a sudden I got the No Data error message. I promptly switched back to Firewire, but I am still getting the message! What have I done?
    I checked my settings - Log & Transfer is set to AVHD Plug in and Plain Stereo. Both audio and video are checked, FCE is set to HDV- AIC 1080i50.
    I can not log & transfer ANY clips into FCE (not even the ones already imported last night) I can, however import all into iMovie (which I know doesn't care about all the stuff FCE cares about but helped me eliminate the possibility of corrupt clips).
    ANY help would be MUCH appreciated

    I thought you had to use USB 2.0 to log and transfer AVCHD . . . . definitely not Firewire?
    I suggest you trash the preferences as detailed in the link below and start again with the correct Easy Setup and using USB 2.0.

  • Log & Transfer from Sanyo Xacti

    I submitted this question to another topic, but I think it needs its own.
    I have just bought a little Xacti HD2000, mainly as a research tool, but there are times when I want to include shots in a HDV project in FCP7. The Xacti offers a range of formats from "Full HR" (1920x1080 60fps) down to "TV-SHQ" (640x480 30 fps). It's my assumption that this format is (or is compatible with) AVCHD.
    My aim is to ingest the footage using the Log & Transfer window and transcode it from "Full SHQ" (1920x1080 30fps) to ProRes 422 (set in the Preference Pane for AVCHD). However Log & Transfer doesn't appear to recognise the Xacti folder format, it tells me that it "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    Is there a way to fix this so it does recognise the folder or do I have to transcode each shot individually with Compressor?

    OK, so I've now evaluated a few options including Streamclip, Visual Hub (still works) and Compressor 3.5 (part of the new FCS). I have always been a bit intimidated by Compressor, but after a few tutorials I've managed to sort my way through the labyrinthine interface and set up a Custom Template for converting my Xacti files to ProRes. Using a batch and a virtual cluster I've found it's really just as simple as Streamclip, has a lot more parameters and fits into my workflow quite well.
    My original question was about how to ingest the AVCHD files using the the FCP "Log and Transfer" window, which doesn't work because it doesn't recognise the file structure of the SD card. I'd still like to try this our if anyone can suggest a way.

  • Log & transfer question

    In the past I have ingested my AVCHD .mts files direct from the SD cards via "Log & transfer" with no problems. Unfortunately a colleague has left the country I'm in, with the SD cards and left me with direct copies on a hard disc.
    When I try and use Log & transfer to ingest the same .mts files from a disc it doesn't recognise the files. Is this normal?

    Did they copy the FULL CARD structure? Leave nothing out? Keep in EXACTLY the way it appeared on the card? In other words...made a folder, copied everyting on that card into that folder? If so, then in Log and Transfer, just select that folder.
    If not...boo on them. Hisssss! Then you will need third party options like Toast Titanium or Clipwrap2. I recommend Clipwrap...I use it and really like it.

  • Log & Transfer

    I am having trouble with log and transfer. the camera I use is a Cannon HF10. When I log & Transfer all my clips appear in the log screen, but when I transfer to que I get an ! in a red box and the clip won't transfer.Never had this before. Can someone help?

    There are a lot of potential causes for this. If you could do a forum search you might see a number of different possible solution.

  • Log & Transfer Error...

    Using a Sony HXR camera (AVCHD) and FCE 4.0.
    When adding clips to the Log & Transfer window, I get a spinning wheel, then a red hexagon with an exclamation mark in it. The continual error is "no data", no matter how many times I try.
    I have been looking through this and other forums for hours and have tried all the suggestions... specified Apple Intermediate Codec, selected "plain stereo" etc. etc.
    Would appreciate any suggestions as this is seriously frustrating and I need to finish a project... thanks.

    No worries.
    The updates adds a few Easy Setups that most likely your camera employs.

  • Itunes won't recognise password

    I'm trying to de-authorize an older computer but itunes won't recognise my password... I know I'm using the correct one because 1 - i just re-set it and 2 I'm using it right now on my laptop to log in and post this question...
    The computer I'm trying to de-authorize is an old imac (the one with the movable screen) running osx 10.4.11...
    Any suggestions?

    Just dealt with this...I unplugged my ApTV and moved it to another television; this is why the trouble began.  The date and time wouldn't update, so hitting menu didn't help and home sharing wouldn't recognize our password.  Reset my password on iTunes -- everything else took it except for ApTV.  We reset ApTV a few times, same issue...
    We rebooted our router!  BINGO!
    Works perfectly again!
    Good luck but definately try rebooting your router first -- it will save you the frustration, believe me.
    Cheers!

  • Does Log & Transfer exist in FCP 5??

    This seems like such a noob question, but I've searched my manual and all my menus, as well as looking all over this forum, and I can't find "Log & Transfer" in FCP5. Log & Capture won't work with my Canon Vixia HF10. I got that.
    I can import video clips into iMovie '08 and move them over, but that seems way high on the lameness scale, and in looking at the movie properties of the resultant .mov file, looks like I lose something in the import.
    I would rather not shell out the bucks to go from FCP5 to FCP6, but if I must... sigh.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    You will need to upgrade for Log and Transfer. It is a new feature for FCS2 / FCP 6.xx
