Is there a XDCAM log and transfer plugin for FC EXPRESS???

I am working on a project using Final Cut Express, but this time the material was shot with an XDCAM, so I received it in two SD HC memory sticks. I have a Sony multi-card reader. Is there a XDCAM plugin for FCExpress??? If not, is there a way to convert the files to use them without having to upgrade to FCP??? Help!!!

  • Log and transfer error for large avchd file

    The log and transfer proces for large (>15 min) avchd MTS files results in an error. The process is aborted and the destination prores 422 file disappears from the finder.
    I shoot avchd MTS files with a Sony HXR NX5 onto SDHC 32Gb cards.
    I copy the entire image to an attached disk.
    In FCP6.0.6 I use log and transfer.
    The process works flawlessly for smaller clips.
    The longer clips fail.
    During the process I see the creation of a ProRes 422 MOV file and its growth. Before completion it ends in an abort.
    In the log and transfer dialog I get a red octangle sign with an exclamation mark. I am not able to get the details of the error.
    Q: what should I do to be able to use my longer clips?

    All disks, internal and external (hardwired) are macosextended.
    Have reset all prefs. Currently rerunning an 19 min import (will take over an hour).
    If that fails, I will resort to setting ins and outs.
    Thinking out loud, my sony NX5 produces MTS files of max 2Gb. If the clip is longer, it is split over multiple files on the SDHC.
    FCP seems to recognise this artificial split. In L&T it combines the split files into a single clip.
    Q: could it be that L&T stumbles over this artificial split of a clip?

  • SONY XDCAM LOG and TRANSFER CRASHING FCP

    I am trying to log and transfer xd cam footage. every time i open the log and transfer window, FCP crashes. What is the cleanest way to get rid of the xdcam plugin.
    the error message reads:
    The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly after it was relaunched. The problem may have been caused by the SonyXDCAM plug-in.
    I have tried to get rid of it and obviously failed because i keep getting that message which tells me it's still there.
    Can someone give me a step by step on how to get rid of it?

    Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
    If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
    1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
    http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
    2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
    4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

  • Issue with XDCam log and transfer update

    I'm trying to install Sony's XDCAM EX Log and Transfer Plug-in, and only can get as far as the "Destination Select" tab, where I'm informed that it "can't be installed on this disk. Final Cut Pro 6.0.3 or higher is recommended for this software."
    I just installed Final Cut Pro 7 yesterday.
    ... what gives? Do I even need this update to be able to manage the videos from my PMW EX1r? I was unable to use them in final cut pro when I tried earlier, and was led to that "Log and Transfer Plug-in" from Sony and told it was the solution, which now won't allow me to even install it.

    You have a number of options, make sure you have the latest Sony XDCAM EX Log and Transfer plug in (v1.2) also grab Sony's XDCAM Transfer (v2.12) which you can use instead of the aforementioned L&T plug in. Plus there is Sony's Clip Browser app (v2.6) for checksum validated offloading of the media from the camera/cards ... and now there is a brand new app called Sony XDCAM Browser (v1.0) which is designed to combine/consolidate the functions of the various utilities into one single handy dandy app. Unfortunately in this first release it has far inferior functionality as compared to what can be managed with the separate apps.
    All of the above can be most easily downloaded (requires no registration) from Sony's Canadian website:

  • Log and transfer stops for some reason

    I just upgraded to FCE 4.0.1.
    I am trying to Log and Transfer video that is AVCHD 720 30p.
    I have FCE "easy setup" set to "HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30".  I assume this is correct?
    When I select a clip in Log And Transfer, put my in and out points, and choose "add clip to cue", the cued clip begins transferring and exactly 10 seconds later it just stops.  I tried to start over with a new project and it keeps happening.  Log and Transfer just stops.  No injesting.
    And there are no clips showing up on my scratch disk.
    Help?

    The AVCHD 720 30p was the camera info I was given.
    I can't open the .MTS files with Quicktime or mpeg StreamClip so I'm unable to get any info from them.
    When I select "get info" on the .MTS files (in a folder called "Stream", the attached screenshot shows this:

  • Is there any Eclipse Pulsar and JCDE Plugin for Java Card 2.2.1?

    Hi Friends..
    I want to know is there any Eclipse Pulsar and JCDE Plugin that still supports for Java Card 2.2.1?
    Actually, currently i use Eclipse Pulsar and JCDE Plugin but it support only for Java Card 2.2.2..
    I tried to set the Java Card Preference into JCDK 2.2.1, but it couldn't be set because converter.jar isn't compatible..
    Please help me regarding this..
    Thanks in advance..

    There is, but it's very limited.
    1. Put the Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    2. Point both machines at it.
    3. That's it.
    But remember:
    A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries. 
    Also
    Only one user can open a library at a time.

  • Best Log and Transfer choices for transfering Panasonic P2 media?

    I am working on a documentary in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.
    Most of the footage is 1080 24p EX-1 and it is being edited within a ProRes422 timeline.
    I have new interview footage, about 20 minutes shot with a Panasonic Varicam, and in the Log & Transfer window, under the P2 plug-in, it gives me various choices:
    Native AVC Intra
    DVCPRO HD
    the flavors of ProRes including 422 standard, which is what my editing timeline currently is...
    Are there any quality advantages by importing it natively (AVC Intra) and editing it within a ProRes TL? Or should I just import the Panasonic footage using ProRes 422 in L&T so it's a perfect match for my timeline?
    Thanks for any advice on what offers the best possible quality...John

    Did you shoot AVCIntra? Then bring it in as ProRes. Bringing it in NATIVE is faster, but there are no sequence settings for that format, so you'll always be rendering. And DVCPRO HD is 8-bit and anamorphic, so you'll be losing quality.
    Just use ProRes 422.

  • Log and transfer with Canon cameras

    Hello. Using Final Cut Pro 7 to edit my project.
    I've been importing footage successfully from my Canon 7D using the Log and Transfer plugin. 
    I tried to do the same with new footage from my Canon Powershot S100.  I receievd this error:
    "contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    I transferred the files from camera --> external hard drive keeping the original file structure.  is there another way I should be importing footage from a non-EOS camera?
    Thanks!

    I'm not aware of any plugin that Canon has for the S100 but you may want to check on that. If they don't, it would be best to convert the footage to ProRes 422 prior to importing into an FCP project.

  • Log and capture or Log and transfer?

    I'm a newbie to FCP, I've been working at it and researching, so I have a basic understanding, been able to do some good stuff, now I'm looking to find more time-economical ways to do things.  I'm a football coach, looking to cut up game films into individual plays (1 play per clip), and ideally being able to name each clip by it's play name "Trap" or "Pop Pass" for example.  It looks like I need to get into logging if possible.  My workflow at present when dealing with an opponent's film is to take a DVD, and get it onto my computer using MPEG Streamclip.  I've been using DVC-PAL as a codec at someone's suggestion, I can't rmemeber where I got that.  Is this a mistake?  Anyhow, I now import that movie file into FCP using File>Import.  At this point I can't do any logging though, if I try Log and Capture or Log and Transfer I get "Unable to initialize video deck", though it tells me I can still use Capture Now.  Once it opens the Log and Capture window, I get "Error: this operation requires a controllable deck."  and directs me to the Audio/Video Settings.  Here's where I'm pretty much lost.  Do I try to adjust settings from here?  If so, to what?  Do I need to start by changing my MPEG Streamclip settings and then trying to match those up in my FCP Audio/Video Settings?  Or do I need to completely overhaul the way I'm approaching this?  ARGH!  I've been impressed with myself getting to this point, any help from here would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!

    Log and Capture is used if you are capturing footage from tape based formats.  DV, HDV, HDCAM...others.
    Log and Transfer is for tapeless camera systems.  P2, XDCAM, Canon DSLR, AVCHD. 
    If your footage comes from DVDs...and you convert the footage to QT files...then you simply go to FILE>IMPORT.  You don't log with this method.  Just import and work with the footage.

  • Log and Transfer in FCP7 from Firestore HD100

    I recently did the upgrade from FCP6 to FCP7 in order to take advantage of the log and transfer capability for file based media. I have a JVC HD200 camera with a Firestore MR-HD100 drive attached. I have as yet had no luck at all getting FCP7 to recognize a file from the HD100 drive in any configuration.
    Am I missing something or will the FCP7 log and transfer application not work with files generated with this drive?

    No, we DO get the point. We know exactly what you want to do...you just chose a shooting format that doesn't do what you want to do. If you wanted that functionality you should have chosen to shoot on tape, P2, SxS, or SD card. Or used the firestore with a P2 camera and shot using the P2 file structure. You chose a camera that shoots directly to QT and therefore does not have that functionality.
    As it is you have to retain all of the original file at full size and archive that.
    Because you chose a shooting format in which you have to do that.
    I chose the particular format because it offered me a specific set of features that suited my shooting needs.
    What are those features that any other of the cameras that shoot to tape, P2, SxS or SD card don't offer?
    That doesn't mean that I have to accept that Apple is not doing their job in covering all aspects of the professional film and editing world and making an interface addition that is substandard.
    OK, name ONE NLE that would do what you want with the format you chose to shoot? Avid? Nope. Premiere...nope. Vegas? Nope. Edius? Nope. So is EVERYONE out there not doing their job in this case? No. You chose a format that is NOT suited to doing what you wanted to do. That is no ones fault but your own.

  • Log and transfer not working

    I am attempting to ingest footage from my SDHC cards that is in a .mov format. Nothing happens. When I attempt to select the path to the files I'm told it is an improper or unsupported format. Any suggestions?

    Did you install the EOS Log and Transfer plugin? You must if you want FCP to work with Canon DSLR through log and transfer.
    THis tutorial link has links to the Canon site. You have to choose your OS, and then it'll appear in a list.

  • Log and Transfer Custom Path Problem

    I've been ingesting clips from my Canon 7D using log and transfer. For the life of me I can't seem to get it to put the media on my external drives. It always wants to override my selection and send it to my main hard drive which quickly gets filled up and gives a warning. I come back an hour later and only 3 of my 81 clips have been logged and transferred.
    I'm sure I'm missing a step somewhere. I open Log and Transfer, click the preference wheel (top right) select custom path, click on my external drive (sometimes I get the warning that media on these drives is not supported) and then select the clips, drag them to the bottom and walk away.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks Tom...so simple...sort of like "did you take the lens cap off?"

  • HDV log and transfer

    Working in FCP 7.0.3 with an AJA IO/HD (which I hope is not an issue here).
    Easy Set-Up: HDV 1080i. Timeline is standard HDV 1080i – 1440 X 1080 frame size and pixel aspect ratio. HDV 1920 X 1080i compressor.
    I am using a card and a reader to import footage via Log and Transfer.
    The footage is being converted to ProRes but I'd like to keep it in HDV (client request). How do I change the import settings to keep the media in HDV?
    Many thanks in advance.
    OS 10.6.7
    Quicktime Pro 7.6.6

    The camera, not sure of the model, also captures to SD cards and I've successfully transferred from the cards to FCP many times using Log and Transfer. For my own purposes, the files have been transcoded to ProRes, this by default. The client is interested in HDV, however, I'm looking for a way to import the files as HDV.
    Thanks for helping to clarify, Christina.

  • Is there a way to import clips from AVCHD folders I have copied from my camcorder to my hard disk? With FCE I could import these clips using log and transfer.

    In FCP-X is there a way to import AVCHD clips from an AVCHD file folder I have copied from my Canon hard disk camcorder to my iMac hard disk?  With FCE I used log and transfer with no problem; but, FCP-X doesn't import them. It will import AIC files that have been created in FCE from the original AVCHD files.  If FCP-X will not import these files directly from the copied AVCHD folder, is there a workaround using other software to convert the files? For example, Compressor? (Canon does not provide any AVCHD conversion software for OSX).

    Hi jphil and Tom
    I have exactly the same problem but the answer you (Tom) provided did not help in my case. Trying to "Import ->From Camera" and pointing to the AVCHD folder yields the error message: "(Folder) contains unsupported files or has invalid directory structure."
    Folder structure is
    AVCHD
         BDMV
              CLIPINF
                   .CPI files
              Index.bdm
              Movieobj.bdm
              PLAYLIST
                   .MPL file
              STREAM
                   .MTS files
    AVF_INFO
         3 files (.bnp, .inp, .int)
    DCIM
         101MSDCF
              empty
         MODELCFG.IND (file)
    My question is: Is that not a "camera archive" of the type you talked about in the thread? Is it on principle not possible to import the files in that format/directory structure? If not, since the shots were not taken by myself, what should I ask the guy who shot the movies to give me to be able to work with them in FC?
    I work with a brand new Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 (still very clumsy with it) on an iMac 11,3 with MacOS 10.6.8.
    I downloaded the latest version of codec updates from the Apple support site but no difference.
    Thank you in advance

  • Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

    Importing a lot of video clips from a Sony camera to FCE; during the Log and Transfer process, is there a way to add multiple clips to the browser instead of one at a time?

    Select one and click cmd-A which selects them all.
    Then click the import button if it hasn't started already.
