Log and Transfer: The right half page with preview monitor disappears

Hello
With Log and Transfer, we have a windows likes a page which is divided into 2 spaces :
The left half space and the right half space.
Normally :
On the left half space we have, from left to right
Name / Volume / Media Start / Media Duration
On the right half space we have, from up to down, we have :
- The preview monitor
- Logging Import Settings
Name Preset
Reel
Clip name
Scene
Shot/Take
Angle
Log note
My problem is : When I tried to make wider one colum of the left half space, the right half space included the preview monitor vanishes
Thank you for help

Log and transfer causes FCP to crash with long clips

Hi. I am trying to import a few 2 hour+ clips using Log and Transfer from my Sony NX5. Once the destination clip has reached approx 60GB, FCP crashes every time. There is plenty of disk space left.
I have tried trashing preferences and also changing scratch disks. I am turned off time machine. I am really worried that I wont be able to get this footage onto my machine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

In the end Clipwrap saved the day on this project.
This did happen to me again though on yet another project, where the files were around an hour long this time. In the end I got it to work, not sure the solution but tried the following:
- Selected a different easy setup (choose PAL) - this fixed the problem for a colleague of mine, even though it doesn't seem logical
- Used my internal drive as a scratch disk instead of my firewire drive (normally this is not a problem)
I haven't tried this with the really long clips, as Clipwrap saved me.
Many thanks for suggestions.

Log and Transfer Process Failed for AVCHD with SD card

I shoot on SD Cards using AVCHD technology.
It creates a file called “Private”.
When I want to ingest the footage into Final Cut, I must choose log and transfer and then drop the clip into the window.
I can see and watch the clip before I start the process but if fails when I try and complete the log and transfer process.
Any ideas / trouble shooting help to get this to work???

Fails how? What exactly happens? What do you see on your computer?
Exactly what format did you shoot? What settings are you using in FCP? What OS? What version of the software? What version of QuickTime? What computer? What drives? How's everything connected? What's the scratch disk? How's it formatted? That'll be a good start.

FCE Log and Transfer with Canon Vixia HF11

I've recently upgraded FCE. Before the upgrade I had no problems with log and transfer. I have changed absolutely nothing on my camera or computer other than the upgrade. Now when I try to log and transfer the files are in the window but I get a red icon that indicates they won't download. Are there simple fixes here? I don't understand most of the terminology used on these sites. I just know that it worked before I upgraded and doesn't work now. Thanks

Go to the Log and Trnasfer window and find the Settings icon (a small gear wheel).
Change the audio from Martix to Plain Stereo and try again.

Log and transfer inevitably crashing FCP

We're editing a couple of music video in FCP 6.0.1.
we shot with an HMC150 so the clips are being uploaded from an SDHC in an AVCHD folder via log and transfer. the first video went relatively fine barring several problems with log and transfer (files not matching thumbnails, files corrupting, FCP crashing) the problems seem to be random and inconsistent, as issues like a misplaced thumbnail or corrupted import could be reopened and fixed so there was no way to tell exactly why each thing was happening. eventually it all subsided and work went smoothly.
went on to finish video number two and after several imports the log and transfer feature has decided to be the death of the project. Choosing log and transfer inevitably leads to an almost instant crash of FCP unless all drives it's reading from are disconnected. reinserting any drive means an instant crash. the drives are not corrupt and function just fine with any and all other programs, even imovie.
why in the world can't i get FCP to stay alive when i open the log and transfer? please help.

Right - I've solved this one. It turned out that I'd recorded some 1080p50 footage. The mere presence of this on the card freaked Log & Transfer. The camera doesn't make it easy by hiding that footage when you're looking at 1080i25 (or whatever "normal" mode is).

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!

Log and Transfer - Clip Sorting Issue

Hello. I have been using an AVCHD camera for some time now, and when I would use the Log And Transfer the clips would show up in the order they were recorded. I accidentally pressed a tab at the top to sort a different way, and now I can't get back to how it was. See http://dcdl.info/20100212171440.png for a screenshot. I know it has to do with how the clips are automatically named.
If anyone can help me with this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Just a thought!
Right-click on the "Name" field and check "Date Created" in the drop-down list. If you now sort using the Date Created column, will this reorder the clips as you want them? If not, are there any other options in the list that might?

Final Cut Express Log and Transfer files not playing audio on another mac

I recently purchased a new Mac Pro for video editing for work, and am having some issues with it. Previously i was working on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.4.11, on Final Cut Express 4.
I used Log & Transfer to get the AVCHD videos from my Canon HF 11 onto my mac, and had no issues. Where my problems started was when I moved my video files to my new Mac Pro running OS 10.5.6. Now when I open those video files in either Quicktime or FCE, the VIDEO plays but _not the audio_. I thought maybe the video files were bad, but when I tried the original files on the new Mac, they still didn't work. I don't know if there's some codec that isn't on the new mac or if there's some other problem... I just know that my new amazing machine cannot play the files that my 3 year old one can. I'm not new to computers, but I'm not an Apple guru. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well I can try trashing the files, but I can't log and transfer the files again, as it's months of footage that aren't on the camera anymore. But i did find something else out. The files that were recorded with the camera's built-in mic recording is fine and with sound, but the files that I used my wireless mic setup had no sound. I don't know why that is, because they worked fine on the MacBook Pro. I tried log and transferring a new clip on the Mac Pro wit;h footage using the wireless mic, and still no sound.

C300 fcp 7 log and transfer

hi. i have a folder structure and i am trying to import on my hard drive via log and transfer. i don't have the original card. I downloaded both the xf utility and the xf transfer. i am on 10.8.6. Each time i am getting the unsupported media error. The folder reads : "AA39" with the contents"AA0399.CIF
AA0399.THM
AA0399.XML
AA039901.MXF
AA039901.SIF
all my codecs are up to date. any ideas. thanks.

That's not the proper card structure. It needs to look like this. if it doesn't, then you don't have the proper card structure, and FCP will not import the footage. The FULL INTACT card structure is needed in order for FCP to Log and Transfer the footage.

FCP Log and Transfer not Recognizing .MTS

This is weird. Two weeks ago I received a bunch of MTS files and brought them into FCP 6.0.6 with Log and Transfer. Today I received a bunch more and opened FCP to log and transfer the files and now FCP won't recognize them I haven't changed anything to my knowledge. Any more troubleshooting ideas? I have clipwrap and that works but I have an outdated version and I guess upgrades aren't free so I only have the free trial version. Anyways, log and transfer worked great and now this problem!?
Thanks in advance!
Tim

FCP can recognize MTS video files as long as you have the whole file structure.
AVCHD->BDAV->Stream and something like that.
If you indeed just have single MTS video file, you have to use a MTS Converting software.
Hope my info helps.

Log and Transfer uploading issues

When trying to transfer my footage in the 'Log and Transfer' window I am able to preview my footage, however when putting it into the import queue it simply pops up with a red circle and an exclamation mark in it... and when hovvering over it it says 'Error: No Data'.
However, for the past week or so I have been using log and transfer and it has worked perfectly fine, and now it has started to fail on me.
There is enough room on the hardrive, I have also read previous discussions which have been posted a few years ago trying to find out what the problem is, from doing this I have tried to change the sound to 'Plain stereo' and have cleaned the 'cache', yet the problem is still happening.
It is version 7.0.3.
Help please!

ARTIFACTS AFTER LOG AND TRANSFER! please help!

i was given a p2 card to log and transfer. after my first attempt to log and transfer, the sound was way out of sync and the video was strobing. then i deselected the option to remove advanced pulldown and drop frames from the settings preferences. i then log and transfered again and this seemed to fix the initial problems. however, now my clips have artifacts every few seconds that look like little patches of random colors. what are these and how can i fix them. any help is greatly appreciated. thanx.

In the L&T window...play the footage. Can you see them there? If you don't have P2CMS from Panasonic, download it and use it to view the footage. See if this break up is on the original footage.
I have seen this, but it appeared on the master footage.

Log and Transfer cutting clips short

All,
When I attempt to import a clip using Log and Transfer, the total duration of the clip is cut short. FCE usually chops a few seconds off of the end of the clip. I'm really not sure what's going on... it's really frustrating. For example, if the clip is 2 min 15 seconds in the Log and Transfer window, it will only be 2 min and 9 seconds after it has been imported.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Michael

David,
The framerate on the camera is 24 fps. Any idea how I change it in the FCE Sequence? I was doing some reading, and it doesn't look like I can. Not to mention, I came across the disturbing fact that FCE can't edit 24 fps video. Crap!
Is this the cause of my issue?
Thanks,
Michael

Log and Transfer Clips are in order from name, not actual time of recording

When I first installed my Final Cut Express HD and went to Log and Transfer, the clips were organized properly (#1 #2 #3 etc.), but one time I accidentally hit the "Name" column at the top, which then put all the clips in order by name (#1 #10 #11). This makes things a lot harder for me when I only need to select certain clips. I've tried re-installing the program, but to no avail. Can someone please help me get this back to the order in which the clips were first recorded?

I found out the problem. The controls do not work if the AVCHD footage is in SD. They do appear if footage is in HD.

Greetings,
I have a Call Manager Business Edition that was synched with a customer's AD directory. However, the end users cannot log in to the ccmuser web page with either their AD password or the Call Manager end user PIN.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for your reply, Aaron.
All users are in the end user group.. I even created a new role/user group that gives users complete read/write access to all end user features. Still no go. I think it is an LDAP issue, but I'm confused because everything else works.
