Log & Transfer not transferring clip in full

Hello-
Running FCP7 on Dual Quad Core Mac Pro, OS 10.6, capture scratch on external Firewire drives.
Working on big documentary project shooting almost exclusively 1080 30p files with Canon HDSLRs (5D, 7D, T2i, T3i.) Transcoding the footage - to Apple Pro Res 422 LT 1080 30p - thru FCP's log and transfer tool has been a successful workflow up to this point.
But recently discovered that a healthy chunk of footage wasn't fully transcoded - original clips were all represented but NOT in their entirety, ie all the clips were there, just not in full original durations. (When originally did the L&T transferring, FCP didn't give any error messages; I only discovered when it seemed like there were large chunks of missing footage.)
And it's been hard to discern a pattern. Annoyingly, these partial durations are not true off all the clips in any particular L&T batch, just some. Both relatively long and short clips (under and over 30 seconds) are getting cut off. Nor is there any kind of distinct duration cut-off point; the abbreviated clips all cut out at random times. I seemed to have isolated the problem clips to a week’s period of intensive L&T work back in early Feb. And since that point I have been able to L&T transcode full durations successfully. And I have been re-transfering the partial files - on the same system - and it seems to be transcoding clips in full.
Anyone ever run into this issue? Any idea why/how it happened? Couldn't imagine there's some buried preference setting that's inhibiting transferring the clips in full.
I guess I'm just going to have to re-transcode all the incomplete clips but bigger worry is preventing this in the future. Tough workflow going forward if I can't have confidence in L&T tool not to transfer in full. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Nick.

Ssure enough, clips appear after about 3 minutes of leaving log and transfer open. As long as I don't close L&T, the following directories will mount quickly, as expected. As soon as I close L&T, same pattern.
This is consistent with directories with as few as one, 30 second clip as well as the more usual gathering of multiple clips. I noticed an Identical thread on RED's discussion board. The directories I'm working with are HVX-200 / DVCProHD.

Canon HFS 10 log & transfer not using full capacity of camera

I hope someone can help.
Just bought a Canon HFS10 AVCHD handycam that boasts it records at 24 Mbps but when using log and transfer the clips are only recording around 10 to 13 Mbps.
There doesn't appear to be an option in 'Log and Transfer' to up the rate.
How do I get Final Cut Express to take up video from the camera at 24MBps?

Here's a recent thread I did on the topic:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964703&tstart=0
The basic idea is that Canon boasts it captures at 24mBps, but is actually a variable bit rate and uses whatever rate it needs when capturing. As such, the data rate upon ingest would be the rate it captured at. There is no way to change the data rate within FCE, this solely depends on how the camera captured. 24mBps is probably the maximum data rate the camera has achieved in tests.

Log & Transfer not working after latest update.

I updated Final Cut Pro 6 to the latest update available. Now when I try to log and transfer my DVCPRO-HD files I'm having errors. Some kind of blocks appear all over the video and the sound is fuzzy and goes in and out like the mic is turning on and off. It was working fine for a couple clips but then it started messing up. Any ideas? Is there a way to remove the latest update?

Thanks for your suggestion, it has solved my difficulty. For informational purposes I will publish my post and the solution in hopes it will assist others.
I am running Final Cut Pro 6.0.5. My Sony SR12's drive is recognized during the Log And Transfer process. The problems continue. All of the thumbnails have a grayish/brown band going right through the middle of each one. I am able to play the clip in the Log and Transfer window but as soon as I attempt to drag the clip to the media box, FCP crashes. I had this same problem with iMovie 7 and found that updating to the latest version solved the problem. In this case however, FCP 6.0.5 is the latest version. I have the same problem with Final Cut Pro Express 4.0.1 but again, not with iMovie 7.1.4. I loaded Sony’s XDCAM software as well just in case but it did not do anything to help the situation.
When I trashed the Perian component along with QuickTime preferences it did the trick. I believe it was the old version of Perian causing the conflict with Final Cut Pro’s Log and Transfer option, not the Quick Time preferences. When I installed the newest version of Perian which is 1.1.3 there didn’t seem to be any conflict and the HD clips from my Sony SR12 imported fine with no further crashes.

A few notes :
Troubleshooting Tips For Dataguard Switchover (9i and 10gR1) [ID 298986.1]
Although it is about Switchover, it does mandate a password file exclusive. If the switchover requires the password file, shouldn't ARCH shipping require it ?
Step By Step Guide To Create Physical Standby Database Using RMAN [ID 469493.1]
also covers 9i with specific mentions of 9i differences from 10g. Passwordfile is not mentioned as different in 9i from 10g.
Data Guard 9i - Net8 Configuration for a 2-node database environment. [ID 175122.1
has log_archive_dest_2='SERVICE=NODE2STDBY.ACME.COM' so it connects to the service
*However* the document "Introduction to Oracle 9i Data Guard Manager" from
Data Guard 9i Introduction to Data Guard Manager GUI [ID 150217.1]
page 59 has this : "The creation process will attempt to create a remote login password file for the standby database to
enable remote connections to the database. (Note: A remote login password file is not necessary for
Data Guard operation; it is only needed to allow remote connections to the database from clients,
such as other Enterprise Manager tools.)"
Similarly the section "3.2.6 Set Initialization Parameters on a Physical Standby Database"
in the 9i DataGuard manual at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/create_ps.htm#62941
only has
remote_archive_enable=TRUE
(this is an instance parameter)
Similarly the section "5.8.2.1 Primary Database Initialization Parameters"
at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/log_transport.htm#1067609
explains
The last parameter, REMOTE_ARCHIVE_ENABLE=SEND, allows the primary database to send redo data to the standby database, but prevents the primary database from receiving redo data from another system.
with REMOTE_ARCHIVE_ENABLE=RECEIVE on the Standby
to Receive and archive the incoming redo data from the primary database, but only while the database is running in the standby role
So, I guess that REMOTE_ARCHIVE_ENABLE is the important one. Not REMOTE_LOGIN_PASSWORDFILE.
In 9i : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96536/ch1174.htm#1023087
In 10g it is deprecated : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams176.htm#sthref541 so that LOG_ARCHIVE_CONFIG is used.

Video to USB transfer, not all clips veiwable on pc

So I like making vids on my downtime and would use sharefactory to make videos. Although Sharefactory doesn't give the justice with very little editing options. I decided to start transferring my videos to pc where i have adobe premiere pro to edit. When i looked at the videos on pc, not all could be played. In fact, only about 20 or 30% of the videos i transfered could be edited, played or even showed a thumbnail. I looked around and i'm not the only one with this problem. I've tried 3 different video players, and found out the files are corrupted, then i tried 2 other flash drives, and still didn't work. Ive tried transferring video clips numerous times and couldn't get any results. If there is a fix please tell me. If not this would be great in an update fix. I've looked at other forums and it seems i'm not the only one with this problem ...

Archive logs are not transferring to DR server in DataGuard

Dear Gurus,
We have implemented data guard on 10g and it was working properly till last week.All of a sudden it is stopped working and i am getting the error in primary server alert log as
"ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified

and the trace file entries are as follows
" Error 12154 received logging on to the standby,Error 12154 connecting to destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 standby host 'STANDRR1',Error 12154 attaching to destination LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_2 standby host 'STANDRR1',ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified".

Loved Windows Easy Transfer. For non-domain user accounts it was a great little tool. Will miss that feature.
Wonder if MS will bring in anything similar in future upgrades?

Lost Log & Transfer information

searched forums but didn't find:
Was logging clips in Log & Transfer from firewire drive. Had dragged many clips to queue to batch with the intention of actually importing them on another machine. I saved my project, and was hitting appleS every 5 clips or so. FCP quit unexpectedly (its never expected) and when I reopened the clips were gone. Tried restoring; no help. Tried two different auto-save projects; no help.
Again, hadn't done anything except log a lot of clips and place them in the queue. Can ANYONE help me recover them, or are they gone in the ether? BTW, have been on hold with Applecare for almost 1/2 an hour.
Should have done it on an Avid...
Thanks in advance.
D

Thanks, David. I was hoping that comment would be taken in the spirit in which it was intended. Obviously, I'm using FCP for the right reasons. Just don't know it very well, yet. Hence my mistake:
I talked to a tech at apple care who told me that when using "Log & Transfer" (NOT Log & Capture) you do not record any of the metadata until you actually transfer the clips. In other words, you can't add a bunch of clips to the queue and come back later and transfer them. If you close FCP without running the transfer you lose all clip information that you've collected.
In this instance I was logging clips from a LaCie external drive loaded with P2 media, attached to the MacBook via firewire.
So the bottom line is that I wasn't using the software correctly, which is 99 times out of 100 the case with problems like these.
Appreciate the help, and pardon the sloppy posting, but I was trying to get my client back up and running. So, for future reference, I'll include it.
Thanks,

Log & Transfer

I am having trouble with log and transfer. the camera I use is a Cannon HF10. When I log & Transfer all my clips appear in the log screen, but when I transfer to que I get an ! in a red box and the clip won't transfer.Never had this before. Can someone help?

There are a lot of potential causes for this. If you could do a forum search you might see a number of different possible solution.

Log & Transfer, one clip not transferring

I have successfully been able to "Log and Transfer," my videos directing into FCP 6.0.6. The three clips are not transferring. It is taking hours and it still only looks like 1/4 of it is transferred. This (3 un-transferable) clips range from around 44 minutes and 1 hour. There is 11 clips I would like to transfer over. I successfully transferred 8 of those 11 clips. It is patience I need, a whole night for it transfer my 00:44:37;04 clip?

Did all the other shots on the card come in to fcp?
It may be that the shot is corrupted. The only thing I can think of is to try moving the "card" to your startup drive.
You might go on to the website of your camera's manufacturer and see if there's any help to be found in their support area. Sometime's cameras come with software which is often pc only. If you have access to a pc, you might try the software and see if you have any more luck. Once you've got the file onto a pc, you may be able to convert it to a fcp friendly format.
Good Luck

LOG AND TRANSFER not working after upgrade ...?

Hi ..
I am running FCP 6.0.5
I am using Mac OSX 10.5.6
I've been using the 'log and transfer' window of FCP for the past few months without any trouble ... until today.
Every time i transfer the clips everything appears to go smoothly, but then when the 'transferred' clip is played back there is an odd 'jumping' or 'glitching' ... IE: the resulting footage is definitely NOT usable.
The only thing that i can think of that's changed is the fact that I upgraded the software last thursday and i probably hadn't transferred any footage since then. Is there an FCP conflict with the latest quicktime or Itunes upgrades?
I have tried re-transferring some clips from last week before the upgrade and the transfers now have the glitches.
I need this working as soon as possible! I have deadlines! Anyone who can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know why Log & Transfer in Final Cut Express is cutting clips short?

I am using Final Cut Express 4.0.1. For some reason, Log & Transfer in Final Cut Express is cutting short my clips. It's only a few seconds on each clip, and I've noticed it cuts off more the larger the clip is. However, I does not appear to cap my clip length or size, which means it is not due to some maximum size import setting.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated, as this is really frustrating!
Thanks!

Hi Cade,
SD card readers should work fine to Log and Transfer the footage in FCE, as long as the SD card stores the full file directory.

FCE4 will not log and capture long clips.

FCE4 will not capture clips 3 min. or longer from a Canon HF100. It just gives an error mark at the end of the process with no explanation. The capture process freezes on long clips with the Canon HV 30. I can capture short clips with both but nothing over 3 min. Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes, I use the log and transfer for the HF100 AVCHD. I have transfered and edited several 1-2 min. clips but I am trying to transfer a 9 min. clip and at the end of the transfer process FCE4 displays a error mark next to the clip with no explanation as to why there was an error in the transfer. I use the capture mode for the HV30 and I have also captured and edited 1-2 min. clips but the 9 min. clip freezes after a few minutes of capturing. I am using a Western Digital external drive with USB connection for the scratch disc. I have no problems with short clips just the 9 min. one. Any ideas. Thanks

Log and transfer not changing frame rate to slow motion on P2 cards...

Hello.
I swear I have done this before on final cut studio 2 and it came out correctly, but for some reason this time, either myself or the computer is making an error. (chances are it's me).
Basically, I'm logging and transferring footage that was shot on P2 at 50 fps, and my intention is to import it at 23.98 fps. I thought this is something that naturally happens in the log and transfer process, but i guess not?
My project was set up via easy set up at panasonic dvcproHD frame rate 23.98... and I'm logging an d transferring directly into my browser but the f frame rate stays at 50 fps. (footage was shot in England to be incorporated into a video already shot in America).

I thought this is something that naturally happens in the log and transfer process, but i guess not?
Your guess is right...it DOES NOT slow it down upon injest. ONLY if you set the camera up to shoot 720p25 and then choose the 50 frame rate (I hear this is what you do...I am not a camera guy, so...), then it will import slowed down. But you have to set the camera up CORRECTLY. The first time I imported slow mo, it was 60p...and I had to use the Frame Rate Converter to slow the clips. Then my camera guy figured out the setting in camera and BOOM...there it was.
So...I guess you are NOT wrong...actually. It just needs to be set up IN CAMERA in order to do what you want.
and I don't know if the Frame Rate Converter works for PAL footage...stupid, but...no...Stupid.
