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?

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.

Refresher for log and transfer in FCP 7
Hi,
I need a bit of a refresher to using log and transfer in FCP 7 what setting do I use for XDCAM ? Do I set it to AVCHD?
Please help
Thank you
JeffHave you loaded the xdcam plug in?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2721
Otherwise, I think you have the choice of keeping it as xdcam or converting to prores when you log and transfer. xdcam are smaller file sizes, while prores is generally less taking on the system. -
My FCP keeps quitting unexpectedly, it’ll start load up and then quit around 16% of loading my project. Please, someone help me this is my biggest project.
You do know where the project is, don't you? Select the project in the finder and get info for thr project. How big is the file.
You can find how to trash your preferences <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html">here</a>.
You do have the media on separate drive, don't you? If yes, unmount the drive with the application closed. Drag it to the trash. Trash your preferences. Launch the application. Reset the scratch disk if you have to. Open the project. What happens? -
FCP keeps quitting when using compressor
Hello all, when exporting via compressor, FCP keeps quitting. The compression is a custom file that I use all the time. This has never happened before. I've trashed the preferences - which usually fixes most bugs, but not this time. And ideas?
As a work-around, export a self-contained or reference movie from FCP (File->Export->QuickTime Movie). Be sure to include chapter markers if needed.
Use the resulting file in Compressor.

I am unable to update my IPhone 4 to the IOS 6. I managed to back up and transfer and then when it asked to update I said yes and the sync process started, left it overnight and it came up with an error if continue you will loose all your data. So stopped! Help!
Are you currently on ios 4? If so that's where the backup comes in. You'll need to restore your backup once the software is updated.

Log and Transfer - panasonic HDC-SD5 - quits on startup - AVCHD
Hi Guys,
When an SDHC (4Gb) card or HDC-SD5 (via USB) is connected, and I bring up the Log and Transfer window, Final Cut Pro quits without a message. I have been struggling with the same issue with iMovie '08. Please see this thread for details:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5526463�
Configuration: FCP 6.0.1, Pro Update, QT 7.1.6. OSX 10.4.9. MacPro.
I no longer know what to do with this issue. I've tried using Disk Utility to make an image and then mount it...same result. The SD reader is not the issue as the result is the same even if I connect the camcorder via USB. I noticed that I if I don't apply the Pro Apps Update and keep FCP at 6.0, it doesn't crash but fails to recognize the Panasonic's AVCHD structure on the SD card.
What I did notice, however, was the manual mentioned that SD cards, whether it be 4Gb or 8Gb are formatted with FAT32 and everything below 4Gb is formated with FAT16. Perhaps this can be the root cause? Is there anybody suing a SDHC 4Gb card , formatted with the Panasonic AVCHD structure having success with FCP 6.0.1 (and or iMovie '08)???
I also read that QuickTime 7.2 can be the issue, reformatted and installed 7.1.6, again, same result.
Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks.Max Average, thanks for your reply but you suggestion does not work. I copied the contents of the SD card to a directory on my main volume, opened FCP, went to Log and Transfer, clicked the Add Folder button and then navigated to aforementioned directory -- and still FCP quits!
The directory structure as it appears on my panasonic formatted drive is:
DCIM
MISC
PRIVATE
|_AVCHD
|_AVCHDTN
|_BDMV
|_CLIPINF
|_00000.CPI
|_INDEX.BDM
|_MOVIEOBJ.BDM
|_PLAYLIST
|_00000.MPL
|_STREAM
|_00000.MTS
Is this a standard across all AVCHD manufacturers? -
Not sure what is going on. Been using Log and Transfer for 8 months to capture video from P2 Cards in Panasonic HVX200 recorded in 720p60. Haven't had a problem before. Today, went to capture new footage (only about 15 minutes worth) and the first time I briefly saw the dialog window before FCP crashed, but since then, after restarting, closing the open files, creating a new project, making sure software was up to date, etc, it keeps crashing before even showing the window. I just get the 'spinning beachball of death' for about 5 seconds before the crash.
I also tried just transferring the files to the local drive first than running the log and transfer, but that didn't work either.
I don't have FCP tricked out with any plug-ins, with the exception of Flip for Mac, but that has been running fine for all 8 months.
Any ideas?Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should

Log and Transfer Causes FCP to Freeze!
Quite an annoying problem.
Running FCP 6.0.6
I go to log & transfer new footage. I can select a folder. I can even see the footage and play it back in the preview window, but when I press "Add Selection to Queue" or "Add Clip to Queue" (both do this), I get the spinning beach ball and it just spins and spins (I've let it run for 45 minutes). The application stops responding, and I have to force quit it. And this happens regardless of where the source footage comes from (internal drive/external drive), what the footage is (DVCPRO/XDCAM/RED), or how long the clip is. It is very frustating. Any help?! I've un-installled and re-installed FCP Studio 2 three times now! I've remembered to update my apps every time. One time I tried to log&transfer before updating the applications. FCP added the clip to the queue, but it would just give me the red "!" and wouldn't actually do it. Any help!?In the end Clipwrap saved the day on this project.
This did happen to me again though on yet another project, where the files were around an hour long this time. In the end I got it to work, not sure the solution but tried the following:
- Selected a different easy setup (choose PAL) - this fixed the problem for a colleague of mine, even though it doesn't seem logical
- Used my internal drive as a scratch disk instead of my firewire drive (normally this is not a problem)
I haven't tried this with the really long clips, as Clipwrap saved me.
Many thanks for suggestions. -
Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP
I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
ThanksHi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

P2 files don't display in Log and Transfer VIEWER FCP 6.0
Hey,
I'm trying to log a bunch of P2 clips in the P2 viewer and, while I can see a thumbnail of the clip in the left side of the screen, it won't show up in the viewer. If I hit play it appears to be progressing in the viewer, but no picture or audio shows. However it imports fine and the picture and audio is now there, but that doesn't help me actually log.
I'm running 6.0.0 on X.4.10 with QuickTime 7.2.
Ideas?
Martin+Have you updated to the latest version of FCP?+
No, I'm currently running 6.0 with QT 7.2 on OS 10.4.10. In searching the tech forums I'm finding a lot of people having problems with P2 and FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.3 (which requires OS 10.4.11) so I've steered clear.
+How have you copied the p2 volumes?+
Yes. The P2 volumes have been copied to hard drives. I'm not anywhere near the P2 cards at this point.
+Where are they located?+
LaCie 500 drives
+Did you write protect to the p2 card before copying?+
You mean on the original P2 cards? I don't know, but the files have already successfully been copied to the current hard drives. I can convert them to QT's using Log and Transfer without any trouble. What I can't do is see them in the Log and Transfer viewer before I import. I'd like to be able to do that so I can break them down into more manageable QT files on transfer.

Log and Transfer Crash FCP 6.06, from Canon Vixia HF20
I am having a strange problem in logging and transferring from FCP 6.06. I have been logging and transferring from my Canon Vixia HF20 without any problems for monthes. Then I have been granted access to a Sony HXR-NX5U NXCAM from work, I logged and Transferred from the flash memory unit HXR-FMU128, without any problems. But ever since I logged and Transfered from the sony flash unit, in attempting to log an transfer from my Canon Vixia has caused FCP to crash every single time. I then log and transfer again from the Sony Flash unit without any problems, after having dealt with the Canon transfer crashes.
Currently log and transfer from Song Flash unit always works, from Canon Vixia never works in FCO 6.06.....boooOOO!
Anyone else experience a problem like this?Hi Eugene
Seems like maybe your FCP's preferences have taken a turn for the worse ... at least I haven't heard of this being a widespread issue so I would recommend you start by using a free app like Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to make a backup copy of your current FCP user preferences, then use the same Preference Manager app to "trash" those existing prefs. Now restart FCP and see if the problem still persists .. hopefully not. If the problem is still there then you can use Preference Manager (again) to restore your previous prefs from the backup copy you made ... and you are back where you started.

Log and transfer causes FCP to crash with long clips
Hi. I am trying to import a few 2 hour+ clips using Log and Transfer from my Sony NX5. Once the destination clip has reached approx 60GB, FCP crashes every time. There is plenty of disk space left.
I have tried trashing preferences and also changing scratch disks. I am turned off time machine. I am really worried that I wont be able to get this footage onto my machine.
Any ideas?

Sony CX-160 camcorder compatible in Log and Transfer in FCP X?
Looking at Apple FCP X compatibility list and it is not on there. I know this list is not anywhere accurate. Camera is AVCHD .mts file format.
Anyone have this camcorder to confirm this first hand either way?
Thanks in advance. Do not have the FCP X yet. Just seeing what I am getting myself into.+Have you updated to the latest version of FCP?+

How to speed up Log and Transfer in FCP 7.0 of Canon 7D footage on my Macbook
Hey there,
I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0 and the Log and Transfer of my Canon 7D footage is taking forever.
I have both the Canon XF MPEG2 plugin and the Canon EOS Movie plugin.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!Are you transferring the files directly from the camera, via a USB cable?
Try taking the card out of the camera and using a good quality card reader, or better yet, try copying the camera storage card to a hard disk (preserving the complete card file structure) and then Log and Transfer from that copy on hard disk.
See if that speeds up the L&T ingest.

Whole clips not tranfering from log and transfer into FCP studio 2
720p 24p clips from P2 get cut short when transfered from log and transfer. I can play the whole clips in the log and transfer window to verify they are there but once they are brought into my project they play about half way through, then the sound drops out and the clip stops short of where it really ended. the clips in the canvas window or on the timeline when played all the way to the end are not the complete original clip? i have tried switching every setting i can think of but to no avail. any ideas out there? thanks a million
no, no in or out points set in log and capture. what's wierd is that clips shot at 24 fps are the ones running short and clips shot at 60 fps come in fine (the slow motion isn't happening but i think i can change that with cinema tools?) anyway, thanks for the suggestion
