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.

  • 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.

  • Final cut pro log and transfer

    Hi !
    I'm trying to transfer footage from my camera sony HDD.
    when i open the window log and transfer, i'm suposed to see my clip.mts, or to be able to drag them but nothing is happening.
    how am I suposed to log clip from a cam with an hard disk drive?

    FC Pro cant capture stuff from hard drive cameras
    you will have to transfer the files to the Mac then convert them
    MPEG stream clip can convert many types but that depends on the type they are

  • Log and transfer will not see contents in p2 folders

    This just started happening. Before log and transfer was working great now it won't see
    any of the video shot to p2 cards in most of my folders. Every now and then it recognizes and imports actual images into Log and transfer but not from the folders I need. This is really becoming a hassle I now have to go to my slower computer with a older version of final cut 5.04 and transfer using the import function (which works fine) is there any reason why log and transfer won't recognize theses files?

    I just started having this problem on my laptop. And it has nothing to do with Noise Industries, because I've never had it installed on my laptop.
    Same thing, though, with AVCHD files. I shoot them, copy the entire card to an external drive, then L&T from there. Just stopped working. Even cards I've transferred in the past won't load into the L&T window anymore.
    Reinstalled software last night and was working again. Came downstairs this morning to start in on another project, and no L&T anymore.
    No new software installed or upgraded, it just stopped working.

  • Final Cut Express Opens and Shuts Down?!  HELP!!!

    Hi there,
    I recently purchased Final Cut Express 2.0 and installed it onto my computer. After running into numerous glitches, I upgraded to FCE 3.5.
    I installed FCE 3.5 and LiveType and Soundbooth both are working great. However, when I open FCE, it begins to open and starts to load. You assume it is going to load in, but then the screen disappears and you are back to the desktop.
    I have deleted the preference files from the library, figuring that would be the solution. However, it seems as if that still has not solved my problem. I also tried Reparing Disc Utilities AND I tried re-installing just Final Cut Express after deleting the files that I thought might have been corrupt.
    Can anybody lend some advice as to what else I might try? If you have steps on how to do these things, that'd be great, too.
    The apple support people that I called said I should come on here, so please do not advise me to call Apple.
    THANK YOU!!!!

    Try trashing the preferences again making sure you delete ALL of them as described in this article by Tom:-
    http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
    If FCE still does not work, try reinstalling again but make sure you first of all UNINSTALL COMPLETELY like this :-

    You can ignore the LiveType and Soundtrack items.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and I Movie

    I am having trouble understanding how to work with videos on my new Mac. I do not understand how to import photos from my hard drive into I Movie or Final Cut Express. I also do not understand why I cannot download a slideshow DVD I created on my Windows Vista into Final Cut Express.

    MPEG Streamclip can convert a VIDEO_TS folder to other formats. Use "Open DVD" from its "File" menu and choose the VIDEO_TS folder.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and avchd

    I read an article that recommended your products so I'm hoping you can help me.  I recently bought a Panasonic AC-90A HD video camera which uses AVCHD recording format. In the article it said that I should be able to upload into Final Cut Express 4 and edit. I can upload to the viewing screen, however, I can't seem to bring the clips into the bins which I need to do to edit. Would you be able to help finding the problem and clearing it so that I can edit.
    Thank you,
    John

    This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple here.
    Can you describe exactly what you are doing and where the problem occurs?
    Can you verify you are using FCE version 4.01?
    On your camera can you verify you are not shooting in the 1080 60P mode? 1080 60P AVCHD was not a standard when Apple discontinued and abandoned FCE, so that functionality was never added.

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and Final Cut Pro 7

    I have been working at school on Final Cut Pro 7
    I just bought Final Cut Express 4 thinking it would be a cheaper way for me work at my home computer. However, when I open my Final Cut files (created in Pro 7) I get a message that says their format is too new for Final Cut Express 4.
    Is there a solution to my problem? Is it really not possible to go back and forth between Final Cut Pro 7 and Final Cut Express 4?
    Is there some creative way of making this work? Help!

    Unfortunately not. You can start the project in FCE. Open it FCP, but once it's saved in FCP, it will no longer open in FCE. (It's not supposed to anyway, though it does rarely in some cases where very little is done in FCP.)

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Final Cut Express HD and Mac Pro Issue

    Howdy all,
    I have Final Cut Express HD version 3.0 (LAST year's version not this year's version). I've been using it for some time now on my G4 iMac, but just acquired a 2.66 GHz Mac Pro. I copied over the application and support files to the Mac Pro but when I try to run the program I get an error that I don't have an AGP graphics card. I tried following the advice in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=445909&tstart=60
    But none of those suggestions work. Hitting the escape key just stops the program. Changing the plist file does nothing. The program attempts to start and then just stops.
    I'd really rather not go out and buy this year's copy if I don't have to as Apple is probably going to be releasing a new version in a couple months anyhow and then I'll upgrade.
    Please let me know if there is a work around for this. I would have posted in the other thread so as to not start a duplicate thread, but it had already been archived.
    Thanks,
    Jon
    2.66 GHz MacPro, 30 GB iPod Photo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    if the OP used Migration Assistant or disk cloning
    software to make a copy oif his system drive it is
    possible to copy the app without using the
    installation disks, although these methods of
    transferring apps from PowerPC to Intel macs will
    undoubtedly cause problems.
    This doesn't make sense now that I think about it. If the Application is purely a PowerPC app, then copying to an Intel machine it or re-installing it from scratch should make no difference. The same stuff is all going to be installed anyhow.
    To Ian,
    It can be copied w/o installing, of that I am sure. You can't just copy the application package though. There's a number of support folders in both the /Library directory and ~/Library directory. Somewhere in there is the licensing info.
    Anyhow, I'll try deleting all the plist files you suggest and starting over. If I have to, I will call Apple to see about getting my orignal code. After all, I have registered and they should be able to see each product I have purchased...

  • What's the deal with Final Cut Express HD and me?

    A few months ago, I encountered a lot of problems when I was trying to capture some HD video using Final Cut Express H.D. I've set my camera (a JVC GR-HD1U) to the MPEG2 setting, and I changed the set up in Final Cut to Apple Intermediate Codec 1080i60. The good news is that I was able to capture for about 15 seconds. Then the capture stops, and a message comes up telling me that I have reached the end of the tape. Only I haven't.
    So.....what's the deal here?
    Is there something that I am overlooking, or doing wrong? Or is it just not meant to be for me to capture HD Video?
    If someone could let me know, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks everyone.

    Am I right in thinking this camera isn't compatible/on the supported list? Does it work with iMovie? Perhaps you could capture there and import into FCE?
    I see in your earlier post Manson Root had captured from this camera successfully. Perhaps they will reply again.

  • Final Cut Express HD and the Macbook Pro

    I just purchased a Macbook Pro along with final cut express HD. After purchase I read that FCE HD won't work with the macbook pro. I was hoping to see if anyone knew if they were coming out with an upgrade to the universal version like they are with Final Cut Pro.
    Intel based macbook pro   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    That will not work. Ian's solution is for dual core G5s and PCIe based iMacs. It does not address Intel based machines like the 2006 iMac and the MacBook Pro. These machines will have to wait till the end of March for the release of new Universal Binary software to run on them. It's possible FCE3 will never run and will need to be upgraded to another version. If you recently purchased FCE HD to run it on this new computer, I'd suggest, if you can, to return it until the position on the new software becomes clear.

  • Final Cut Express 4 and MacOS 10.6?

    I just bought the new Mac Box Set with Snow Leopard and Final Cut Express 4.
    Thus far, I've been running MacOS 10.4.11 on my MacBook Pro. I have no experience with 10.5 or 10.6.
    I have yet to receive shipment of either software package. Is there anything I should know about when installing Final Cut Express on a Snow Leopard system? (NOTE: I am having this software installed after also having an MCE Technologies 500 GB hard drive also installed, so this will all be a clean install.)
    I have used Final Cut Pro 4.5 before, but never Express.

    Walt,
    I don't think FCE comes with QT pro. I already had QT pro when I loaded FCE so I am not 100 % certain.
    Do you have quicktime Pro now? It looks like you are doing a clean install of Snow Leopard, If you are updating to Snow Leopard and have QT pro it moves QT7 Pro to the utilities folder. With the clean install you need to get QT 7 from the Snow Leopard disk. Then you fire up Quicktime and go to the registration screen and put in your QT pro info.
    Hope this helps you.
