Log and Transfer Issue with JVC Camera.

Hello all,
I am using JVC GY-HM100U and Final Cut Studio (FCP7.0.3).
I have installed JVC_Plugin1_0_3.dmg as Apple recommended.
However, when I connect SD card to FCP, I can not still use 'log and transfer' of FCP.
Do you know what's the issue is?
Thank you.

The warning sign pops-up as below.
"CLIP" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
I am recording in Kingstone 16GB Class 10 SD card.-I have formatted before using it.
I am shooting with 1080 60i.
Thank you.

Log and Transfer problem with Canon DSLR

I have not been able to make Log and Transfer work with my canon 5D mrk II files. I can import the files or even drag and drop them into FCE but never have been able to get them to come in using log and transfer function. I have tried every kind of file conversion using quicktime Pro and MPEG StreamClip. Does anyone have a way of getting their files into FCE using this function?
All I ever get is this error:
"DCIM" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
My file structure from the chip is: /DCIM/100EOS5D/MVI_**.mov (and also) MVI_**.thm

have you loaded the canon plug in for final cut? this may be the simplest way for you to get those files into FCP.

Log and Transfer Errors with HF10/HF100 AVCHD Cams

Log and transfer will transfer about 80% of clips on the Canon HF10 AVCHD camcorder, but the rest receives a red exclamation icon hovering over which brings the useless explanation box "Unknown Error".
Using My Book Pro II dual HD with data stripping connected via Firewire, no speed issues there. Over 900GB is free on the drive, too. Moreover, copying the BDMV > STREAM > *.MTS structure to a DVD and then running the Log and transfer brings up the same error and nothing is transferred.
The best part is that the same clips transfer just fine using iMovie '08. It is even possible to then import them from the iMovie project folder into Final Cut and then work with them.
Hopefully some smart person has an idea what I could try. Thanks!

OK, people. Got a freaking work-around.
Select the clip in the log and transfer window *), then define your IN and OUT points for this clip, THEN hit "Add to Queue". Marked portion of the clip will import nicely. Now we just need full 1980x1020 support. Hopefully an updated FCE soon?
*) Interface of the Log and Transfer window is as beautiful as any Mac app. Why hasn't that interface lift ever made it to the rest of Final Cut? Hopefully, next version.

Log and Transfer issues

I have a 2GHz Mac Book Pro with 2 GB or ram. I use this quite a lot when shooting and editing with my Panasonic P2 (HPX2000). Usually, I log and transfer DV, DVC Pro and DVC Pro 50 files with no issues. The other day, I shot a concert in 720P and when trying to log and transfer a 40 minute video, it would not finish. It would show the file transferring, but show the exclamation point at next to it, alerting me that it had problems. I was able to transfer over small chunks and edit them together in FCP, but I wonder if this is a ram issue or something like that. Any thoughts?

#36 - One or More P2 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 P2 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 P2 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 P2 Import window...in the P2 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 /!@#$%^&*()?.

Log and Transfer Issues - Canon HF10

I have just recently acquired a Canon HF10 video camera and have had success getting some of the video to my Mac via log and transfer, however when the video files seem to be much longer than a few minutes the process fails. The status bar while it's transferring makes it all the way to 100%, but the file itself never moves up to the browser. When I click the file in the log and transfer window after the status bar has stopped moving I get a red exclamation mark with unknown error. Any help on this will greatly be appreciated.

I believe I have figured out what the issue is. I was using an old 250Gb external as my scratch drive. Well - this drive is in FAT format and I just discovered that the FAT drives are limited to 4GB limit, hence the reason I couldn't transfer my larger files. I'm planning on reformatting this drive to Journaled OSX and I should be cool.

Canon HF S20 and Express log and transfer issues

I know another thread addressed this, but there was no solution (that I found).
I get the red octagon with the ! sign in the "status" column when I try to put clips in the queue from my Canon Vixia HFS20. I'm guessing this means FCE doesn't support my brand new camera, which probably means I have to shell out the grand for FCP- which I can't because I just bought the mac, express, and the camera (broke).
any suggestions?

Hi -
Your camera should work with Log and Transfer and FCE.
Did you record your clips in either the MXP or FXP modes, and at what frame rate?
Thanks

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

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!
Brian

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

Log and Transfer problem with MXF files

Hi, folks. I've spent an hour searching the threads, but I haven't found an answer to my problem (or anyone who's had the same problem). Please help if you can!
We're using the Canon XF300 and we tested some footage a couple weeks ago. We ingested it into Final Cut Pro (7.0.3) using Log and Transfer (after installing the Canon plugin) and it all came through perfectly. Worked without a problem.
Now, we have a week's worth of field footage, captured exactly the same way, transferred to the same hard drive, exactly the same as the test footage...
See what I'm getting at? EVERYTHING has been done the same. Identical.
And yet the new footage is not being recognized in the Log and Transfer window.
Instead, this is what's happening:
What gives? Everything we're doing is identical to the testing we did a couple weeks ago. Like I said, I've searched the forums, read a couple dozen threads, followed the Creative Cow link mentioned in several of them. I must be missing something. Please fill in the gap for me. Thank you!
Like I said before, we've downloaded the Canon plugin, imported test footage at ProRes 422, watched it, edited it, enjoyed it. But now our new footage is unrecognizable by FCP. And the directory structure is identical to that of the test footage.
Sigh...

UPDATE --
The field producers transferred the footage incorrectly. They left off the master directory and went in 1 directory too far.
Yes, David, the frame rate was all the same (30p).
Russ... I imagine you were going to say something along the lines of "MAKE SURE YOU INCLUDE THE ENTIRE DIRECTORY." Leave nothing behind.
Now... the question is... can I create a new CONTENTS folder and simply drag the CLIPS folder into it?

Log and transfer problem with prores files

Working on RED project. Started several months ago. Shooting and logging as we go. Project setup on FCP, RED media converted to prores422 proxy with RED software(rocketcineX) and saved on Internal 2 TB RAID. NO problems for past 4 months. Moving prores422 proxy files into FCP via Log and Transfer. (I thought this was necessary, is it?) Anyway its working just fine. Loaded a thousand or so clips to date. Last transfer was August when brought in some P2 media. Now when I go and try to bring in the prores422 proxy clips as before suddenly I get error message of "unsupported media or invalid directory structure. This even applies to all the older files that I had already transferred by log and transfer. They worked before but now they don't. Any suggestions as to why the change? The project will be conformed back to original RED r3D files after edit. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

First, get Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (free) and trash FCP preference files. Run Disk Utility to repair all drives (Repair Permissions on OS drive). This should be done once a week, anyway. Disk Warrior would be your last resort (and should be run once a month on your drives, anyway). If Disk Warrior won't fix the problem, you have a dead hard drive. Replace it, restore from the backup you've been making of your data on a regular basis. I mean, you do have a backup that you do almost daily for such a large and important project, right?

Log and transfer issues or xml settings issues

Hi All
I dont know if this is a problem for anyone else.
This problem arises from log and transfer of red footage.
1. In version FCP6 the xml created from fcp for flame was absolutely fine.
2. Since we loaded 7 the xml keeps making the file name the folder name ...ie
A001C011040745, but when i generate my xml for flame it looks for A001_0407VQ.RDM.
I have loaded a xml from version 6 into 7 and redone the xml but its fine.
This only seems to happen with log and tx in version 7????
and this is across 4 x version fcp 7 machines.
any help will be good thanks

You said you have some FCP6 sets still.
I don't think there is a fix (other than sending [Feedback to Apple|http://www.apple.com/feedback/finalcutpro.html].
But you can do some troubleshooting yourself.
Export an XML 4 from FCP7.
Import that in FCP 6
Export an XML 4 from this new FCP6 project.
Does the FCP6XML4 import properly in Flame?
If so, then open both XMLs with a texteditor and compare the two.
You can use the free [Textwrangler|http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler> application for an automatic comparison.
It might be that Flame is choking in a header only and that changing the header will fix this. I'd also give Flame (Discreet? AutoDesk?) some feedback about this problem.

P2 log and transfer issues (6.0)

In light of the recent 6.0.2 problems, I decided to use a friend's machine to import some P2 data. He has 6.0. I imported the cards a.o.k. except for one.
Log and transfer attempts to read the data (after assigning the custom path) and after a couple seconds, final cut just quits and gives me the following error message:
"The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly. THe problem may have been caused by the libMXFSDKr.3.2.0.132.dylib plug-in."
Has anyone experienced this? What are my other options for P2 reading/transferring ?

Enzo,
ho trovato quest...ooops! Sorry
I found this in my favorite links!

Hope one option or another will help you to transfer content from that P2 card.

Log and transfer problem with cannon hf100 (AVCHD format)

Ok.. the preview look good in the log and transfer menu, but when I transfer them and click on them in the browser they play super blured, pixeled, funky.. What am I not doing?? Thanks for any help!!

Command zero will show your sequence settings.
This is kind of important.
And what did you set as destination codec in the Log and Transfer window ?
Have you read the release notes on transferring AVCHD and also any of the knowledge base articles?

Log and Transfer w/ Sony HVX - problems

I loaded the log and transfer window with all the footage and added it to queue. Once it was finished transferring every clip shot at 59.94 had a "half-circle" icon next to it, meaning some frames were not captured. Every clip is short about 16 frames.
But the stuff shot at 23.98 all came in fine and with the "full circle" icon.
Anyone seen this before?

I have resolved the issue. Let me explain what happened.
My 59.94 footage was being transfered to FCP as 23.98. Also, in the log and transfer window my clips had a "half-circle" next to them instead of the usual "full circle". The cause of this was in Preferences, the Remove Advance Pulldown and Duplicate Frames option was checked. After unchecking it, I retransfered the clips perfectly fine.
