Log & transfer error. mts files

I recorded video with panasonic gh2.
I had problem that mts files didn't trasfer.
I had been test record that had no problem. When I do test record, it is only one file.
But this is 31G and 250 cuts. what happen to me?
I want to reduce less data lost.

More information would make things easier. Can you post what Mac you are editing with, how the Mac is set up, which version of Final Cut Pro, and your workflow?

Log & Transfer Error (.mov files) Issue

When I add my SD info in Log & Transfer Window i get the error message "100Canon" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.....
I used a Canon EOS Rebel to get the footage. I understand that FCE does not work with these .mov files without having to be forced to render.
Is there any way that I can transfer these .mov files to avoid having to render? If not can I convert them to another file without loosing quality? Is there any solution to avoid having to render?

You may lose a tiny bit of quality but it won't be noticeable. In Streamclip, you go to +File > Export to Quicktime+ and choose the Apple Intermediate Codec as your compression. Make sure you set a frame rate of 29.97 and audio to Uncompressed Stereo 48kHz. The exported video will be an AIC file in a .mov container.

Using Log&Transfer with QuickTime files?

Has anyone tried this? Is it possible? I have been given a drive with .mts files converted to quicktime. The file names are utterly meaningless. Example: I have 30 QT's with duplicate names in different folders, from different shooting days. Obviously I need to relog everything, give it scene/take info. Wondering if I can use Log & Transfer to log the QT files?
The footage was shot 1080p, should I just bring in the .mts files thru log&transfer, ProRes?
Suggestions and guidance very much appreciated.

Thank you for your reply -
The .mov files are Apple ProRes 422(HQ).
As mentioned earlier I also have the original .mts files. Everything was shot AVCHD 1080p.
Short of slogging through thousands of incorrectly labeled .mov files I was thinking of just starting fresh with Log & Capture of the original .mts files.
One of the reasons I'm thinking of working with the .mts files and Log & Capture is that I can rename the clips while retaining the metadata of the original .mts files. My understanding is that this will preserve the link between the 'work print' and the camera original 'negative' so to speak. It will also afford me the easy ability to work in ProRes proxy and uprez later, tho I assume I can bring in the 'mov as proxy and do the same thing?
I've been known to be totally wrong and thus, I am here seeking wisdom.

Final Cut Express Log & Transfer Error No Data

Hello all, after hours pouring through the threads with similar questions, I have had no luck. I have been using FCE for nearly two years, and have never seen this error message "No Data"
Last night, I was in the middle of transferring clips from my Sony hdr xr520v using my MacBook Pro capturing on my external HD with over 200GB available. The transfer was going smoothly, but VERY slow - slower than I remember it ever taking. I thought I would be a bright one and switch from my Firewire port to my USB (I had been capturing via USB for about 6 months when my logic board fried and external drive was not visible via Firewire only USB) In any event, I'm boring you with the details so you can replicate the scenario. The transfer was working with Firewire but I switched back to USB illogical I know since Firewire is faster than USB, but I was going with prior 6months experience. When I connected the HD with the USB, all of a sudden I got the No Data error message. I promptly switched back to Firewire, but I am still getting the message! What have I done?
I checked my settings - Log & Transfer is set to AVHD Plug in and Plain Stereo. Both audio and video are checked, FCE is set to HDV- AIC 1080i50.
I can not log & transfer ANY clips into FCE (not even the ones already imported last night) I can, however import all into iMovie (which I know doesn't care about all the stuff FCE cares about but helped me eliminate the possibility of corrupt clips).
ANY help would be MUCH appreciated

I thought you had to use USB 2.0 to log and transfer AVCHD . . . . definitely not Firewire?
I suggest you trash the preferences as detailed in the link below and start again with the correct Easy Setup and using USB 2.0.

Log & Transfer Error...

Using a Sony HXR camera (AVCHD) and FCE 4.0.
When adding clips to the Log & Transfer window, I get a spinning wheel, then a red hexagon with an exclamation mark in it. The continual error is "no data", no matter how many times I try.
I have been looking through this and other forums for hours and have tried all the suggestions... specified Apple Intermediate Codec, selected "plain stereo" etc. etc.
Would appreciate any suggestions as this is seriously frustrating and I need to finish a project... thanks.

No worries.
The updates adds a few Easy Setups that most likely your camera employs.

Another Log & Transfer Error Thread

I have read over all log and transfer threads. I have done everything I could find that was previously described in other threads by deleting the pref. files and all that jazz. Followed everything in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2672530#NoData . I am certain that all my setting are set correctly. I am still running across the error when transferring telling me the clip has no data. My specs are the following:
Camera: Sony HDR-AX2000
Filming in 1080i60 (all setting in FCE reflect this)
I do not know what else to do to fix this problem. I am transferring directly from the SD card plugged into the stock port in my computer. I have not tried transferring with my camera plugged into USB 2.0 but am pretty sure these are both the same methods, as I have read. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if there is any vital information I may have left out to get proper help.
-Thx

Hi -
Don't know if this is repeating advice you have already applied but:
1) Make sure you are editing with the latest update to FCE, FCE 4.0.1
2) Make sure you are recording HD with your camera. SD will not transfer by Log and Transfer - only HD.
3) There are reports of difficulties using Log and Transfer if you Camera Storage Card also contain clips in other video formats and/or if it contains still images.
4) Open the Log and Transfer window.
Click on the little gear shaped icon towards the upper middle of the L&T window
Select Preferences from the drop down menu.
When the preference window opens, set the AVCHD Plug-In audio format to Plain Stereo.
5) When you are navigating to the Storage Card, navigate to the top level of the card only. Do not drill down into the card structure. Log and Transfer needs to see the Card Structure to ingest properly.

Poor performance playing .mts files in source monitor

OK is Adobe really that far behind in writing up some code that can handle AVCHD .mts files? I transfer the .mts files from my camera to the hard drive, access them in PP via the media browser, import them to the project panel and when I try to play any of them back in the source monitor, playback is just plain shoddy, piss poor, horrible. I get some stutter (playback stops for a sec then resumes) but mostly what I notice is allot of noise in the video or pixelation, random blocks of pixels jump all over the video. Sorry I don't know how else to explain. I know that converting the .mts files to a lossless format first is the most common response but then where is the time saved with this whole format? Just curious if anyone has any input or maybe some hardware tweaks that might help.
Hardware:
AMD 6400+ dual core proc
6MB RAM
2 GT8800 512MB GPUs
Vista 64bit loaded on 1GB 7200 rpm SATA II HD
Scratch Discs are 4 SATA 80GB 7200rpm in RAID 0

My two cents on all this. I've only been editing for 2 yrs so I'm no expert but my experience is this. High Def formats are resource intensive already, you start adding in transitions, motion graphics, color correction and render times can go off the charts. Most people I talk to or see in the forums are pretty much trying to do what they can on the cheap, myself included ( I would love 2 new maxed out Mac Pro 8 cores, BUT...). My specs are below and with this setup I find that after all the software/firmware updates my system works fine, far from perfect but with a good workflow and some patience I can get most any job completed on time and on budget. I think Harm's post above with links to setting up your OS and optimizing your workstation is critical to success. It made a world of difference for my setup. The next thing I'm finding is the most important thing are your hard drives, you need em fast and plentiful. Ever since I went to one drive for OS/APPS, one for content and a RAID 0 for the scratch disk. My render times and app hang ups/crashes decreased substantially. What I am now finding with my set up is as my external content hard drive fills up, the slower it gets (basic HD logic). Which causes my projects/source monitor playbacks to hang and sometimes crash. So my next step is to set up another internal RAID 0 scratch disk for temp content storage ( I believe the less Adobe has to read/write from the same hard drives the better ). I will load what I need on it for the project then wipe it clean when finished. I am amazed at how quickly you can fill up a 1TB hard drive with HD footage, pics, project folders etc. So my feeling is you can be very productive with a decent workstation, correct hardware setup and lots of big, fast hard drives. On a side note, I can also tell you to delete any resource in your project window that you are not using in your timeline prior to rendering as the media encoder loads EVERYTHING that is in your project window before encoding and that can take up some valuable time.

Hi sir im using fcp 7 for video editing in i mac, how can i edit mts files in fcp 7 without log n transfer, is their solution for fcp 7?

Hi sir im using fcp 7 for video editing in i mac, how can i edit mts files in fcp 7 without log n transfer, is their solution for fcp 7?

>No, you are not right.
Going to question the biggest contributor to this forum? (Yes, my ego is talking). OK then...
>Install the QT-Plugin, restart your Mac and you will be able to import and use .mts files in FCP 7.
Sure...yes, that makes it POSSIBLE to read the files natively in FCP...if they come from a Panasonic camera. BUT...just try working with those files. Right away the system won't be nearly as responsive as it would if they were ProRes. First...there are no sequence settings for that format...so you'll have to use ProRes and have a green render bar. BUT, that's no big deal. The big deal is trying to work with the AVCHD format, which is VERY processor intensive...inside an application that doesn't like to work with much outside of the FCP editing codecs.
Is it possible? Sure? Will it work well...will you be as zippy and error free as if you converted to ProRes? Not by a long shot. OH, but don't just take my word for it. Go ahead...try it and see. No skin off my nose...no waste of my time. See how well this works.
I'm just here to relate real world working solutions to issues. And yes, I did try that plugin, and boy, was editing a pain.

Upset that I STILL can't log & transfer .mts files from Canon HF100

Upgraded to 4.1, Apple says it's compatible with the HF100. I can access the files on the camera's card via USB cable, but have tried everything to log & transfer into fce4 - absolutely no luck. Keep getting "invalid directory structure" error. I have the newest Intel Imac, Snow Leopard 6.2.
Please help or I'm giving up and getting a refund. I mean, iMOVIE can import the &%$! files.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I quite believe it.
Can you exactly describe what you're doing and how FCE behaves?
Do you see a preview of the clips after connecting the camera?
Try to import using iMovie, when this works, it should in FCE somehow, too.
I googled a bit around and found someone having the same problem (but unfortunately in german language).
He has formatted the SD card using the camera, then it worked. But the clips beeing on the SD card before are still lost. But if you backup before, you can convert the .mts files into .mov and then import it into FCE.
Some other possible source of errors:
- is the HF 100 power cable connected for transfer? (it has to be)
- did you see the "mode selection" screen when connecting to your Mac?
- if yes, did you select the "PC mode" there?
- does the USB port you are using work with other devices?
- can you try using an SD Card reader instead of the camera?
- do you see the camera device icon after connecting to your mac?
- can you try it on another Mac if it works? (if not, it may be a manufacturing issue)
At moment no more ideas...

Log and transfer error for large avchd file

The log and transfer proces for large (>15 min) avchd MTS files results in an error. The process is aborted and the destination prores 422 file disappears from the finder.
I shoot avchd MTS files with a Sony HXR NX5 onto SDHC 32Gb cards.
I copy the entire image to an attached disk.
In FCP6.0.6 I use log and transfer.
The process works flawlessly for smaller clips.
The longer clips fail.
During the process I see the creation of a ProRes 422 MOV file and its growth. Before completion it ends in an abort.
In the log and transfer dialog I get a red octangle sign with an exclamation mark. I am not able to get the details of the error.
Q: what should I do to be able to use my longer clips?
Coen Jeukens

All disks, internal and external (hardwired) are macosextended.
Have reset all prefs. Currently rerunning an 19 min import (will take over an hour).
If that fails, I will resort to setting ins and outs.
Thinking out loud, my sony NX5 produces MTS files of max 2Gb. If the clip is longer, it is split over multiple files on the SDHC.
FCP seems to recognise this artificial split. In L&T it combines the split files into a single clip.
Q: could it be that L&T stumbles over this artificial split of a clip?

TFTP 'configuration update' from 5508 WLC fails stating reason as '%Error: Config file transfer failed – Unknown error –refer to log'

Dear Experts,
I have two WLCs and other management devices as part of same subnet. I am able to upload ‘configs’ from all the devices on to my TFTP server. However when I am attempting to do the same from one of my WLC, it is failing consistently stating error message as:
‘%Error: Config file transfer failed – Unknown error –refer to log
Has anyone else too faced the same issue and how would we overcome this? Any specific debug that could help get more details on it?
Though the error message says, refer to log but still I don’t see anything that gets reflected in ‘Monitor logs’ which is related to ‘configuration file’ upload failure.
WLC code: 7.4.100.0
PFA as the error snippet.
Thanks and Regards,
Adnan

Hi Kaneswaran,
Just a soft reboot helped me solved the problem :). Still I am on 7.4 and facing no issues after this.
Apologies for coming too late to respond. Getting a down time window was not that easy and so was much delayed to try soft reload. I am still on 7.4 and facing no issue.
Glad that in your case it starting working all of a sudden. Could you please verify from 'show tech-support' to confirm if by chance your WLC had undergone any crash that could have caused the WLC to reload and thus accidently fixing the issue :)
Best Regards,
Muhammed Adnan

Efficient way get FCE4 Log and Transfer to read .mts files stored on drive?

Hi All
I've searched the FCE discussion forum and not found an answer verified by more than one user to this question: What is an efficient way to get FCE4 (via the Log and Transfer window) to see .mts files from an AVCHD camera stored on a drive (NOT via the camera -- directly from the drive)?
I am trying to plan the most space-efficient system possible for storing un-transcoded .mts files from a Panasonic AG-HMC151 on a harddrive so that I can easily ingest them into FCE4. I am shooting a long project and I want to be able to look at .mts files so that I can decide which ones to transcode to AIC for the edit.
Since FCE4 cannot see .mts files unless they have their metadata wrapper the question is really 'how do I most efficiently transfer .mts files from the camera to a storage harddrive with their metadata wrappers so that FCE4 can see them via the log and transfer window?'
Nick Holmes, in a reply in this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10423384&#10423384
gives 2 options: Use the Disk Utility to make a disk image of the whole SD card, or copy the whole contents of the card to a folder. He says he prefers the first option because it makes sure everything on the card is copied.
a) Have other FCE users done this successfully and been able to read the .mts files via Log and Transfer?
In a response to this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10257620&#10257620
wallybarthman gives a method for getting Log and Transfer to see .mts files that have been stored on a harddrive without their metadata wrappers by using Toast 9 or 10.
b) Have any other FCE4 users used this method? Does it work well?
c) Why is FCE4 unable to see .mts files without their metadata wrappers in the Log and Transfer window? Is it just a matter of writing a few lines of code?
d) Is there an archiving / library app. on the market that would allow one to file / name / tag many .mts clips and view them prior to transcoding into space-hungry AIC files in FCE?
Any/all help would be most gratefully received!

I have saved the complete file structure on DVD as a backup, but have not needed to open them yet. But I will add this. As I understand the options with Toast you are infact converting the video to AIC or something like it. I haven't looked into it myself, but I can't imagine the extra files are that large, but maybe there are significant, I don't know. The transcoded files are huge in comparison to the AVCHD file.
A new player on the scene for AVCHD is Clipwrap 2.0. As I understand this product. It rewraps the AVCHD into a wrapper the Quicktime can open and play. This is with the MTS files only, the rest of the file structure is not needed. The rewrap is much faster that the transcode to AIC. So you have the added benefit of being able to play the files as well as not storing the extra files. The 2.0 version (which is for AVCHD) was just recently released. I haven't tried it and don't personally know of anyone who has. You might want to try this, there is a trial version as I recall.

FCP "Log and Transfer" ignores some MTS files

Good afternoon!
FCP's "Log and Transfer" will only pick up about 50% of the MTS files recorded on my Canon HF-10. Toast 9 can see them all, but of course the QuickTime conversion puts them a bit out of sync.
I've just spend rather a lot of cash on FCS2 for the Log and Transfer option. Does anyone know why only some of my MTS files are showing up?
Many thanks!
DAN

My guess is because you are on a G5, not an Intel Mac
If those files are AVCHD, you need an Intel Mac and at least 6.0.5.

Log & Transfer of Canon HF 11: error message

Hi guys,
I just got a new canon HF 11 (basically the same as the HF 10) and i tried to import footage using Log & Transfer but every time I click "add clip to queue" it spins a grey icon for a few seconds which then turns to a red circle with an exclamation mark inside and says "Error: No Data". I have tried giving the clip an in and out mark but this doesn't help.
Any ideas,
Thanks

I have had a similar problem with my Canon HG21 which has both hard disk and 32GB flash drive. My method is to copy files from the Hard Disk to the flash drive and then place the flash drive into a card reader. I was able to see FCE downloading in log and transfer for a second or two and then it went into an idle mode and never downloaded the file.
My solution was to delete ALL from from the flash drive followed by copying the videos and stills from the hard disk onto the clean flash drive. I realize you don't have the luxury of the hard disk, but perhaps you can extract the files using the Voltiac tool to clone the Canon structure from the camera and see if log and transfer will work directly from your hard disk on the Mac.
