Log and Transfer from FTP?

I am trying to Log and Transfer video from an FTP connection. Unfortunately, FCP does not seem to be able to accept my CyberDuck connection as a valid path.
Is there any solution out there that will allow me to directly Log and Transfer video from an FTP server?

Thanks for your response.
Downloading first works fine; I'm just trying to avoid that additional step.
I also don't want our editors to having to deal with an extra version of the material. Is there a 'delete after transfer' option somewhere that I'm missing? That would at least take care of the extra version problem.

  • Must I "Log and Transfer" from Canon HG 10?

    I have a Canon HG 10 (which is an HDD camcorder) and I'm using a 2.2 ghz macbook pro with OS 10.5.6. I can open the camera's disk image on my desktop and copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and everything seems to be there. Question: can I simply navigate to the video clip folder and import the clips into FCE, or would it be more complicated?
    In the past, if I copy the "AVCHD" folder to my hard disk, and then make a disk image out of it, imovie has treated the disk image like a camcorder (I haven't tried this yet with FCE), but I'd rather not have to make the AVCHD folder into a disk image-- doesn't seem like this should be necessary. Thanks

    I want to keep a duplicate of the camera's information, before it is imported into FCE. I can log and transfer from the camera, but I'd like to keep an exact duplicate of the video camera's disk information on another hard disk even after it has been deleted from the camera. Also, it seems to not take nearly as long to open the camera's disk image and copy the files than it takes to log and transfer into FCE, from the camera, so apparently I don't have to keep the camera connected to the computer as long as long as I can retrieve the files from the copy later.

  • Log and transfer from MRC1?

    Trying to log and transfer from my MRC1. Ive downloaded the plug in. When I pull up log and transfer and try to " add custom path " Im selecting sony plug in device, I assume this is correct. Sony plug in device then appears in top line of new window but under that the video info is not highlighted it is dimmed out, like it is not available to select. Any help would be appreciated.

    Try using MPEG STREAMCLIP

  • Log and Transfer from network volume causes FCE to crash

    I have copied the contents of an SD taken from a Canon HF100 to a volume mounted on my network. Originally, this was only intended as a means of back-up but I found I needed to capture additional footage so I navigated to the volume in the Log and Transfer window and began ingesting clips. The first clip worked just fine but the Log and Transfer window hung about 1/3 of the way into the second. I can preview all the clips in the L&T window but the program crashes when I ingest. The clips vary in length but that does not seem to be a factor in the problem. I tried this on both a Tiger machine and a Snow Leopard machine with the same results. iMovie was able to ingest the footage over the network without the same problem. Ultimately I moved the footage back to a local drive and transferred from there without any issues at all. This issue involves a great many layers but if anyone has had a similar issue I would be interested to hear.

    We just had a longish discussion about networks and capture/editing.
    Bottom line:
    The slowest component in the network stream is the speed the network runs and not necessarily both ways. Check the specs of your specific gear.
    I suspect this to be your problem. Here's a short extract.
    Networking Limitations:
    * When accessing the WD My Book World hard drives remotely using MioNet/WD Anywhere Access, please be aware that the transfer rate will be limited by whatever the slowest connection is. For instance, upstream rates for home users is typically no more than 512Kbps, even if the downstream rate is 4Gbps.
    * If there is heavy I/O load put on the network and WD My Book World hard drive, it is recommended that a static IP address be used rather than DHCP.
    Another thing of note was to use CAT 6 cable.

  • I'm trying to log and transfer from a pro res file (HQ) final cut s7 is telling me it is an unsupported format. What the?

    i have a 58 min pro res hq file that is a .mov. it is in a folder on my hdd. i'm trying to syn rushes by logging and transferring clips from this file but i cannot bring the said file into log and transfer. final cut putsup a window that tells me the file is in an unsupported format. and to bring in a file with a supported pathway. this i do not understand. any simple explanation as to what i'm missing?

    Thanks meg. I'm trying not to have to sync all the rushes in a timeline. All rushes are in the one 58 min prores file. I wanted to, I guess, log and capture the rushes as clips that I logg in the log and transfer winnow and that it would then log and sort out the material as proxy files. I'm guessing I'm just being lazy or it can't be done. Thanks for the reply but I was looking for a differentbway round than a straight import of the whole file.

  • Log and Transfer from Canon Legria HF M36

    Hello everyone,
    I write from Italy.
    I have a big problem. I can not successfully import video clips from my camcorder Canon Legria HF M36 into Final Cut Pro using Log and Transfer with any setting. If I get same clips in iMovie 09 I get clips into Apple Intermediate code, good. If I use the same clips in Final Cut Pro 7.0 video looks rough. I do not know what to do. Who can help me?
    Thank you very much
    Giovanni Losacco

    That camera is confusing me when I look it up on BandH. Is it HD or SD?
    It sends to SD card, yes? What format are you bringing it in as? I'd try Apple ProRes LT to start. See if that works.

  • Log and transfer from HDR-SR11 Sony

    Dear All,
    I am trying to import a video from a HD CAMERA HDR-SR11, but the size of the imported video is too heavy, I am getting 1GIGA per minute. Does anyone know how to reduce the file size during the importing process, perhaps reducing the quality?
    The format that I am getting is Apple ProRes 422, 1440 x 1080 (1920 x 1080), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz.
    Thanks a lot for helping.
    All the best,
    Nicko

    Shouldn't be the same size of the file in the camera?
    Hey Nicko,
    No mate. The camera format is a heavily compressed MPEG4 variant (AVCHD). This is a modern acquisition format, and not a camera native edit format supported directly within FCP. The AVCHD support offered by FCP is through Log and Transfer which transcodes the files to a more edit friendly format that you can work with. The choices at present are AIC and ProRes. You could recompress them again if you wanted to a more compressed (smaller) format, but you'd lose time and quality, and disc space is cheap these days.

  • Log and Transfer from HDD question

    Hi, I am trying to capture footage from my friend's HDD camcorder (JVC GZ-MG30U) which is connected to my MacBook Pro via USB cable. When I select Log and Transfer I do not see any clips displayed in the window. iMovie seems to have no trouble displaying the footage. Thanks

    Thanks Tom.
    Any harm in doing it pretty frequently? Not that i'd definitely need to. But i'm wondering if i'd have issues with permissions or anything else from "installing" and "uninstalling" it a bunch of times.
    As a side note. The HD video quality is fantastic now tht i'm actually able to use the video from the camcorder. However, these renders and transfers take quite a while! I wonder how much more efficient a MBP would be. Hmmm.
    Thanks again for the help. I definitely would have never guessed that!

  • Log and transfer from canon xf100 footage - only 2/3rds transferring

    Hi
    Have looked at all the discussions around log and transfer, but am confused as to why many go through brilliantly, but about a third have an 'error unkown!' sign. Why sould some go through and others not? What can I do about this?
    Any suggestion welcome
    Chloe

    I haven't run into this problem with this format. Do you mean that typically a third of tthe Log &Transfers fail or that a third of the clips in an L&T typically fail to import?

  • Log and Transfer from Canon HFs100

    I have connected my Canon HFS100 via usb cable to my mac and am able to use log and transfer to import/convert most of the clips. The problem I have is that it will not convert about 10% of the clips for some reason.
    I am able to view and play the clips that are not able to be converted in the player in the log and transfer window, but when I add them to the queued section to convert them it tries to convert them and then fails. I get the Red Stop sign with exclamation point.
    All video was shot one after another and nothing different was done.

    Deleting FCP Preferences:
    Open a Finder window. Set the view mode to columns:
    Click the house icon that has your name next to it.
    Click the folder "Library" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Preferences" in the next column.
    Find and click the folder "Final Cut Pro User Data" in the next column.
    Move the files "Final Cut Pro 6.0 Prefs", "Final Cut Pro Obj Cache" and "Final Cut Pro Prof Cache" to the Trash and empty it.
    Note: For FCP 7 the file will be called "Final Cut Pro 7.0 Prefs", obviously.

  • 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.

  • AVCHD log and transfer - Only from a camera?

    I am thinking about upgrading my camera to a AVCHD camera.  I saw on a post that you can only log and transfer AVCHD footage from the camera and not just the card attached via card reader.  Can someone shed some light on this.  I want to be able to shoot, transfer/backup onto an external HDD and then Log and Transfer from the drive.  I want to keep the camera busy out in the field and not tied up on my desk.
    Thanks community!

    When using card readers make sure it supports the larger capacity cards or at least the size card you are using.

  • FCP7 Log and Transfer, Unsupported Media . . .

    Last night I used two different SDHC cards in my Canon Vixia HFS100.  FCP7 will import clips via Log and Transfer from one, but not the other.  It just ignores everything on it (but I have 1.4 GB of recordings on it). 
    When I copy the card to a hard drive and point Log and Transfer to that folder, I get the message "CANON contains  unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure"
    Before using this card, I did a full initization of the card.  I compared the directory structures of the two.  They appear identical.  I haven't messed with either in the Finder.
    How do I tell what is wrong?  How do I fix it?  Or should I just try converting with something like Voltaic?  I'm an FCP beginner.  So, I would rather not stray too far from its work flow.
    Thanks!

    On the card that you are having trouble with:
    1) make sure there are no still images
    2) make sure there is no non-hd video (log and transfer works with AVCHD HD video clips, not MPEG SD clips)
    3) if possible, all the hd video clips should be of one quality/size/format setting
    4) in the log and transfer window, click on the gear shaped icon in the top center of the screen to set the Log and Transfer Preferences:
    Set the Import Preferences for AVCHD to Plain Stereo:
    Click OK, then restart FCP, reconnect the camera and try again.

  • 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.

  • 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.
