Log and Transfer List...

This may be a P2 noob question but...
Is there any way to clear this list?
When I click to delete, it seems it will delete the media. Am I correct?
I don't wish to do this - just to clear the queue for lack of better/correct terms.
The window has all the P2 I've ever ingested... So it's starting to be a lot to go through. Just would like the window to only contain what I've selected for that current session.
Thank you!

Are you talking about the list on the left hand side above the queue? If so select all the clips and hit the eject button. It's right beside the load button. There is no delete button in the L&T window that I know of.

  • Log and Transfer : any way to import a batch list?

    HI
    Anyone know if it's possible to import a Batch list of In/Out points (ie a txt file from Excel) to automatically populate the Log and Transfer window? (as can be done in the Log and Capture Window)
    It would help reduce the amount of data produced when converting from AVHHD.
    There's a great little app called ProxyMill that generates small QT Versions of AVCHD file with Timecode Burned In ... so offline style capture lists are certainly possible, if only I could import the resultant data!
    Thanks in advance
    Lee

    Importing a Batch List
    You can import a batch list into Final Cut Pro and use it to capture clips to edit or to create a sequence originally done on another editing system. The frame rate of the batch list is determined by the currently selected sequence preset in the Audio/Video Settings window.
    Note: A batch list must be a text file. In some cases, you may need to add the .txt file extension to your filename to ensure that Final Cut Pro can import your file.
    To import a batch list
    In the Browser, open an existing bin, or create a new bin to store the offline clips and open it.
    For more information, see “Organizing Footage in the Browser.”
    Choose File > Import > Batch List.
    Note: The frame rate of the current sequence preset appears in the Import Batch List command name. For example, if a DV NTSC preset is selected, the command is named Import Batch List at 29.97 fps.
    Locate the batch list, select it, then click Choose.
    The logged clips appear in the Browser as offline clips that you need to capture.
    You can capture the clips all at one time by doing a batch capture. For more information, see “Batch Capturing Clips.”
    Note: Make sure you have all the source tapes associated with the batch list before starting the capture process.
    If you’re having a problem importing a batch capture list, check the format of the text file. Final Cut Pro does not support importing RTF (Rich Text Format) text files. If you have an RTF file you need to import, open it in a text editing application such as TextEdit and save it as a plain text document first.

    Working with AVCHD: Log and Transfer FAQs
    Log and Transfer was introduced to the product chain in Final Cut Express 4, and is the program's process for ingesting files in the AVCHD format utilizing MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 video coding and either Dolby AC-3 or uncompressed linear PCM audio coding. The most frequently observed problems relating to the Log and Transfer process are generally quite easily addressed.
    What should I know before attempting to ingest my footage?
    The following facts regarding the Log and Transfer process were adapted from the [Apple Knowledge Base article|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24840?viewlocale=en_US] on transferring AVCHD in Final Cut Pro 6.0.1 but still hold true for the current version of FCE:
    AVCHD support is available only on Intel-based Macintosh computers.
    AVCHD camcorders typically connect to computers via USB 2.0, not FireWire.
    DVD-based AVCHD camcorders are not supported in Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier.
    Standard definition video recorded with AVCHD camcorders cannot be accessed in the Log and Transfer window. SD and HD clips should not be mixed on the same HDD.
    Preview of AVCHD video in the Log and Transfer window is limited to 1x forward playback. Scrubbing the playhead does not update the video in the Preview area until you stop scrubbing.
    When you choose to transfer AVCHD audio in the Logging area, audio is automatically mixed down to stereo.
    AVCHD footage is not ingested natively but is transcoded to the Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Apple Intermediate Codec files are significantly larger than the original AVCHD files. FCE does not estimate the size of a transcoded AVCHD file before ingesting, so it is possible to exceed the available space on your capture disk during transfer. Before ingesting, keep in mind that the disk space required is about ten times greater than the size of the native AVCHD file.
    Which specific formats can be ingested by Log and Transfer?
    Only AVCHD footage can be ingested through the Log and Transfer process. Other formats and variants such as AVCHD Lite are not supported. All video should be recorded in a frame size of either 1440x1080 or 1920x1080 and a frame rate of 25 or 29.97 frames per second. Audio recorded on AVCHD camcorders is generally at a rate of 48kHz. If your camera shoots in a format that does not comply with one of these setups then it is most likely not supported by the application and is not guaranteed to work correctly.
    Which Easy Setup preset should I select before ingesting my footage?
    It is extremely important to select the preset that matches your media before you attempt to ingest via Log and Transfer. There is only one Easy Setup preset that matches the frame size and rate of your footage. If you intend to ingest AVCHD clips through Log and Transfer you will first need to select one of the following presets:
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i50
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1440x1080i60
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i50
    AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920x1080i60
    If these four options do not appear under your Easy Setup list then you probably need to run Software Update and update to FCE 4.0.1. DO NOT cycle through the available presets until you find one that works - there is only one preset that matches your media and it should be evident which one to choose by the way it is named. Select the AVCHD preset that mentions your frame size and frame rate (i50 presets support both 50i and 25p frame rates; similarly, i60 presets support both 60i and 29.97p frame rates). If you do cycle through many options in the hope of selecting the correct one through guess-and-check you will probably have corrupted your preference file and need to [trash your preferences|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2611] before continuing.
    Why don't my clips appear when I open the Log and Transfer window?
    Make sure your camcorder records AVCHD in a format supported by FCE4. It should be connected to one of your computer's USB ports (never connect it to an external hard drive or other external device such as your keyboard or a USB hub), powered on, and set to video playback mode.
    If the camcorder +does not+ mount on your Desktop your USB port or cable may be malfunctioning. Try plugging it in to another port or using a different USB cable to see if it makes a difference.
    If the camcorder does mount on your Desktop but the clips do not appear in the Log and Transfer window you will need to point the program to the directory that contains your media.
    First, click the Add Folder button in the upper left of the Log and Transfer window. The button looks like this:
    Then, you will need to navigate to the root directory in which your media is stored. Most camcorders call this folder "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD" and it should be located at the very top level of the camcorder when mounted. If your camcorder records to a valid AVCHD directory structure then your clips should load after the Add Folder process is completed.
    I would like to keep a working backup of my original clips so that I can delete them off the camcorder's internal memory. How should I do this?
    There are two main ways to keep a backup of your clips. The first is to ingest every clip on your camcorder through the Log and Transfer process, and store the Apple Intermediate Codec files the application creates in an easily accessible place such as an external FireWire drive. The advantage of this method is that you have the ability to open back up old editing projects, reconnect the media as necessary, and keep going as if you'd never left. However, due to the large amount of space AIC takes up (usually somewhere in the vicinity of 41-50GB an hour when transcoded from AVCHD), this is not always feasible.
    Another often preferable approach is to copy over the root directory in which your clips are stored (usually named "PRIVATE" or "AVCHD") from the camcorder to your computer or an external drive. As long as you maintain the original file structure, you will be able to ingest your clips again at a later date using the "Add Folder" process detailed above to navigate to their new location.
    My clips appear, but when I attempt to ingest a red exclamation point appears and the window displays the message "Error: No Data"
    This is one of the most common problems that users experience when trying to ingest their media through the Log and Transfer process. Luckily, it also has one of the easiest solutions.
    In the Log and Transfer window, click on the gear icon in the top right and select "Preferences" in the contextual menu that appears.
    Make sure the video is set to transcode to the Apple Intermediate Codec and the audio is set to Plain Stereo.
    After doing so, hit OK and try to ingest again.
    I am experiencing a problem that is not covered in this tip or the solutions here do not work.
    The best thing to do at this point would be to trash your preferences and start a new topic in the [FCE Forum|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=936&start=0] with a detailed description of your problem.

  • Crashing after Log and Transfer

    I am experiencing a FCP crash after using Log and Transfer to import P2 files.  The material is on an external FW800 drive.  I go to Add Custom Path in the Log and Transfer dialog box, point the software to the CONTENTS folder of each captured P2 card, the list populates with the clips, I drag the files into the que, and they import as usual.  All is well and good until I X out of Log and Transfer, and when I do that, FCP crashes.  I have not experienced this when capturing directly from a camera. This has happened over and over since beginning this project, and we are still yet to get all the material into the machine for editing. 
    Also, in case it is pertinent, I am using a MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz Core i7 machine with 8GB RAM.
    Any ideas or has anyone else experienced this?  Thanks in advance!
    -Van

    First thing I'd try is trashing your preferences.  Google preference manager from digital rebellion.  It's a free download and in invaluable.  It's so cool you'll WANT to pay for it.  It allows you to store a good set of preferences, trash them when they get funky and then restore the good set, including all the cool stuff you created.
    ANYWAY,  I'm in the habit of saving every which way from Tuesday after something interesting has happened, like a capture or L&T.  I know that's not a solution, but a best practice.  hopefully a pref trash will set you right.

  • Import or log and transfer?  does it matter?

    I am a handful of .mov's I'm using for a project and usually I just left click and import the folder full of .mov's. Does that have drawbacks? Or should I log and transfer?
    or does it matter?

    Without knowing more about your setup it's hard to say. It might matter. But maybe not. But we can't tell you more - until you tell us more.
    See, when you refer to files simply as ".mov's" that doesn't tell us much. That just means that QT is going to want to play them back. But it says nothing of the real codec behind the movies. Meaning, the movies could be DVCPro, DVPro HD, DV, AVCHD, ProRes, AVI's, H.264, mp4...the list goes on and on.
    So FCP is tuned to work with some of these codecs better than others. Telling us more about what going on "under the hood" with those .mov's will help us to guide you better.

  • Log and Transfer Window unable to access all the files that were stored a P2 card

    I have a 64gb P2 card that was filled to capacity (63.09gb) on a recent shoot with a Panasonic HPX170 camcorder.  An addlitional 16gb card was in the second slot.
    I transferred the files from the 64gb P2 card to my iMac as usual, and did not see any files to transfer on the second card.  When accessing those files in FCP 6.0 I only see part of the files with the last one listed as "incomplete".  Four files that I see in the P2 card transfer folder do not show up in the Log and Transfer.   The LASTTEXT Clip file was transferred with a 3:07pm time, the inaccessible files end with a 3:06pm time.
    I have the original 64gb P2 card in tact so I re-transferred all contents to my computer and into a new folder.   When I opened a new project to see if I could access all the files, only the files I previously was able to access came up. 
    Have I created a FCP Log and Transfer and just need to reset something in FCP?  Is there a way to recover the data/restore a path to the data via FCP so I can access all the  files or is that a Panasonic issue? 

    Oy,  If it's the second or first half of a spanned clip that's missing, FCP will not import, and the camera cannot repair.  There is nothing to repair, according to the camera. Files are just missing.
    There are third party MXF software options that allow FCP to import the P2 files natively, without converting to QT.  I wonder if they will see the MXF files, or if they too need the complete file to do so.  I think most have demos. 
    Calibrated Softare has MXF import:

  • Sony CX-160 camcorder compatible in Log and Transfer in FCP X?

    Looking at Apple FCP X compatibility list and it is not on there.  I know this list is not anywhere accurate.  Camera is AVCHD .mts file format.
    Anyone have this camcorder to confirm this first hand either way?
    Thanks in advance. Do not have the FCP X yet.  Just seeing what I am getting myself into.

    +Have you updated to the latest version of FCP?+
    No, I'm currently running 6.0 with QT 7.2 on OS 10.4.10. In searching the tech forums I'm finding a lot of people having problems with P2 and FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.3 (which requires OS 10.4.11) so I've steered clear.
    +How have you copied the p2 volumes?+
    Yes. The P2 volumes have been copied to hard drives. I'm not anywhere near the P2 cards at this point.
    +Where are they located?+
    LaCie 500 drives
    +Did you write protect to the p2 card before copying?+
    You mean on the original P2 cards? I don't know, but the files have already successfully been copied to the current hard drives. I can convert them to QT's using Log and Transfer without any trouble. What I can't do is see them in the Log and Transfer viewer before I import. I'd like to be able to do that so I can break them down into more manageable QT files on transfer.

  • 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.

  • Canon HG20 Log and Transfer at 24mbps

    Quick question for those familiar with the camera. I posted this morning and decided to buy an HG10 after getting some helpful info from someone. For $69 more, I can get the HG20 with the larger hard drive and slightly greater zoom, as well as 1980x1020 videos verses the 1440 on the HG10.
    So my question, is there any problem doing Log and Transfer for conversion to AIC or ProRes with this camera at the highest setting of 24mbps in Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. I will be using my iMac listed below. I checked the supported devices on the Apple site and did not see the HG20 but I did see the HG10, and all of its cousins.
    Thank you very much to all who answer!

    Hey man, I'm running FCE4.0HD on my MacBook. I have been recording EVERYTHING in 24mbps so far, and I've been having no issues what-so-ever transferring the AVCHD video via log&transfer on FCE4.0HD (Final Cut Express 4). I also have the Canon HG20. I also have done my research on the Apple support site and saw the exact same thing you did. But like I said, I haven't had any problems with it so far. I'm not too sure as for FCP6.0, but if it supports the log&transfer method for AVCHD -- I think you're good.

  • RED Log and Transfer

    Has anyone used the new Log and Transfer plug in that you can download from red.com ?
    I am running FCP 6.0.3 and have downloaded the plug-in, I cant seem to view any clips within the log and transfer window.
    Also since I have downloaded the plug-in I cant Log and Transfer P2 footage anymore.
    Does your easy set up have to be set for the way your files you wish to view have been shot?
    If anyone has any info on this subject, I would love to hear your thoughts!
    Thanks,
    Jesse

    You have to download/install the Quicktime codec (Final Cut Studio 2 REDCODE plugin) as well as the RED Log & Transfer plug-in and make sure you meet minimum OS/software configurations for your Intel Mac. I don't recall having to create a setup first; it's always just worked like a piece of cake for me. You might try creating a custom setup: if you're working with 4k source clips, you want a size of 2048 x 1024 (2:1) and you'll be transcoding to Apple ProRes 422 HQ. If your RED was shot 2k, your aspect ratio can be 2:1 or 16:9. In log & transfer, when you navigate to the folder with your R3D files, they should show up in the list with thumbnails. In Import Preferences,uncheck "Remove advanced pull-down and duplicate frames" and select the RED plugin and transcode to Apple ProRes 422. Selected clips can be played, in and outs entered, logging notes, etc. Once added to the Queue,they'll start transcoding. The P2 problem might be because you need to reselect P2 as the source in the Log & Transfer import preferences. Hope this helps.

  • Having Trouble importing? No Video's in Log and Transfer?

    I have video footage's in my HD camera, and I want to import it to Final Cut, so first I got to Easy Setup and set the format to HD and set the ''use'' to HDV 1080i60. Then I open up Log and Transfer and they are no clips. There's just a blank row/list of no video's? Where are my video's?
    And if I go back to Easy Setup, everything is all messed up, like the format is set to AVCHD. Everything is all different from how I set it before. What is going on?

  • Canon HF-10: Log and Transfer AVCHD Problem

    When I try to Log and Transfer clips from my HF-10 on my Mac Pro (Intel, Dual-Quad Core) I get the following message "AVCHD media is unsupported on PowerPC based hardware." even though the machine is an intel-mac.
    When I do it on my Mac Book Pro (Intel, Dual-Core) it works fine in Log and Capture.
    Can someone please tell me how to correct this issue on my tower? I've followed the steps listed on this document: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7194922#7194922 and it didnt help me.
    Please help!!!!

    Not until you've searched the data base on that camera with the link I provided. You probably should search this forum and the forum at http://www.creativecow.net (the FCP forum there) on your camera and on AVCHD etc. But sure sounds like a software problem... the machine seems to be sending the signal to FCP that it is a PPC and not an intel... so I'd guess that to be a software install error of some sort. But it's a guess... That's why I suggested the reinstall to rule that out or fix you up...

  • How do I select ProRes 422 on Log and Transfer window?

    I went to preferences in upper right of log and transfer window, saw ProRes 422 was listed there but, still not seeing my clips after ingest say ProRes 422.
    I have Capture preset also set to ProRes 422 in FCP 6.06

    Yes, it only has that choice of ProRes 422 but, its not in that format after ingest.
    I select TRANSCODE TO and it only has Apple ProRes 422 check marked.
    Format says HDV1080p30 under compressor column in my log in Bin not ProRes422.
    Wish I knew why its not importing correctly.
    24p imports and converts to ProRes422 perfectly but, Im in 30p on this project.

  • Log and transfer not working

    I am attempting to ingest footage from my SDHC cards that is in a .mov format. Nothing happens. When I attempt to select the path to the files I'm told it is an improper or unsupported format. Any suggestions?

    Did you install the EOS Log and Transfer plugin? You must if you want FCP to work with Canon DSLR through log and transfer.
    THis tutorial link has links to the Canon site. You have to choose your OS, and then it'll appear in a list.

  • AVCHD and Log and transfer problems

    Ok a while back we purchased a Sony NX5 and until now I haven't had to shoot any major projects with it. But every so often I have been shooting bits and pieces for our stock library. However we also have a secondary JVC GY-HM100 camera that can use the same SD cards as the NX5. So sometimes I'd shot onto a SD card in the NX5 and maybe swap it over to the JVC on another occassion.
    Well I started to run into some issues that I initially thought was a result of using the same card in both cameras. The issues were that when I brought the NX5/AVCHD rushes in FCP through Log and Transfer the clip numbers wouldn't make sense, either I'd end up with duplicates or they would suddenly jump by 200-300 increments.
    So to try and get to the bottom of this I shot an interview last night, but before starting I fomatted the 32Gb SD card in the NX5. The only thing that happened thereafter was at one point in the proceedings I lost power to the camera (loose cable), but it was not while recording.
    So this morning I pull the rushes into FCP via Log and Transfer (L&T). The way I personally do this is to copy the whole AVCHD folder on the SD card onto my Mac hard drive and thereafter point L&T to that loctaion. Incidentally when I did copy the AVCHD folder across, inside there were 38 files in the STREAM folder starting at 00000.MTS going up to 00037.MTS.
    So next I fire up FCP and point the L&T windon at said AVCHD folder on my hard drive. At this point inside the L&T window it is showing 76 clips (not 38), ie for the first half of the list it shows clips 1 - 38 followed by (further down the list) another 1 - 38 again. Both sets of clips seem identical according to what I can see on the little thumbnails.
    So none the less I let L&T convert them to ProRes and guess what clip numbers it produces in my FCP Browser window? Clips 3 - 38 followed by Clips 290 - 329. Ironically clips 328 and 329 are the same as clips 290 and 291... which also happen to be the same missing clips 1 and 2 from the 3 - 38 range.
    This is just driving me nuts, I can't possibly work on major projects with this going on!
    I have to shoot 2 more interviews tonight so can someone give me an idea of what is happening and how I can correct it?

    Thanks... and rats! Do you know whether something like Clipwrap will resolve my issues, or some other flavour thereof?
    Thanks again, at least I know that it's not me doing something ultra dumb!
