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.

Spanned Clip will not log and transfer

The editor:
Mac Pro 10.4.11
FCP 6.0.2.
Quicktime Version 7.4.1 (14)
30 minutes of video shot to a P2 card on an HVX200 is unable to log and transfer. Plays fine in the browser and on camera.
Workflow tried:
Write protect P2 and connect HVX200 to Mac via firewire.
Set scratch disk, then log and transfer (clip says spanned).
Error (red caution sign, tried retry, same error).
Tried P2CMS to ingest footage on a firewire drive, then log and transfer, same error.
Any suggestions?

One word for ya: Raylight.
I had the same problem. I tried P2CMS, renaming, and any trick I could think of. Raylight to the rescue. It creates a "pointer" MOV file to the actual P2 media and then you simply import the Raylighted MOV files into FCP. No data loss, and way quicker than a P2 transfer.
Well worth the money.

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.

I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

Please give us more specific information -
What make/model camcorder are you using?
Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video? Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder? Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

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.

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.

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)

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.
