My Log and Transfer window is not displaying properly in Final Cut Pro 7.0.3

I installed an add-in to import files from a Canon FX-100 camera.   When I tried to work with some files that had been recorded on this camera, the left panel of the Log and Transfer screen disappeared.  Nothing that I have tried - stretching or expanding the window, restarting the Final Cut, or the Mac have worked.

This forum is for FCP X only.
You need the Final Cut Studio forum for legacy FCP.
Try trashing the preferences with this free app.
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP  stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.

Shut down FCP , open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only  FCP   is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP .

  • Audio Transitions not working properly in Final Cut Pro 5.1.4

    I am noticing that I can't change the audio transitions on the timeline as I used to be able to do. Now I get a prompt to go to the Browser and select the audio transitions there which is not how I've done it previously. Before, I just clicked on the timeline audio clip, made a transition and then typed the duration of the transition in the Viewer. So, I'm wondering if I should trash the plist for FCP or do something else? The video transitions seem to work fine as they always have.
    Thanks for any help!

    Let me explain this better. When I click on an audio clip in the timeline I get this prompt:
    No default transition to add. Please set a default transition in the Effects Tab in the Browser before performing this command.
    I've never had to do this before, so I wonder if anyone knows why this suddenly is happening?

  • Why does Final Cut Express 4 quit automatically when I open Log and Transfer window?

         I'm using a Sony NXCAM and I am editing on a Mac OS X. The clips I have recorded are in MTS format so I understand I must use the Log and Transfer setting to import my clips. I plug the camera into my computer, go into Final Cut Express 4, turn the camera on, and then go into the Log and Transfer window. Once I open that, Final Cut quits and an error message pops up that reads, "Final Cut Express quit unexpectedly." Final Cut quits too fast for me to even click on anything in the Log and Transfer window. I really don't understand why it does this. The only thing I can think of why Final Cut is quitting is because I have over 100 clips on the camera, so maybe that is too much for Final Cut Express 4 to handle. However, I wouldn't think that would be the case. If anyone knows of anything I could do to fix this problem, then please send me a reply. I've looked around the internet to see if anyone else has had this problem, but I haven't found anything. Thank you, any responses will be greatly appreciated!

    Shooted videos directly saved to the SD memory card is no problem, the log and transfer window immediately recognizes the sd card and I was able to convert the videos. I will check later today if this were 25p, 50i or 50p footages.
    Strangely enough is that transferring the .mts files from the internal memory to the sd card (using the Mac finder, I don't know if it is possible within the camera itself) won’t help, the log and transfer window doesn't the recognizes the transferred files, strange!
    I hope that this problem will not occur using Final Cut Pro X, which I will start using soon.
    I'm curious what the exact problem will be.

  • Canon HF11 not showing up in log and transfer window

    I am using FC Studio 6.0.6 and a Canon HD USB camera. The camera does not show up in the log and transfer window. It shows up on the desktop, works with iMovie '09 but not FCP. If I try to select files from the camera they are greyed out. Strange thing is is that it works fine on my iMac just not my MBP. I have trashed the FCP and Quicktime preferences but this did not help. HELP please.

    I also am wondering what you mean by "file structure"? Do you mean the AVCHD files or something in FCP?
    If you look for a particular file on a drive, there's a file structure or "path" to get to it. For instance;
    Macintosh HD > Users > Nick > Documents > FCP > Projects > My latest project.
    If I don't follow that path, I won't get to the file I am looking for.
    Similarly, Final Cut Pro is expecting to see a certain path to the actual video files on your camera's Flash drive. If a folder name along the way is missing or had it's name changed, the path is no longer valid.

  • Camera is not Appearing in Log and Transfer Window

    Hello All,
    I feel like I should be able to solve this on my own, but I'm stuck. I've been using a Cannon HF S10 (AVCHD) for a few months. Up until about a week ago when I have connected the camera to my iMac and opened the Log and Transfer window all of the clips on the camera have appeared, but now they don't. I had this happen another time with a different camera and and after trashing the FCE preferences I was able to see the clips in the L&T window. So I trashed the FCE preferences, but this time I still do not get the clips in the L&T window.
    The camera mounts to my desktop and also appears in Finder, so I tired clicking on the "Add Folder" button on the top left corner of the L&T screen and adding "CANNON". This did not produce the clips in the L&T widow. I also tried to add the folder that is one level down labeled "AVCHD", but this did not work either.
    Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, in advance.
    Marc

    Ok...nevermind. All of the thumbnails appeared. There are a lot of clips on the camera, so I'm guessing that this is the reason for the lengthy loading time.

  • AVCHD Clips Showing Up Black in Log and Transfer Window

    I'm doing some work for a client with some footage shot on a Sony NX5U. I'm trying to ingest the AVCHD clips into FCP 7.0.3 via the Log and Transfer window. I can pull up a list off all the clips in L&T and some of the clips work. Numerous other clips though, just show a black screen and have no audio. You cannot play the video in the preview window, although the box that shows the duration of each clip does show a time for each clip selected, so it must see something there. If I try to add any of the problem clips to the transfer queue, it tries for a few seconds to transfer the clip, then it gives the error with the red exclamation mark and stops. All the other clips transfer fine.
    I'm fairly certain that the problem is something with FCP because I can load the same clips into adobe premiere without any issues. I can also watch all of the same files in VLC player, so the problem doesn't appear to be a corrupt file or anything of that sort. I've tried the same steps and had the same results with the files on a memory card and the files copied off to my hard drive. I did receive the memory card from the client and did not shoot the footage myself, so its possible that something was messed up on his end, but the file structure appears to all be in tact, as near as I can tell.
    Here are a couple things I've already tried that didn't appear to help
    --Trashing the preferences to FCP
    --Switching the transfer codec from Apple Pro Res to AIC
    --Changing the scratch disks from an external hard-drive to the internal drive
    Any suggestions anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated! I have transferred footage off this camera before with no issues, so I'm not sure why it's having problems now

    we're all the files shot in the same format?  Not all formats are compatible with fcp.  If you can bring the files into premiere, you can use the adobe media encoder to convert to prores and then work with them in fcp.  The interface on the adobe media encoder is not particularly intuitive at least in CS 5.5.  I use it for this kind of thing every few months and every time I have to figure it out again.  May be early onset alzheimers, but I don't think so.

  • AVCHD Import Error In Log And Transfer Window

    Hey,
    I just bought FCE4 and also a canon hf100 camera. When i try to ingest clips from the camera (in avchd format) with the log and transfer window an error icon comes up and says : "error: no data" and the file is not successfully imported. I tried switching my audio preferences to normal stereo instead of matrix but that did not help.
    Any help would be great!
    Jackson

    What format exactly did you shoot with that camera? What settings are you using in FCE?

  • Can't access the Logging Items section of the Log and Transfer window.

    Yesterday I was able to select and ingest clips and rename clips from my Canon Vixia SFH11 camcorder using the logging items section of the log and transfer window in FCP 7. Today, that section of the L&T window is gone! and every time I try and change a clip name or rename a clip it either ignores the change or it tries to save the new clip with a higher numbered name (ie. Clip #102, Clip # 103).
    I know if must be a setting that I am missing or a procedure I skipped.
    I want my logging items section back!
    I've restarted and tried rebooting to no avail. Anybody have a clue?

    Hi -
    If you are missing both panes of the Log and Transfer window, you may have swiped the dividing bar over to the side to display one pane only.
    Place your cursor over the bar on the side (you'll see the cursor switch to a reposition indicator)

    and pull it back to the middle:

    Hope this helps.

  • How do I select ProRes 422 on Log and Transfer window?

    I went to preferences in upper right of log and transfer window, saw ProRes 422 was listed there but, still not seeing my clips after ingest say ProRes 422.
    I have Capture preset also set to ProRes 422 in FCP 6.06

    Yes, it only has that choice of ProRes 422 but, its not in that format after ingest.
    I select TRANSCODE TO and it only has Apple ProRes 422 check marked.
    Format says HDV1080p30 under compressor column in my log in Bin not ProRes422.
    Wish I knew why its not importing correctly.
    24p imports and converts to ProRes422 perfectly but, Im in 30p on this project.

  • Cannot reconnect to Canon HF11 in Log and Transfer window

    I am using a Canon HF11 HD camcorder with FCEHD and was able to view, log and transfer clips into FCE without a problem. I saved the project on FCE but when I came back the first time, it told me that several clips were missing and could not reconnect to the media. When I came back a second time, now it will not recognize the camera in the log and transfer window. Anyone else had a similar problem? Any suggestions would be great.
    Thanks

    I was having the same issue with a Canon HF S100. What seem to work for me was connecting the camera AFTER I opened the Log and Transfer window. Read my complete description on this thread, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9573812#9573812.

  • Why won't Express find my camera in the Log and Transfer window??

    I plug my Sony DCR45 Hard Disk Drive camera in. I switch it to USB connect mode, and then I enter the Log and Transfer window. I wait a good 15 to 20 minutes each time and it just won't locate my camera! How can I fix this?

    Well, your camcorder is not AVCHD, HDV or DV, so Final Cut Express is not going to 'see' your camcorder.
    Sony's specs on this camcorder leave something to be desired, but it does say the camera records MPEG2-PS. If this is the case, you will need to convert the video to DV or Apple Intermediate Codec before importing it into FCE.
    For most purposes, MPEG Streamclip can do the conversion however with MPEG2 material it needs the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component ($20) which you can buy & download from the Apple Store.

  • The log and transfer window???

    where is the log and transfer window to import media from my Sony HVR-DR60 drive

    Grant
    Under file use Import from Camera or Command I.
    I have been able to do so using a Canon Vixia HV 30 & 40 HDV firewire camera.
    It imported my footage without any problem.

  • All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    All of my titles, themes and generators seem to be completely missing from Final cut pro x. Do you know how to get them back?

    Do you mean that when you click the title browser, for example, nothing is there?
    Do you at least see several categories listed in the effects browser?
    First make sure that you have nothing typed into the search box (not even spaces).
    If you still see nothing, try this in order:
    1) Window->Revert to Original Layout
    2) Quit FCP X, delete preferences using Preference Manager (a free download from Digital Rebellion)
    3) Download FCS Remover, and use it to completely remove FCP X. This will NOT delete your content, just the application.
    4) Reinstall FCP X from the Mac App Store: log in with the same Apple ID that you used to buy FCP X, click on "Purchases", locate FCP X and click Install.

  • The document "2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy" could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.

    The document “2147483647-11-06 06_00_00.FinalCutCopy” could not be opened. Final Cut Pro cannot open files of this type.
    I was importing media, and closed out of the media before stoping the media import. This is how the file saved on the hard drive.
    I need to get this file into a format that FCP can open. Is there a way to export a .FinalCutCopy file into a .mov file???
    Any insights would be VERY HELPFUL!

    I was able to figure it out. I renamed the file type to a .mov format and quicktime was able to open it. Then I saved that file format on the desktop, and imported in after I opened FCP. The file then imported and I was able to access the whole video clip I had! Thanks for your help!
