Log and Transfer - loss of preview window

I have managed to make the preview pane in the Log and Transfer window disappear and I can't work out how to get it back.
To expand the left hand side of the L and T window I dragged the right-hand side divider towards the preview pane. As the divider started to overlap the preview area the pane disappeared never to return even though I have tried dragging the divider back again from the right side of the L and T window.
Does anyone know how to get it back?
Thank you.
John

Thank you.
I know what you mean and can see the Logging and Import Settings boxes you describe in FCP running on a different machine but on my Macbook the whole right hand side of the L&T window has gone, including all the logging data entry places below the preview area.
If you wanted to mimic this try dragging to the right the divider between the list of clips on the L&T window's left side and the logging area on the right. You will see the preview window and logging area disappear before you've dragged very far. If you let go of the mouse button at this point they seem to disappear for good, or at least as far as I can tell. I don't recommend letting go though as I can't find any handle to grab so I can't find or drag the divider back to the left to reinstate them.

Can't get preview/logging window to open in Log and Transfer

Hello- Running FCP7 on Mac Duo Quad Core Nehalem, OS 10.6.
Hopefully really simple solution to this. Doing a Canon 5D workflow in FCP. So bring in via Log and Transfer. I've got the plug-in installed.
Up to this point it's been going smooth - open up log & transfer, select volume/files, everything's loaded in and up UNTIL tonight, the righthand side preview and logging windows have also opened up, and I've done my viewing and clip naming in there. But for some reason it's now opening up the just lefthand side volume browser and drag down transfer window, but NOT the righthand side. Any ideas?
Thanks, Nick.

Hi -
Did you accidentally swipe it to the side?
There is a pane size bar in the middle of the window, if that gets dragged to the right the preview window will be hidden:

Grab it with your cursor and pull it back to the center

Canon HF10 avchd file will not transfer in Log and Transfer window

Hello-
I just installed Final Cut Express 4 on my MacBook (intel core due with 4gigs ram... running snow leopard/ 10.6.1) and I cannot get any video to load in from my Canon Vixia HF10. When using the Log & Transfer window my camera is recognized and I see and can preview all the clips that are on the camera (attached via. USB). All video is shot at the highest quality FX rate. When I add a clip to the "Que" the wheel spins for about 10 seconds then it says '1 clip queued' and an orange "!" appears. If I hover over the icon it says 'failed- no data'.
I am using the apple intermediate HD codec 1060i and stereo audio. I have re-installed FCE, removed preferences files, rebooted the computer, restarted and reconnected the camera etc... and no luck.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. I have seen a smattering of others with a similar issue but no resolution that works.
Thanks for your help!

I cannot get FCE to recognize my m2ts (AVCHD) files either. It seems FCE, like iMovie, will import directly from the camera but it will NOT import m2ts files already off-loaded from the camera onto a drive on your computer or network. Some have said it will work ONLY if the entire file set, including the support files the camera creates in addition to the video file itself, is present at the time you attempt the transfer. Worse, Canon's software that most people use to transfer the video files from the camera do not also transfer these support files. It may be doable if you connect the camera and transfer the entire file and folder structure as-is but that's only a guess.
If you are like me who offloaded these files long before I purchased my MAC (and did not also offoad the support files), you may be out of luck. This caveat to working with AVCHD files is a subtle distinction that Apple should clear up, especially since it is prominently highlighting this new capability. I was in the Apple store and viewed the product with a sales associate BEFORE the purchase. The sales associated looked at the Log and Transfer utility and also thought this would work-- so I bought FCE on the spot.
If anyone knows how to import previously off-loaded m2ts files directly into either iMovie or FCE, I would like to hear how it is done. Please note that I have been down the file conversion route too. Toast 10 de-synced the audio and other file converters left horrible jagged edges to moving pictures. De-interlace programs made it worse. Most conversions will introduce some corruption or undesireable artifact.
Others have said, boo hoo, AVCHD is a garbage codec that the pros will not touch and Apple shouldn't either. OK but Apple is attempting to sell its computers to the average Joe and people who like SIMPLICITY. Would be nice if Apple better supported AVCHD "for the rest of us."

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.

Missing Log and Transfer Clip Browsing window

Help!!!
I was using log and transfer to import videos. My daughter came along and clicked somewhere in the log and transfer window. Now all I see is the right handside pane of a particular clip. I lost the left hand side where I see the list of clips from my media. How do I get it back?
Thanks

Canon HF11 not showing up in log and transfer window

I am using FC Studio 6.0.6 and a Canon HD USB camera. The camera does not show up in the log and transfer window. It shows up on the desktop, works with iMovie '09 but not FCP. If I try to select files from the camera they are greyed out. Strange thing is is that it works fine on my iMac just not my MBP. I have trashed the FCP and Quicktime preferences but this did not help. HELP please.

I also am wondering what you mean by "file structure"? Do you mean the AVCHD files or something in FCP?
If you look for a particular file on a drive, there's a file structure or "path" to get to it. For instance;
Macintosh HD > Users > Nick > Documents > FCP > Projects > My latest project.
If I don't follow that path, I won't get to the file I am looking for.
Similarly, Final Cut Pro is expecting to see a certain path to the actual video files on your camera's Flash drive. If a folder name along the way is missing or had it's name changed, the path is no longer valid.

Camera is not Appearing in Log and Transfer Window

Hello All,
I feel like I should be able to solve this on my own, but I'm stuck. I've been using a Cannon HF S10 (AVCHD) for a few months. Up until about a week ago when I have connected the camera to my iMac and opened the Log and Transfer window all of the clips on the camera have appeared, but now they don't. I had this happen another time with a different camera and and after trashing the FCE preferences I was able to see the clips in the L&T window. So I trashed the FCE preferences, but this time I still do not get the clips in the L&T window.
The camera mounts to my desktop and also appears in Finder, so I tired clicking on the "Add Folder" button on the top left corner of the L&T screen and adding "CANNON". This did not produce the clips in the L&T widow. I also tried to add the folder that is one level down labeled "AVCHD", but this did not work either.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
Marc

Ok...nevermind. All of the thumbnails appeared. There are a lot of clips on the camera, so I'm guessing that this is the reason for the lengthy loading time.

My Log and Transfer window is not displaying properly in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3

I installed an add-in to import files from a Canon FX-100 camera. When I tried to work with some files that had been recorded on this camera, the left panel of the Log and Transfer screen disappeared. Nothing that I have tried - stretching or expanding the window, restarting the Final Cut, or the Mac have worked.

This forum is for FCP X only.
You need the Final Cut Studio forum for legacy FCP.
Try trashing the preferences with this free app.
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP , open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP .

AVCHD Import Error In Log And Transfer Window

Hey,
I just bought FCE4 and also a canon hf100 camera. When i try to ingest clips from the camera (in avchd format) with the log and transfer window an error icon comes up and says : "error: no data" and the file is not successfully imported. I tried switching my audio preferences to normal stereo instead of matrix but that did not help.
Any help would be great!
Jackson

What format exactly did you shoot with that camera? What settings are you using in FCE?

Can't access the Logging Items section of the Log and Transfer window.

Yesterday I was able to select and ingest clips and rename clips from my Canon Vixia SFH11 camcorder using the logging items section of the log and transfer window in FCP 7. Today, that section of the L&T window is gone! and every time I try and change a clip name or rename a clip it either ignores the change or it tries to save the new clip with a higher numbered name (ie. Clip #102, Clip # 103).
I know if must be a setting that I am missing or a procedure I skipped.
I want my logging items section back!
I've restarted and tried rebooting to no avail. Anybody have a clue?

Hi -
If you are missing both panes of the Log and Transfer window, you may have swiped the dividing bar over to the side to display one pane only.
Place your cursor over the bar on the side (you'll see the cursor switch to a reposition indicator)

and pull it back to the middle:

Why does Final Cut Express 4 quit automatically when I open Log and Transfer window?

I'm using a Sony NXCAM and I am editing on a Mac OS X. The clips I have recorded are in MTS format so I understand I must use the Log and Transfer setting to import my clips. I plug the camera into my computer, go into Final Cut Express 4, turn the camera on, and then go into the Log and Transfer window. Once I open that, Final Cut quits and an error message pops up that reads, "Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly." Final Cut quits too fast for me to even click on anything in the Log and Transfer window. I really don't understand why it does this. The only thing I can think of why Final Cut is quitting is because I have over 100 clips on the camera, so maybe that is too much for Final Cut Express 4 to handle. However, I wouldn't think that would be the case. If anyone knows of anything I could do to fix this problem, then please send me a reply. I've looked around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I haven't found anything. Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated!

Shooted videos directly saved to the SD memory card is no problem, the log and transfer window immediately recognizes the sd card and I was able to convert the videos. I will check later today if this were 25p, 50i or 50p footages.
Strangely enough is that transferring the .mts files from the internal memory to the sd card (using the Mac finder, I don't know if it is possible within the camera itself) won’t help, the log and transfer window doesn't the recognizes the transferred files, strange!
I hope that this problem will not occur using Final Cut Pro X, which I will start using soon.
I'm curious what the exact problem will be.

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 window

i am importing footage from CF cards and obviously using log and transfer. One thing I am unable to get is an image in the viewer everything else is fine. How do I see the footage in the window?
Brian

DO NOT IMPORT DIRECTLY FROM THE CF CARD! Like, never ever ever never ever. Back that up first. Unless you plan on keeping that footage on the cards and never erasing them. Those original files are your master tapes, and THAT is what you archive. Because they will take up 1/5th to 1/8th the space of the imported files.
Gotta watch my tutorial on the basic tapeless workflow...

Cannot reconnect to Canon HF11 in Log and Transfer window

I am using a Canon HF11 HD camcorder with FCEHD and was able to view, log and transfer clips into FCE without a problem. I saved the project on FCE but when I came back the first time, it told me that several clips were missing and could not reconnect to the media. When I came back a second time, now it will not recognize the camera in the log and transfer window. Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

I was having the same issue with a Canon HF S100. What seem to work for me was connecting the camera AFTER I opened the Log and Transfer window. Read my complete description on this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9573812#9573812.
