Log and Transfer dropping or Off Lining Clips!

Folks, I need your help please.
I'm trying to Log and Transfer AVCHD files from an external HD. There are 6 Chips in total.
But when I Log and Transfer some Clips are not transferring over. EG. On 1 Chip there are 37 Clips. But only 28 were transferred. And there was no warning symbol indicating that the Clips were not transferred. It's only because I saw that there seemed to be far too few Clips in the Browser compared to the L&T window that I realised.
I can then go back and transfer them again. Sometime the transfer works. Sometimes not.
Another problem which I'm experiencing is that in the L&T process some Clips already transferred are randomly going off-line. But I can't go back and re-capture them - even though they are in the Capture folder.

Things now are just going from bad to surreally bad!
I deleted all the files from my Capture folder and started all over again.
I have 6 Chips and have set a BIN for each Chip.
I then Set Login BIN and Transfer the content of the Chip into the relevant BIN.
At first all seems to go well.
But then when I go into the BIN once all the AVCHD files have been Transferred to PR 422 LT all the Clips are muddled and jumbled up. EG I made sure that Chip 1 was Transferred fully and properly. But when I revisited it Clips 1 - 4 are nowhere to be found.
Chip 5 when transferring shows all the Clips have been transferred (Blue Circle is filled in) but instead of there being the 17 Clips that should be there there are only 6
What on earth am I doing wrong/is happening???

  • Log and Transfer won't capture entire clip...

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to log and capture clips in FCP7 from and HVX200.
    For some reason it doesn't capture the entire clip...the end gets cut off. I can see it in the log and transfer window, but when I transfer the clips, they become truncated.
    Has anyone ever had this problem?
    thanks!

    Go into the Log and Transfer prefs...that little sprocket looking drop down menu.  Choose PREFERENCES.  Uncheck "REMOVE PULLDOWN."
    Try again.

  • Log and Transfer to get the latest clips only

    I now have about 4 hours of video on my SR-12 120G hard drive. If I only want Log and Transfer to log the last hour, is there a way to do it? Now it logs ALL the disc, some 500 clips. I only want to transfer the last 25 or so for right now. Evertime I do a Log and Transfer it starts from Clip 1. Thanks.

    I can transfer the 25 to FCE like you said, what I don't want to do is see the 500 clips in the transfer window. That probably take 5 minutes of more on my system to show up before I see the newest clips, and I only have 1/4 of the Sony HDD drive full. I would like to tell it to log only clips on a certain date, or range, and then let me pick and choose out of only those 25 the ones I want to transfer to the FCE project. Thanks.

  • Log and Transfer renaming my clips

    Hello everyone,
    I have a problem with FCE - I have been using the Log and Transfer function to acquire video clips from my Sony HD cacmorder without problem until, out of curiosity (always a bad move), I clicked the 'Revert to Original Metadata' option in the Log and Transfer window.
    Now, everytime I acquire a video clip it no longer imports as the name originally in the camcorder (e.g. "Clip#150") and instead names it as the next available clip number, e.g. "Clip#188".
    I can't get this changed back and it's frustrating.
    Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it?
    Many thanks in advance.

    I'd never set up that many clips to go by themselves but that's just me.
    Comparing the length of the clips to find which are not being transferred is not right, you should be using a counter and custom names.
    Umm, wait, Log and Transfer or Log and Capture?
    I do not know that camera but the proper ingest method would be to copy the cards to yoru drive and ingest from the drive, not the camera cards.
    This ensures lots of things but also properly sets up any soaned files.
    Why a particular file does not come in from a card is often bad storage media. There may be absolutely nothing you can do about that.
    Look up the camera model, see if ayone else has had similar issues. Wait a few hours to see if ayone who has more experience with those codecs than I can offer something more helpful.

  • Exclamation mark(orange) log and transfer

    Equipment:
    13" Mac book pro 2.4GHz (baseline 2010)

    Sandisk 32gb(mem card)
    Problem:
    I am trying to log and transfer my videos off the camera and onto my computer, the videos show up and I can preview them. The problem is once I try to Q them an exclamation mark appears in the progress section(orange colour). I am recording in 720p AVCHD
    What do I do?
    Thanks,Storm

    #36 - One or More files failed to import.
    Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
    Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the camera card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the Log and Transfer Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
    What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
    ALSO...in the Log and Transfer Import window...in the Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
    ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
    ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.

  • 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.

  • Log and Transfer Problems. Vixia HF10

    If you have used this camera before. Yes the format is weird. Now I recently purchased Final Cut. And when I try to use Log and Transfer...It won't transfer. Like My Easy Setup is set to HD Apple Intermediate 1080i60.
    But when I drag the video. It gives me a red exclamation. It's connected by a usb. But it does not have a firewire cable.
    How do I get my Final Cut to transfer. It doesn't even start to transfer. It just shows the processing icon. and Then it goes to the red exclamation

    Hi -
    Verify that you are using FCE 4.0.1.
    Connect the camera via the USB cable.
    Open the Log and Transfer window.
    Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefs.jpg!
    Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
    When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/L%26TPrefsToPlainStereo.jpg!
    Now try connecting the camera and see if you can import your files via Log and Transfer.
    If there are clips on the camera memory that are recorded with different settings, this can cause problems. The clips need to be all HD clips.
    Hope this helps.

  • P2 Log and Transfer Idle After Partial Transfer

    Hello
    I am trying to transfer P2 material using Log and Transfer. There are two clips from a local production of Singing in the Rain - Act I and Act II.
    Act I transfered properly and Act II was in the process of transferring when I received a message that the drive had been disconnected. In fact it was not disconnected, but the connection between the camera and computer dropped.
    Now I have a partial Act II clip and can't seem to get the remainder to transfer. I open LT, drag the unfinished clip into the Queue, but LT stays in idle state.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you

    Thanks for the idea. Trashing didn't work, as the project seemed to have memorized the fact that the clip had already been ingested. The same partial clip symbol was present when I remounted the card.
    However, your post got me thinking about how I might be able to trash the project and start anew. Luckily, I was only fifteen minutes into the project, so I made a new project and re-transferred the card.

  • Log and transfer metadata

    Hi
    I am ingesting into FSsvr using log and transfer. I am using the media metadata set with the addition of the FCP log and capture fields.
    When I ingest clips i find that some of them (randomly it seems) do not appear to have the log and transfer metadata attached.
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Hi
    thanks for getting back to me.
    No, the metadata is only being logged as i ingest the clip using log and transfer. I click the clip, log my data in and hit the button which adds the clip to the queue.
    I have been working on a solution and the following seems to work:
    -log and transfer all my clips adding the metadata as I go
    -verify all the clips are in the project bin - save the project locally
    -verify all clips are inside the newly created production in the FCserver catalogue - some will have viewable metadata others, for some reason, do not!
    -drag and drop the FCP project into the production on FCserver, bring it in.
    -double click the FCP project and double click an asset within it (these should be automatically associated by bringing in the FCP project which was saved after LandC)
    -click on the 'final cut pro logging' tab - the Metadata should be here, even if it isnt viewable on the asset itself - i.e before it was catalogued relevant to the FCP project.
    This isnt ideal, but its a kind of work around for the time being.
    i'm going to look into mapping my own metadata.
    Thanks
    Dan

  • Camera is not Appearing in Log and Transfer Window

    Hello All,
    I feel like I should be able to solve this on my own, but I'm stuck. I've been using a Cannon HF S10 (AVCHD) for a few months. Up until about a week ago when I have connected the camera to my iMac and opened the Log and Transfer window all of the clips on the camera have appeared, but now they don't. I had this happen another time with a different camera and and after trashing the FCE preferences I was able to see the clips in the L&T window. So I trashed the FCE preferences, but this time I still do not get the clips in the L&T window.
    The camera mounts to my desktop and also appears in Finder, so I tired clicking on the "Add Folder" button on the top left corner of the L&T screen and adding "CANNON". This did not produce the clips in the L&T widow. I also tried to add the folder that is one level down labeled "AVCHD", but this did not work either.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
    Marc

    Ok...nevermind. All of the thumbnails appeared. There are a lot of clips on the camera, so I'm guessing that this is the reason for the lengthy loading time.

  • Why does Final Cut Express 4 quit automatically when I open Log and Transfer window?

         I'm using a Sony NXCAM and I am editing on a Mac OS X. The clips I have recorded are in MTS format so I understand I must use the Log and Transfer setting to import my clips. I plug the camera into my computer, go into Final Cut Express 4, turn the camera on, and then go into the Log and Transfer window. Once I open that, Final Cut quits and an error message pops up that reads, "Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly." Final Cut quits too fast for me to even click on anything in the Log and Transfer window. I really don't understand why it does this. The only thing I can think of why Final Cut is quitting is because I have over 100 clips on the camera, so maybe that is too much for Final Cut Express 4 to handle. However, I wouldn't think that would be the case. If anyone knows of anything I could do to fix this problem, then please send me a reply. I've looked around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I haven't found anything. Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated!

    Shooted videos directly saved to the SD memory card is no problem, the log and transfer window immediately recognizes the sd card and I was able to convert the videos. I will check later today if this were 25p, 50i or 50p footages.
    Strangely enough is that transferring the .mts files from the internal memory to the sd card (using the Mac finder, I don't know if it is possible within the camera itself) won’t help, the log and transfer window doesn't the recognizes the transferred files, strange!
    I hope that this problem will not occur using Final Cut Pro X, which I will start using soon.
    I'm curious what the exact problem will be.

  • 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?
    Thanks

    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.

  • 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

  • AVCHD Clips Showing Up Black in Log and Transfer Window

    I'm doing some work for a client with some footage shot on a Sony NX5U. I'm trying to ingest the AVCHD clips into FCP 7.0.3 via the Log and Transfer window. I can pull up a list off all the clips in L&T and some of the clips work. Numerous other clips though, just show a black screen and have no audio. You cannot play the video in the preview window, although the box that shows the duration of each clip does show a time for each clip selected, so it must see something there. If I try to add any of the problem clips to the transfer queue, it tries for a few seconds to transfer the clip, then it gives the error with the red exclamation mark and stops. All the other clips transfer fine.
    I'm fairly certain that the problem is something with FCP because I can load the same clips into adobe premiere without any issues. I can also watch all of the same files in VLC player, so the problem doesn't appear to be a corrupt file or anything of that sort. I've tried the same steps and had the same results with the files on a memory card and the files copied off to my hard drive. I did receive the memory card from the client and did not shoot the footage myself, so its possible that something was messed up on his end, but the file structure appears to all be in tact, as near as I can tell.
    Here are a couple things I've already tried that didn't appear to help
    --Trashing the preferences to FCP
    --Switching the transfer codec from Apple Pro Res to AIC
    --Changing the scratch disks from an external hard-drive to the internal drive
    Any suggestions anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! I have transferred footage off this camera before with no issues, so I'm not sure why it's having problems now

    we're all the files shot in the same format?  Not all formats are compatible with fcp.  If you can bring the files into premiere, you can use the adobe media encoder to convert to prores and then work with them in fcp.  The interface on the adobe media encoder is not particularly intuitive at least in CS 5.5.  I use it for this kind of thing every few months and every time I have to figure it out again.  May be early onset alzheimers, but I don't think so.

  • Log and Transfer - Clip Sorting Issue

    Hello. I have been using an AVCHD camera for some time now, and when I would use the Log And Transfer the clips would show up in the order they were recorded. I accidentally pressed a tab at the top to sort a different way, and now I can't get back to how it was. See http://dcdl.info/20100212171440.png for a screenshot. I know it has to do with how the clips are automatically named.
    If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

    Just a thought!
    Right-click on the "Name" field and check "Date Created" in the drop-down list. If you now sort using the Date Created column, will this reorder the clips as you want them? If not, are there any other options in the list that might?
