Log & transfer issues from Canon 5D

Hey,
There's some footage shot on a Canon 5D (in H.264 format), I want to use FCP 7's log & transfer feature to convert to apple pro res. However the files are greyed out and unable to click on them. Equally as unsuccessful, I can't drag them from finder on to the log & transfer window.
The files haven't been moved since copying the data from cards (which they are no longer on) so unsure as to why they are not importing. I have tried from both an external hard drive and from a server but can't access them via FCP 7.
I can view them in preview, but not in Quicktime if this helps anyone find the root of the problem

Download and install the free 'EOS Movie Plugin E1 for FCPV1.2'
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/cameras/slr_cameras/eos_5d_mark_ ii#DriversAndSoftware
Use the Log and Transfer to import H.264 footage form the camera or the card directly into FCP, you will have the options in the import window setting to decide what type of ProRes to convert to. Works like a charm..

Log & Transfer issues with Canon HF200

I'm trying to import about 150 short videos from my canon HF200 camera. Although it doesn't have a firewire connection (it's through USB), it does record AVCHD. When I plug the camera in to my computer, it is recognized in the finder window. However, no options show up to allow me to import from the camera. And, when I open FCE, the camera is not registering in the FCE Log and Transfer window. The clips aren't even there. I have been reading forums all night and I'm at my wit's end.
I'm using Snow Leopard, FCE 4.0.1, and everything seems adequately updated. Please help me figure out what I'm going wrong!

Hi -
1) Are you confident that your footage on your camera is in the HD format? Log and Transfer does not work with footage that is shot as Standard Definition.
2) Have you tried to navigate to the camera manually using the Add Volume Button on the upper right?
3) Have you tried removing the memory card and attempting to access it through a memory card reader?
Thanks

.MTS via Log & Transfer - ISSUES

I am creating a project from AVCHD files. I have imported some via L&T directly from different SD cards. Other .MTS files have been given to me as data archives (ie: no AVCHD file structure).
When I open the L&T window and try to transfer the [archived] .MTS files (now residing on one of my external drives), they are grayed out. I assume this is because the file structure that can be read by FCP L&T is not present as it was when I captured from the cards.
So what are my options? Is my only option converting these files with Toast or a similar program?
Your wisdom and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated!
cheers!

Hello,
I'm shooting with a new Panasonic HMC150 onto an SDHC Class 6 card. I'm having the same problem the above user is having even after copying the entire folder structure as it is shown on the SDHC card directly onto my hd. The Log&Transfer still won't read the .mts files. It reads through all the folders until i get to the stream folder containing the light grey .mts files which are un openable
I'm reading about this same problem from other users and can't seem to find any real explanation. Why do I have to buy toast when I'm supposed to be able to transcode to prorez 422 proxy from FCP7 log and transfer? I'm depressed and aggravated at this point and have resorted to heavy alcohol consumption. Any good advice will make me cry fermented tears of joy. Thanks.

FCP EOS 1D Mk4 Log & transfer issues

Hi,
I am using the Canon plug-in for some canon slr video footage for transcoding purposes.
Some footage imports with time code while other clips from the b-camera don't import with time code.
All clips have a similar file path and thm files sitting next to each .mov.
Anyone have ideas on where to look deeper into why there is a difference?
thanks,

Sorry Pyras, I'm an idiot ... I led you to the right place but then copied and pasted the name of the wrong thing to download ... Doh! Sorry.
You need:
XDCAM EX Log and Transfer plug-in PDZK-LT1 V1.20 for MAC OSX
PDZKLT1_V1.20.zip
Scroll all the way to the bottom. Apologies for the misdirect.
Andy
Ps Although, fwiw, you can actually use the XDCAM Transfer app to import too ... its an excellent standalone app designed for that function. If installed, to access it from FCP you can choose File > Import > Sony XDCAM... which will open up the XDCAM Transfer app, then you can use the apps interface to add your XDCAM EX media folder to it, browse, log and select the clips as needed, and then press "Import" to send direct to your FCP project :-)

Video transfer issue from iPhone

Hello!
I own iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd Generation) and regularily make video with both devices and then transfer the video to my PC via the USB cable and then play the videos in Quick Time on the PC.
Prior to updating to iOS 6 on both my iDevices on September 19, I had no problems at all. The videos transferred properly and I was able to view them on my PC in Quick Time. Today (September 25), I made a video on my iPhone 4S, transferred it to my PC the way I always have (via USB), and when I opened it in Quick Time, I just got a black screen with no audio. I then tried the same thing with my iPad (3rd Generation) and had the same results.
The videos played perfectly on the iOS devices on which they were shot.
Anybody else having these issues? What can I do to fix this?

in case you ended up on this thread via web search (as I did today),
I'll post how I solved it when it happened to me.
the issue was caused by importing 3 months of camera roll using Image Capture (I do not use iPhoto anymore).
after importing all the items, I selected them all in the Image Capture window and clicked on "delete".
a few ghost files (video only) were left behind, all of them 0 Bytes.
tried disconnecting/restarting the device but the issue persisted.
no way to delete the video references from the mac.
had to go in camera roll and manually delete them all.
using "select' on the top right you can tap them and delete after they are all checked.
hope this helps someone

Attachment transfer issue from Shopping cart to Purchase req in ECC

Hello,
How are you all. Need your expert advise..
We are trying to achieve functionality where documents which are attached on shopping cart get transfer into Purchase req in ECC (Classic Scenario with SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0). For this we have done following config / enhancements:
- Activated BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW" in SRM with following code for attachment;
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
- Created new document type ECC with t.code DC30 for SRM and assigned the object links for EBAN table.
After performing above task we are able to see Link of the attachment into Purchase req in ECC with document number (i.e. the one we assigned while defining document type in DC30) but not able to open the document in ECC.
Could you please let us know if there is any settings which we have missed for actually opening documents in ECC?
Thank you
Ritesh

Issue as reported Please let me know why the docs are not uploaded to SRm succesfully .
I am facing the below weird issue .
Easy shopping >Shop> eHiring catalog
Click Transfer to SRM
Now click on the button ‘Details’ and open the tab ‘Notes and attachments’
All attchments are names after the 1st attachment and all have the same file type
Basically you have lost all you attachments here, except 1 (when you click on the link, all links refer to the same document, so not just cosmetic). This is a problem.
When you order this shopping cart and search for it and open it again, the attachment tab is even completely empty, so now all attachments are lost.
Something like this, but less severe, happens in the process a bit further.
- Approve the shopping cart with the applicable approver
- Log in as Hiring desk:
Still no original attachments (like job descriptions).
Now click button ‘responses and awards’
Click tab ‘Items’ and fill out price ‘40’ euro
Click notes and attachment tab
I added 5 attachments
As can be seen here, the docx becomes an xlsx again, but it looks like it just takes over the 1st file type that was uploaded, it can also be the other way around (xlsx becomes docx) when the 1st uploaded attachment is a document.
But in this case, when you click on the link, it will open the right file with the right program, so over here it looks like it is just cosmetic.

Log & Transfer problem with Canon Vixia

I have a Canon Vixia HG20 and I am trying to use the log and transfer. But it is not working.
I select my clip and select add to queue but it never adds. I get a red exclamation sign and it says clip idle.
I've used both of my macs, an iMac with Tiger and a Macbook with Leopard. I have Final Cut Express 4.
I have tried setting the audio to plain stereo, didn't help
I can get iMovie to transfer the clips no problem.
Anyone know what I need to do?

I am using the Canon HG10 with CE 4.0.1 and seem to be having the same problem. I am new to FCE 4.
I have tried a few of the settings on Easy Setup however I do not seem to be having any joy.
If anybody could shed some light onto this I would be so grateful!
Thanks

How do I transfer video from Canon FS300 to iMovie 09?

I transferred video once before from this new Canon FS300 video camera, about 2 months ago,and thought that when I plugged it in today that the computer would automatically recognize it, but so far, I'm not seeing anything. Is there some kind of setting on the camera itself that I need to set? I've plugged it into the computer and into the camera, using the USB cable.
Thanks so much!

You should ask your question in the iMovie '09 forum. This is the iDVD forum.

Data Transfer Issue from R/3 Prod to BW Prd

Hello All,
We have recently connected our BW PRD system to R/3 PRD system.
During data transfer its giving an Message " Error Opening an RFC Connection"
So we have to go to the Transact RFC mode & Forcefully transfer the data.
we have given below profiles to the ALEREMOTE & BIWREMOTE users in R/3 & BW
SAP_ALL, SAP_NEW, S_BI-WHM_RFC, S_BI-WX_RFC, S_RS_ALL
Any thing is missing, please let us know
Regards
Lalan

Hi,
If you are using SAP R/3 Plug-In 2004.1
For BIWREMOTE profile S_BI-WHM_RFC (Business Information Warehouse, RFC user in the Warehouse) is sufficient to extract the data.
For ALEREMOTE profile SAP_ALL covers all authorizations.
Check following configurations for both systems
RFC connections
ALE settings
Partner profiles
Port
IDoc types
IDoc segments
BW settings
All the above configuration is fine, still you are facing same problem check the OSS note: 150315

Audio transfer issues from Keynote to iDVD???

Hi all;
I built my presentation in Keynote.
I recorded the slideshow, so that way I can export it with the recorded timing.
I turned down the built in microphone in system preferences.
However, when I'm "previewing" my keynote through iDVD, I can't hear my sound...
What's the deal??
Thanks in advance!!
~jess.

Can you tell me how you did this, I am having similar problems. I created a photo slideshow using Keynote 08, but when I exported to iDvd, my audio was not there and I did check the audio box before exporting.
Also, do you know how I can add multiple audio tracks on keynote and not just to the slides?

SCP log file transfer issues after upgrade

We upgraded out AsyncOS from 6.3.3 to 7.1.3 and now we are encountering log transfer issues with 2 out of 3 WSA's. Also the log rotation is set at 3GB but is rotating at 1GB. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Dominick,
FIrst look at your log subscriptions for the access logs. Log into the GUI -> System Administration -> Log Subscriptions -> Access Logs highlighted in blue on the left side of the window. Check that your configuration is set to your needs. Next we need to review what is taking place when SCP tries to send the logs to the destination by reviewing the System Logs also located within the log subscriptions. Is the destination a Windows or Linux device ? If it is a Linux device you may also want to look into var/log/secure for the log information there as well.
Sincerely,

Log & Transfer with Mac OS 10.6.2

Having previously had a fully working, and it has to be said impressive, installation of FCE 4.0.1 I attempted to ingest some new footage recently. I had not used FCE for about 3 months as I had no need to.
FCE started up great and I was able to create a new project as well; but when I opened the Log & Transfer window and attempted to add the folder I'd copied from the camera's SD card, nothing. The folder name does not appear as the source at the top of the window and no files appear in the top list pane.
Now to troubleshoot here's my line of thought:-
1. The latest footage is corrupt.
2. The system has changed since Iast used FCE. (This is true and I will come to this soon)
3. The FCE install is corrupted.
So here's what I've done to address each of the above steps.
1. I returned to the last footage I'd successfully ingested and I could not add that footage's folder to the L&T window either, as a precaution I then trashed the preferences and tried again, still no good.
2. As stated above my system has changed as since the last time I used FCE I've upgraded to Mac OS 10.6 and subsequently 10.6.2 also I've installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0. So to troubleshoot this I needed a test bed and so used a spare internal SATA drive as a new Startup Drive and performed the following.
i. Erased the drive and re-formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
ii. Installed Mac OS 10.5.
iii. Patched 10.5 with three iterations of Software Update.
iv. Installed FCE 4.0.
v. Patched FCE to 4.0.1.
vi. Tested FCE and it worked perfectly, interesting but not the solution I would like.
vii. Installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 and then tested FCE and it worked perfectly.
viii. Updated Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 and then tested FCE and it worked perfectly.
ix. Upgraded Mac OS to 10.6 and then tested FCE and it failed to add folders to the L&T pane.
x. Patched Mac OS to 10.6.2 with three more iterations of Software Update and then tested FCE and it failed to add folders to the L&T pane.
Ok a short pause in the overly detailed breakdown of what has occurred (I don't want anybody to be in any doubt as to my veracity in troubleshooting).
So as far as the above sequence is concerned Mac OS 10.6.x does not support FCE and AVCHD media, as an added 'feature' after two attempts at adding a path to the footage FCE crashes completely.
Maybe a 'clean' clean install is what is needed.
xi. Erased the drive and re-formated as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) again.
xii. Installed Mac OS 10.6 and patched with three iterations of Software Update.
xiii. Installed FCE 4.0 and patched with Software Update to 4.0.1.
xiv. Tested FCE and it still will not add a path to any media and crashes after a handful of attempts at getting it to do so.
So the third of possible causes i.e. FCE install corrupted is excluded as cause 2 Mac OS problems are the culprit.
Am I the only person with a professional spec (albeit a little long in the tooth, yet very capable) machine; built with the latest OS as per manufacturers recommendations; FCE software installed as per best practice and the media stored on a dedicated drive in the AVHCD file structure (as a footnote the software will not "see" the camera either) who is unable to use FCE as it will not do what it says on the tin. Unless the tin is 10.5.
Spleen vented is anybody able to help?

Impressive - you've been very methodical & thorough - I wish most posts were as thoroughly detailed as yours! But something else is going on. I have FCE 4.0.1 on 10.6.2 and it's working perfectly; ditto for a lot of other people here.
You mentioned that you +"attempted to add the folder I'd copied from the camera's SD card"+ - have you tried Log&Transfer directly from your camcorder? If not, try that and let us know what happens (or not).
When you copied that folder from your SD card, did you copy the +entire folder structure+ (all the way from the root of the SD card) or just the folder containing the video? That could be the problem (you need the entire folder structure for AVCHD video, not just the folder containing the MTS files.) What camcorder are you using?

Transfer attachment from SRM SHC to ECC PO

Hi,
Im working on SRM 7.0.Classic scenario.I need to enable the transfer of attachments from SRM SC to R/3 PO.Can anyone explain the steps to achieve the above?
Also in case of extended classic scenario,is the attachment transferred automatically from the SRM Local PO to ECC PO?
Thanks!
regards,
SRM Tech

Hello SRMTECH,
You have to do some configuration settings in SPRO
SPRO>Supplier Relationship Management>SRM Server>Cross-Application Basic Settings>Define Settings for Attachments.
We are also working for the same requirement. We have did following configuration / customization to achieve this.
- Activated BADI "BBP_CREATE_BE_RQ_NEW" in SRM and set the indicator as follow:
cs_ctrl_att-BE_DOC_TYPE = 'SRM'.
cs_ctrl_att-BE_storage_cat = 'DMS_C1_ST'.
cs_ctrl_att-TRANSFER_ACTIVE = 'X'.
- In ECC Side T.code DC10 and defined document type for SRM with following
Add a New Document Type SRM (if not already exists). Set 'Use KPro', 'Version Assign' and 'Change
Docs'. Set the Internal and External Number Range (02 and 01). Use MCDOKZNR as Number Exit.
Ver No. Incr = 1 and Set the File Size (Usually 10000000 bytes).
Once the Document Type is created, define Object links to PO Item and Pur Req Item. Use - Screen
Number 247 and Screen Number 248 with Valuation Object of EBAN and EKPO for Objects EBAN
(PReq) and EKPO (PO) for Doc Type SRM.
After doing this changes we were able to transfer attachements but we are still facing one issue as we were not able to open that particular document in ECC / R3.

Log and Transfer Crash FCP 6.06, from Canon Vixia HF20

I am having a strange problem in logging and transferring from FCP 6.06. I have been logging and transferring from my Canon Vixia HF20 without any problems for monthes. Then I have been granted access to a Sony HXR-NX5U NXCAM from work, I logged and Transferred from the flash memory unit HXR-FMU128, without any problems. But ever since I logged and Transfered from the sony flash unit, in attempting to log an transfer from my Canon Vixia has caused FCP to crash every single time. I then log and transfer again from the Sony Flash unit without any problems, after having dealt with the Canon transfer crashes.
Currently log and transfer from Song Flash unit always works, from Canon Vixia never works in FCO 6.06.....boooOOO!
Anyone else experience a problem like this?

Hi Eugene
Seems like maybe your FCP's preferences have taken a turn for the worse ... at least I haven't heard of this being a widespread issue so I would recommend you start by using a free app like Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to make a backup copy of your current FCP user preferences, then use the same Preference Manager app to "trash" those existing prefs. Now restart FCP and see if the problem still persists .. hopefully not. If the problem is still there then you can use Preference Manager (again) to restore your previous prefs from the backup copy you made ... and you are back where you started.

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...
