FCP express HD when I go to "Log and transfer", don't transfer.

Hi. I got an Imac 21.5 ,2010 with 10.9.5 maverick and 4GB of ram.  I installed the FCP express HD.  when I go to "Log and transfer", shows all the clips and when I click for log and transfer, simply does nothing. It's shows that it's trying but at the end, nothing it's transfer. What it could be? Thanks.

What are the properties of the source material you want to ingest?
What camera shot this footage?
FCE cannot log and transfer AVCHD material that was shot at 1080 60p as that standard did not exist when FCE was discontinued.
Is your copy of FCE updated to 4.0.1?

  • FCP Crashes when I Try to Log and Transfer

    I just got a new iMac and installed a new copy of Final Cut Studio on it. I'm trying to transfer footage from my camera (Cannon Vixia HFM300) to Final Cut Pro via Log and Transfer. When I first tried, the thumbnails came up fine. I realized however that I had the wrong SD card, so I switched it. Now as soon as the Log and Transfer window comes up, FCP quits unexpectedly.
    I've tried disconnecting the camera and restarting the computer. Log and Transfer comes up fine when the camera's not connected. But when it is, the Log and Transfer window comes up for a second or two only, and then FCP crashes.
    I'm not sure what else to try. So any help will be much appreciated!

    So heres a status update:
    Someone suggested that I copy the files off the camera and onto the computer, then eject the camera, and try to Log and Transfer from the new folder.
    I tried that and FCP isn't crashing now, so that's an improvement. But when I try to open the folder in the L&T window, I get the following error message:
    Warning
    'Folder Name' contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Any suggestions?

  • FCE keeps crashing when I try to log and transfer

    Help! The FCE 4.0 program keeps crashing when I attempt to log and transfer media. The 30fps clips are ok but the 1080/60 clips just freeze, a green hue appears, then the whole program just unexpectedly quits.
    Wondering what i'm doing wrong? is the new updated FCE 4.0 not robust enough for 1080/60? or is my computer too weak or old? (iMac 2008).
    Appreciate any help. I'm desperate...
    Dan

    Thank you again for the response, Tom W. I'll keep that in mind. From now on, it's 30fps or 24fps until I upgrade to FCP.
    If it's not too much to ask. I'm stuck coz I am having difficulty saving the clips from the SD card to an External HD. I don't know if I should convert it to something else or just straight drag n drop the clips from SD card to a folder in the external. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

  • Why won't Express find my camera in the Log and Transfer window??

    I plug my Sony DCR45 Hard Disk Drive camera in. I switch it to USB connect mode, and then I enter the Log and Transfer window. I wait a good 15 to 20 minutes each time and it just won't locate my camera! How can I fix this?

    Well, your camcorder is not AVCHD, HDV or DV, so Final Cut Express is not going to 'see' your camcorder.
    Sony's specs on this camcorder leave something to be desired, but it does say the camera records MPEG2-PS. If this is the case, you will need to convert the video to DV or Apple Intermediate Codec before importing it into FCE.
    For most purposes, MPEG Streamclip can do the conversion however with MPEG2 material it needs the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20) which you can buy & download from the Apple Store.

  • Rotating logs and rdate don't work together

    Hi people,
    Recently I've noticed a problem with rotating logs and rdate. Since the server runs as a cronjob a 'rdate' command, web server logs are not rotated correctly.
    Archived log files only keep messages from the last hour (23-24), when they should keep the messages of the whole day.
    Servers without the 'rdate' cronjob keep archived messages properly.
    The magnus.conf line that configures the archives logs is:
    Init fn="flex-rotate-init" rotate-start="0000" rotate-interval="1440"
    and the crontab that runs rdate:
    10 20 * * * rdate mytimeserver
    What is the problem with archiving logs and running rdate??
    Thanks in advance,
    Juan Fuentes.

    This is a major screw-up on Apple’s part. Interesting that I just realized courtesy of MacIntouch that TM was NOT backing up my FileVaulted home folder. I use my MacBook Pro probably like most people. When I’m at home I’m behind a firewall. I leave the computer connected to my home network and I leave it open and on. I don’t log out ever! For security I do use the FileVault feature and I don’t use distant connections to my home network.
    There should be an option for TM to back up the open file vault directory just as if, frankly, someone would have access to it if they picked up my open computer and walked off with it. The owner has to have physical control of the computer. FileVault works if the computer is asleep and the wake log-on is enabled or if the computer is restarted. However, if my filevault is open and being used by me it should be available for a TM back-up.
    Interesting that Retrospect, with all its faults and promises of vaporware to come, WILL back up my MacBook FileVault.
    Apple should provide some type of option for this situation. On the fly decoding of the open FileVault directory so as to avoid a repeated total backup of the whole thing is the answer. It is the owner’s responsibility to keep the TM volume secure.

  • Firefox gives me a security warning when I open web sites and I don't want it to.

    I access a providers web site daily and when I go in I get a box message that their is a security warning that I have to get rid of before going any further. This happens to sites I go to everyday and I don't know how to stop this.

    To whomever sent me the question about screen shots (by the way I could not respond to the email nor will it show me your response on this screen)
    I couldn't screen shot it but I did copy:
    Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
    Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?

  • When I try to log and transfer I only have 35 mb left of free space and it won't allow me to add any clips to a project. How can I increase my available space to continue working. I am saving the project to an external drive with 3 terabytes available. pl

    help

    Direct new captures to the larger drive by setting the Scratch disc tab:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/5612860#5612860
    If your System drive has only 35MB free space you had better do something about that.  Free up a bit of space on it.

  • I have a new email address and my old email keeps coming up on icloud when trying to update apps and i don't know the password or security questions for the old email. I can sign in with my apple id which is tied to another email but not itunes how to fix

    I have an apple id and it has my current email attached to it. however when i go to update apps it's asking for the password for an old email. I no longer have the old email and can't use it. when I go to icloud on my ipad it asks for the password for old email. it doesn't allow me to change the old email to current. when i go to reset it i can't remember the password or security questions for the old email so it doesn't let me go any further. How do I fix this? Do i need to call apple support?

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • My firefox opens automatically when the computer turns on and I don't want it too. What can I change?

    When my Mac starts up, Firefox starts opening immediately. I don't want it too. How can I change it so it doesn't do this anymore.

    See [[Firefox launches automatically when your computer starts]]
    * Control-click on its Dock icon and uncheck 'Open at Login'
    * Click Accounts (in the System row of the System Preferences window)
    ** Click the Login Items tab
    ** Click on Firefox in the list

  • My mac shuts down when I'm in garageband and I don't get why?

    we just took it in awhile ago when Apple had their recall on macs a few months ago too..I don't understand

    Try to login to a different user on your computer and see if it has the same behavior. This way you can narrow it down to a "system issue" or a "user issue".
    Hope that helps

  • FCP Crash when opening log and transfer with some AVCHD footage on a card

    Hi,
    I'm using a freshly (re)installed version of FCP 7 on a brand new macbookpro loaded with 8gb ram and equipped with a small 2ghz Intel Core i7
    I get footage shot on Panasonic ag-hmr10 minicams coming on SD cards as AVCHD footage. Sometimes the files are quite big, 17gb of compressed footage.
    When I go to log and transfer, to convert the footage in apple prores, the l/t window opens, I see a preview of my footage, than the spinning beach ball of death shows up and FCP crashes every time. I've tried deleting the preferences and reinstalling the software. Still, it keeps crashing. Now the same file on a different computer equipped with FCP will be processed, slowly but surely.
    Now I know I can work around this problem by going to toast as an encoder, but I want to fix this issue so I can operate from FCP. I've seen this problem posted before but never found any good solution.
    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried setting the L&T AVCHD audio conversion prefs to plain stereo?
    Open the L&T window.
    Click on the gear icon towards the upper center of the frame.
    Select "Plain Stereo" For the AVCHD plugin.

  • Log and transfer inevitably crashing FCP

    We're editing a couple of music video in FCP 6.0.1.
    we shot with an HMC150 so the clips are being uploaded from an SDHC in an AVCHD folder via log and transfer. the first video went relatively fine barring several problems with log and transfer (files not matching thumbnails, files corrupting, FCP crashing) the problems seem to be random and inconsistent, as issues like a misplaced thumbnail or corrupted import could be reopened and fixed so there was no way to tell exactly why each thing was happening. eventually it all subsided and work went smoothly.
    went on to finish video number two and after several imports the log and transfer feature has decided to be the death of the project. Choosing log and transfer inevitably leads to an almost instant crash of FCP unless all drives it's reading from are disconnected. reinserting any drive means an instant crash. the drives are not corrupt and function just fine with any and all other programs, even imovie.
    why in the world can't i get FCP to stay alive when i open the log and transfer? please help.

    Right - I've solved this one. It turned out that I'd recorded some 1080p50 footage. The mere presence of this on the card freaked Log & Transfer. The camera doesn't make it easy by hiding that footage when you're looking at 1080i25 (or whatever "normal" mode is).
