Log and transfer idle

I have Juast got FCE4 upgraded to do HD. I'm trying to log and transfer my AVCHD footage.  I changed my video and audio prefences. all my cips show up but if i try to play them they crash FCE.  If i try to transfer them it lookes like its loading and than gives me the red sighne with the exclamation mark and sais clip queued -Idle

Have you used Software Update to make sure your copy of FCE is updated to version 4.0.1?

  • 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 keeps going on idle... and won't load my clips

    Final Cut Express has my video footage on there. But when I try to log and transfer it, it will have the spinny arrow thing that makes it look like it's loading clips but then it will stop and go on idle.
    I have no idea what to do. I just put Final Cut Express on my computer the other day and this is the first time I am using it on this computer.
    I already trashed my preferences, thinking that was the problem but I am totally at a loss. Please help. Thank you!!

    There is lots of existing info on this forum about capturing AVCHD from Canon cams. Try a search.
    Usually the trouble is in the Log and Transfer window settings.
    Switch to Plain Stereo rather than the default Matrix setting.

    Take your question to the Final Cut studio forum. This is FCPX.

    Lion and FCE are not supported working together.
    I'd suggest getting your mate to step your Mac back to Snow Leopard or Leopard with a clean install rather than a migration.
    Then install FCE from the Disc.
    Or move to FCPro X that is Lion supported.
    FCPro X is nothing like FCE, so you have to re-learn.

  • 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.

  • This has NEVER happened to me before: Idle during Log and Transfer

    All of a sudden, when I try to log and transfer HD video from my Sony HDR-CX550 my clips just idle in the queue - they start to spin but then idle. I have dropped clips in the queue 100 times, 200, without this ever happening. The only thing I did a bit different was delete some footage from the camera itself last night - but that's NOTHING. I tried queueing up different clips from different days, IDLE.
    I tried queueing up to different drives - IDLE
    Wussup??

    Open finder to the top level, there you will see your applications folder.  Drag this folder to the finder sidebar.

  • Canon HF20 - Issue w/ Log and Transfer in FCE

    I just bought Final Cut Express 4, How do you know if you have the most up to date version? How do you upgrade?
    The Video shows up, but it WILL NOT "log and transfer" I have tried to drag it down and drop it in and it acts like it will process it, but it will say 1 Clip Queued - Idle, The status then shows up as a Red Octagon with an exclamation mark.
    I will do anything for answers,
    the only way I can get video into fce so far is by uploading it to imovie then importing it in...
    ANY Help- PLEASE!!!

    Perian = I do not have that downloaded. Should I?
    The only way I could get video into FCE is through importing it in. When the video plays in the canvas, the video is huge and I only get a portion of the screen....It looks really zoomed in. I'll gladly paypal you anything if you can help me through these beginer issues.

  • Log and transfer with Panasonic HDC-HS100

    I recently purchased the Panasonic HDC-HS 100, that is a hybrid SD card/HDD. I am having problems importing my footage onto my computer. When opening the log and transfer window in FCP, it does not recognize the camera (error messages indicate there is an invalid directory structure). Also, the media has been saved to my computers hard drive. How do I get this footage on my computer so I can start editing! Thanks for the help.

    Hi David - I'm actually having the exact same problem:
    Have the HDC-HS100, trying to import the internal files into Final Cut Express 4 using the "Log & Transfer" program. I've tried several times to "Add Clip to Queue" but it continuously says "1 clip queued - idle."
    And help would be much appreciated. Just got back from a 2-month trip to Central America with some great footage that I can't even touch!

  • Why is there an 'Error: No Data' sign when importing in Log and Transfer?

    Hello,
    I am trying to import clips from my Panasonic HDC-SD100 camcorder into Final Cut Express 4. I am using the Log and Transfer window and am able to import most of my clips. However, every time I import there are a handful of clips that are left idle and an 'Error: No Data' sign appears next to them. They have not been imported to the Scratch Disk, and yet there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with them because they playback on the viewing screen in the Log and Transfer window. Can anyone help me to determine what is wrong?
    Many thanks.

    Some of the descriptions you are using are kind of confusing.
    "first 2 controls of each DO line(s)"
    "button 1 of DO lines 1 and DO lines 2"
    "control 2 of DO lines 1 and DO lines 2"
    What is the difference between "button 1" and "control 2".  I am going to assume you mean the same thing when you say "button" vs. "control" but just decided to change terminology in mid-sentence
    You need to write out a Truth table to describe what you need done.  The way you have the description written, you are already using the word "OR" to describe the different situations.  That is going to be a key part of your program.
    This shows:
    (DOlines button1 AND button2)  OR
    (DOlines2 button1  AND button2) OR
    (DOlines button1 AND DO lines2 button1)  OR
    (DOlines button2 AND DO lines2 button2)

  • I cannot log and transfer videos larger than 4 gb

    I have final cut express 4.0.1, Macbook pro intel core duo 2 ghz, 2 gb ram, Canon HF100.
    I saved my raw video onto a external drive, which is also my scratch disk. I have been able to log and transfer short videos fine. When I try to do this for longer videos, I get an exclamation point on my long and transfer window and my clip transfer is in idle.
    I have noticed that when the long videos (over 5 min) are transferring, their sizes get bigger but then max out at 4 GB.
    My audio is set to plain and I have the latest OS. I also changed my recording settings to match my playback settings = RT safe, video quality dynamic, frame rate dynamic.
    Please help.

    How is the external formatted?
    It should be Mac OS Extended.
    Most drives are pre-formatted to suit Windows FAT32, file sizes are restricted if so.

  • Log and transfer debauchery!

    At first, log and transfer just crashed FCP on my MacBook Pro (just purchased this week). Then I was able to at least keep FCP up but log and transfer would not "see" any AVCHD footage I had on the computer. Then, log and transfer could see the footage but when I tried to add it to the queue, the clip render never started, became idle...then a red exclamation point appear where the status arrows circle around.
    I have uninstalled FCP several times using FCP Remover and then reinstalled. Either I am not installing correctly or my software is bunk! I installed my original FCP (4) and then the upgrade to Studio 2 each time. Am I missing something obvious?!?
    Thanks in advance!

    I installed my original FCP (4) and then the upgrade to Studio 2 each time. Am I missing something obvious?!?
    You don't need to do that. Just install the upgrade and enter the serial # that came with it. It will then prompt you to enter the serial from the full retail copy of FCP 4.
    Then, log and transfer could see the footage but when I tried to add it to the queue, the clip render never started,
    Is the directory structure of the AVCHD card completely intact or do you just have the folder with the clips in it? You need that full directory structure. In other words, the entire contents of the card.

  • LOG and TRANSFER stall with Sony MRU unit

    Hi- LOG AND TRANSFER of my 1.5 hour footage only gets to about 10% of import then goes "idle".
    Any thoughts?
    thanks in advance!

    I may not be of much help, but at least I know what you are talking about camera-wise as I have a Z7U also.
    It is rare I have a problem with capture but when I do it is all or nothing, not 10% then goes idle.
    The few times I have had problems was when I tried to record to tape at the same time and had it set so the buttons were pushed separately so I could keeping recording on the compact flash over those seconds when I had to change tapes. So now I just have them synced together and set up another camera (unmanned if necessary) to record during changing tapes so I will have audio, then if I don't like the video on it, shoot some cut-away with the Z7U camera that I can use during that short space.
    More to your point, under Final Cut System Settings, you don't have the Limit Capture box checked do you?
    Has it ever worked for you?
    I used to have pretty much your same machine and it worked, using FCP 6.0.6

  • Problem with Log and transfer using AVCHD

    Hello,
    I was wondering if I can get help. I use a Canon Vixia HF S200 and FCP Version 6.0.6
    I have produced projects on my MacBook Pro 2.33 Ghz Intel Core 2 using this process before with no problems in the past. This problem just started and I dont know what has changed. When I open the Log and Transfer (LT) window I can see and hear all my video from the AVCHD folder in my harddrive just fine, I can scrub with no prob.... But when I add clip to Queue I get an red circle with exclamation on my status.
    I have changed the settings on the preferences to Apple intermediate Codec and the audio to plain stereo.. no luck there, the video still will not transfer to my bin.
    I have made sure that the toggle Queue state was the little arrow instead of the paused icon...no luck there either... i got a message that says clip queued transferring but nothing is happening.
    I will appreciate your help!
    Also I didn't mean to tread jack earlier, please accept my apologies, if anybody saw that...

    OK!!!!! This seriously cost me 1 day of my life that I'll never get back!!! lol
    So I was able to bring the footage in on to Imovie...Yes, I was that desperate...deadlines do that!
    Edited the entire project there...kinda sucked...
    Then I had the bright idea that if I was able to bring the videos in to Imovie, on my local HD...than something may be wrong with my scratch disk that I use on FC...its a USB disk, specs =slow.
    So I changed the scratch disk and yes "Davi S" for good measure I also deleted the Pref files.
    So it working again...here I go editing on FC after I edited the entire project on Imovie...
    Thanks for all your help!

  • Log and Transfer to edit... How do I save to a hard drive?

    I have a new Canon XA10, and I use Log and Transfer to download my videos to my computer and edit. How do I save them onto an external hard drive as to not take up so much space on my computer?

    I was going to say to set up your scratch disk, but you are using FCPX, and this is the FCS forum... I don't know how the other program functions so you'll want to post in the correct forum.
