Log & Transfer w/Canon t1i

I've installed the CanonEOSPlugin & changed the cameras.plist as described here:
http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/canon-eos-rebel-t2i-eos-550d-hd/475295-canon-eos-fin al-cut-plugin-will-work-t2i.html
I've read this thread which relates to my question:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11691022&#11691022
When I go to FCP File>Log & Transfer, the screen comes up, but nothing shows up in the queue. If I try to add a folder & point to any of the folders via my card reader, I get a warning message that says "... contains unsupported media or contains an invalid directory structure..."
My footage is 720p. I'm using a card reader & other info is listed below in my profile. Anyone else have any luck with this plug-in &/or suggestions for getting it to work with my setup?

Yes, I performed the hack. Here it is... does it look right to you? I read somewhere to move the T1i to the top so I did. See below.
Yes, I copied the whole card. There were 2 folders & I dragged them both over to a new folder I created on the external hard drive called Rebel. When I point to that Rebel folder, I still get the warning message.
Thanks for your help.

  • 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.

  • AVCHD log & transfer for Canon HF M31

    Hi there,
    I just got my Canon HF M31. I tested it for 1920 x 1080. I did the log & transfer but there was nothing, no thumbnails.
    So, I click the top right icon to indicate the folder. When there are so many folders & subfolders in the SDHC card.
    Can I know whether am I supposed to click the filenames or the folder's name ? What files format am I supposed to look out for ?
    Thanks

    The top level means the top level. Select the card. Do not go inside it to any folder.
    Sorry Tom, what I meant was, there was no clips (or thumbnails) on the log & transfer window ...
    What I did was I select the highest level, ie the topmost level of the SDHC card but there are no clips whatsover in the log & transfer window.
    But I am sure my Macbook can detect the SDHC card (bcos I can read/see the content of the card in the FINDER), it is only which folder to select in the log & transfer window.
    Which one to select is tedious bcos there are so many folders & sub-folders. Ok, the default structure of the SDHC card is as follows:
    Level 1, NONAME
    Level 2, PRIVATE
    Level 3, AVCHD, MY_MUSIC
    Level 4 (for AVCHD), BDMV, CANON, CANONTHM
    Level 5 (for BDMV), STREAM, and many other subfolders .....
    Level 6 (for STREAM), 0000.MTS, 0001.MTS, 0002.MTS, 0003.MTS ... 006.MTS
    My guess is that 0000.MTS, 0001.MTS, 0002.MTS, 0003.MTS ... 006.MTS are the clips, so I select the folder STREAM whose structure is as follows:
    NONAME > PRIVATE > AVCHD > BDMV > STREAM
    but it doesn't work (meaning no clips, no thumbnails)
    So, I select PRIVATE, also no clips or no thumbnails !!
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks
    Ok, here's an update:
    I clicked on the NONAME folder & waited. It took 2 mins before all the 7 clips/icons/thumbnails appear in the Log & Transfer window.
    I tried clicking on AVCHD, it also took 2 mins to appear but the folder is named as NONAME instead of AVCHD.
    At times I randomly clicked other folders, AVCHD appeared .... dunno why ...
    QUESTION:
    Now I have 7 clips of about 5 mins long each & it took 2 mins to appear in the Log & Transfer window. If later I record more videos & add on many more clips into the SDHC card, will it take even longer for the clips/thumbnails to appear ?
    Thanks

  • 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 and Transfer with Canon XF300's after 1.0.2 Firmware upgrade

    Yes, just experienced it yesterday at a shoot after upgrading to 1.0.2 two days ago. Have you found a solutions yet?

  • Canon Vixia, Log & Transfer, .MTS help!

    I have a Canon Vixia. I used to be able to use Log and Transfer to ingest the footage into my Final Cut Pro 7, but all of a sudden it doesn't work. My macbook doesn't even recognize the MTS files, they are greyed out when I use the "Add Volume" button. Did I do something to the camera? I tried various solutions on the apple forums and other sources like copying everything on the SD card and putting it on my desktop and pointing Log & Transfer to the Root folder, but nothing has worked thus far. Any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance!!

    If you have made no changes to your camera, and Log and Transfer has suddenly stopped working - the first step is to trash your FCP preferences.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1846?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The easy way to do that is to download Preference Manager (free) from Digital Rebellion:
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    Preference Manger will let you archive your existing preferences if you should want to return to them.
    If you trash your preferences, restart FCP and have the same problem, post back.
    Also, when looking in your manual, see if your camera has a feature that will correct/fix the directory structure on the camera storage card.

  • 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 & Transfer of AVCHD fails to transfer - Write TimeCodeTrack Error -2008

    Hi,
    I'm testing out my new Canon HF11 and copied the AVCHD directory for a test shot onto my hard drive, created a new project in FCE 4.01, created a Bin, set it to default capture bin, then started Log & Transfer.
    When I select the AVCHD directory I see the two clips I recorded, and I can preview them in the L&T preview window. Dragging them to the Transfer Queue works, and I see the spinning disk to indicate it is being processed. After the progress bar reaches 100% the disk stops spinning, but there is nothing in the Bin.
    When I click on the clip in the transfer window it changes to indicate there was an error.
    Looking in the COnsole log shows:

  • Log & Transfer - cannot import in

    My friend bought the same camcorder as me (Canon HF M31) so that he can sent me his SD card for me to edit his video.
    When I received his SD card,I tried to do a Log & Transfer using the highest level but I got this message:
    "No Name" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure.
    What happened ? My friend recorded in FXP which is AVCHD 1920 x 1080 in PAL.
    What did he possibly could have done to make the card:
    a) contain unsupported media
    or
    b) invalid directory structure ?
    I also tried copying the mts files into my own sd card (which has no problem) but that mts files did not appear when I did a Log & Transfer using my own sd card.
    What happen ? why is that so ?
    Thanks

    What settings are you using? What version of the software?
    I have no idea what FXP means. That's some Canon code.
    Hi Tom,
    My sequence settings are AVCHD 1920 x 1080 i50. My final cut is the latest version 4.0.1.
    FXP is just Canon's code for AVCHD 1920 x 1080. The camcorder is in PAL.
    Before this, I can log & transfer without a problem.
    The issue here is the SD card from my friend is giving me this problem.
    I need to tell my friend what causes the *unsupported media* OR *invalid directory structure*. I am puzzled because we used the same camcorder model number & I have no problem with mine !
    Any ideas ?

  • Log & Transfer 5D Mark II Footage

    Hello all,
    Well I just bought an Imac 27" and Final Cut Studio in order to work with my Canon 5D Mark II video files. I've been a PC guy my whole life so I'm trying to figure out Final Cut Pro which is pretty similar to Adobe Premiere. Anyways from what I have gathered, I need to Log & Transfer my files but convert them to ProRes422. I see the option in the Log & Transfer area to choose ProRes but there are 4 different choices.
    ProRes422 (HQ)
    ProRes422
    ProRes422 LT
    ProRes422 Proxy
    I'm guessing I want HQ but I'm not exactly sure what the difference is between these choices. What would be the best choice in order to edit 5D Mark II footage in FCP for the web and or DVDs?
    Thanks!

    It'd be great if you did a side-by-side comparison and posted your particular findings. For a while now, the standard answer has been "ProRess 422" but it seems like some folks are getting acceptable results with going to LT.

  • Does Log & Transfer exist in FCP 5??

    This seems like such a noob question, but I've searched my manual and all my menus, as well as looking all over this forum, and I can't find "Log & Transfer" in FCP5. Log & Capture won't work with my Canon Vixia HF10. I got that.
    I can import video clips into iMovie '08 and move them over, but that seems way high on the lameness scale, and in looking at the movie properties of the resultant .mov file, looks like I lose something in the import.
    I would rather not shell out the bucks to go from FCP5 to FCP6, but if I must... sigh.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    You will need to upgrade for Log and Transfer. It is a new feature for FCS2 / FCP 6.xx

  • Canon T1i memory cards

    I have a Canon T1i and would like to know if the newer SDXC flash memory cards are supported. If yes, are there significant advantages over SDHC cards?

    Your camera supports SD and SDHC, respectively.  The SD card was the first released, and the SDXC is the most recent.  The SDHC will work best with your camera.  What you want to look at and purchase with your memory card is the Class/speed rating, which with your camera I'm guessing is maybe a recommended minimum of Class 6, and if I were you I'd go all the way and purchase a Class 10 with the greatest transfer rate.  Trust me, you won't regret it, and the cost difference is negligible when considering the cost of your camera and all its accoutrements.

  • Log & Transfer / backup

    I have a wedding and honeymoon coming up and I want to be CERTAIN that my video footage is being saved on a daily basis.
    When I use Log & Transfer for my AVCHD (Canon HF S20) media and select my external hard drive as the scratch disk, is that media truly saved and protected in it's raw state on the hard drive?
    OR, should I save the AVCHD media to the external HD and later import it to FCE for editing?
    Does the former take care of both concerns?: having media that is saved externally AND formatted for use in FCE.

    If you ingest then your video will be stored in the Apple Intermediate Codec on your scratch drive for future use.
    Alternatively (and the way I'd recommend), you could copy the whole contents of your camera to a folder as backup and then ingest from there at a more convenient time. See here for more information:

  • FCE log & transfer won't recognise DSLR

    Hi,
    I have a problem where for some reason log & transfer on FCE won't recognise my camera, I have a Canon 60D (DSLR). I have tried putting the SD card straight into the computer & also by plugging the camera into the computer via cord.
    However I am still able to import footage, I import from the SD card into iPhoto, go onto Final Cut & import. Yet for some reason when any footage, picture or text is imported to Final Cut Express, the footage is always degraded, that's why I thought log & transfer would be useful. If anyone could help that would be great.
    Thanks.

  • Missing clips when using log & transfer

    Hi everyone,
    I use a canon vixia hf m41, when I use log & transfer it works fine except some clips are missing!  There are less clips in the log and transfer window then there are in the stream folder..........

    I tried this again last night with a slightly different result.  This time, all .m4v files were copied as .mov files to the Event folder, but no clips were created in iMovie.  I then tried dragging the .mov files from the Event folder to the Event in iMovie, but I received the following error:
    "The files will not be imported.  They are not compatible with iMovie."
    So, the .mov files that iMovie itself created are not compatible with iMovie. 
    I also verified that there are no non-Apple codecs in the Library\Quicktime folder per this thread:
