Problems with Log& capture AVCHD files in Final cut 7.0.3

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to log and capture a hole file of AVCDH (with several clips in it) in Final cut 7.0.3.
When I open the file final cut only detects have of the clips, the others are with duration: 0 and no content.
The first ones are succesfully transfered.
Can anyone help me?
The files were recorded in AVCHD 1080p 50.
Thanks.
Raquel

That's why you can't convert...you are converting the supported frame rates.
yes, EditReady is TONS better. They are always on top of the latest AVCHD formats (every camera uses a different variant of AVCHD).  It used to be that they had two apps...EditReady for QT formats and  ClipWrap2 for AVCHD...but they have now rolled all of those features into EditReady...one app for everything. They have a free demo so you can try it and see for yourself.

  • Capturing AVCHD straight to Final cut express

    I have a Canon vixia HF10 camera that films in AVCHD. Mostly i have been importing to IMovie but I am trying to learn how to capture it straight into Final Cut Express. Any Help with how i can import the AVCHD files?

    Hi,
    You need to plug in your camera to your Mac, turn on the camera, and then go to the Log and Transfer window under the File menu. Your camera will show up there with all your individual files. You can select which one (or even parts of the files) you want to import. It's pretty easy; I have the same camera. Bear in mind, you need to have shot your material in FXP (the highest quality HD) in order for FCE to import it (at least, that's what I've read, and I haven't bothered to test the lower quality stuff for importing). Hope this helps.

  • Retrieving imported AVCHD files from Final Cut Pro X

    Hi there, does anyone know how to retrieve raw AVCHD clips from Final Cut Pro X, after they have been imported? I shot some footage on my GH2 and it DID import from the camera into FCP X, but it's not running smooth at all. I heard that it's better to convert the files into pro res first, but I wanted to see if it worked. It does work, but not very well. So now I want to find the original video files I imported and convert them into pro res and then import again. Anyone had experience with this?

    I think it all comes back to work flow. The whole reason I have opted to convert the original files to pro res is because it is choppy in the timeline when I'm editing. It seems it's true that FCP X really prefers to work with 'optimized media'...or Pro Res instead of reformatted versions of AVCHD. I would like to work with this original format, mainl because the footage isn't as compressed and hasn't lost a generation...and look absolutely pure and gorgeous in high bit rate from my GH2, however, what choice do I have but to convert to Pro Res if I am unable to edit smoothly? I think Ian had the right idea when he said to compare the footage of both, but again, if I can't even edit in AVCHD then what's the point? I think Apple needs to rectify this in the next update as I'm sure there are so many users out there who would prefer editing in this original format. Is there a noticeable loss of quality, that's what I am curious about.

  • How to Import AVCHD Files in Final Cut Express 4

    Hello,
    I try to import (log) my AVCHD files from a Panasonic HD Cam. The camcorder setting is 1920x1080 25i (HG). The logging-preview is fine but no matter which preferences I use in FCE 4, the clips are not synchronized. Video is a little bit fasterthan audio. How can I synchronize that?

    Shoot and edit in standard video formats and use Graeme Nattress' Film Look plugin.
    This? http://www.nattress.com/Products/filmeffects/filmeffects.htm
    So my best bet is to shoot in 1440x1080 (12Mbps) and a frame rate of either 60i or PF30 when using FCE4?
    What is the difference between 60i and PF30 frame rates?
    I am using a Canon HF10.

  • Need help with editing AVCHD files in Final Cut Express 4

    The AVCHD files were recorded on a Canon HG10 before I bought a Mac Pro OS X 15.1.
    I transfered them to a file on my desktop, like the instructions tell me to do, but when I get to the part of "mount the media files in the log and transfer", I get stuck.
    The file is named AVCHD and when I try to upload it into the Log and Transfer window through the little plus sign on the left hand top corner, I get the following message:
    "AVCHD" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media."
    It does not allow me to import the files individually. I tried dragging the files to where it says "Drag media here" and nothing happens. If I try to drag the file to the area in the top left corner of log and transfer, I get the same message as above.
    What do I need to do?

    I have a different camcorder, but my experience might be of help to you.
    I have a Sony HDR-UX1 AVCHD camcorder that records to 8cm DVDs.
    I tried using Apple Final Cut Express 4's FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command to capture directly from the 8cm DVD, which resided in an external Sony DVD drive... and I was not successful.
    Then, I remembered my experience on Windows XP where I used Corel's Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus.
    With Ulead VideoStudio 11 Plus, I found I had to drag the contents of removable media discs and disks to my Windows desktop, which then allowed me to use the software video capture tools successfully.
    So I tried the same thing with Apple Final Cut Express 4.
    I dragged the BDMV FOLDER on my 8cm AVCHD disc to my Mac's desktop.
    I then used the FILE > LOG AND TRANSFER command and simply browsed to the folder on the desktop and -- Voila! -- the contents of the folder appeared as video thumbnails in the LOG AND TRANSFER WINDOW and everything worked.
    Hope this helps,

  • Problem with picture in burned DVD from Final Cut Express quicktime file

    I use Final Cut Express HD to edit. On more than one occasion, I have exported a movie using quicktime conversion and then used iDVD to burn it to a DVD. Every time I do this, the DVD's picture is shaky, especially when there is fast motion. I have tried burning with both the best performance and best quality settings in iDVD and it doesn't make a difference. The same problem occured when I tried to use a friend's computer to do the same thing. We both have the new 20" iMacs. I am not sure if it is Final Cut or iDVD that is the problem, but quicktime files that are not from Final Cut Express are not a problem. I have a feeling it is a setting somewhere that needs to be changed. Thanks!

    Greetings.
    I've personally never used iDVD for any sort of DVD authoring, but the symptoms that you're describing are giving me the impression that there may be an issue with the MPEG 2 encode. Again, I don't know iDVD so you might be better off asking this question in the iDVD forum.

  • Problems with snow leopard, labtop, desktop, and final cut 4.0.1

    Hello - I was in the apple store awhile ago to have my Mac OS X 10.6.5 worked on. They updated the operating system to snow leopard 10.6. When we got back we reinstalled Final Cut Express, which I have been using on my laptop Mac OS X 10.5.8. I use an external hard drive to store all my videos that I work on for people, and I like to be able to either work on the laptop or my desktop. I hooked my hard drive to the desktop, and tried to open up files I have been working on my laptop, and it says. Files format is too new for this version of the application. Then I take a FCE video that I have been working on my desktop, and try to open it up on the laptop, and it says. File format of this project is from an earlier version. Would you like to update this project file. I say yes, and it says the files are offline. I don't know what to do to make these compatible. They are both FCE 4.0.1. The only difference is the new operating system. Thanks for your help.  ~Nancy

  • Can I Transfer iMovie files to Final Cut Express HD?

    I have just upgraded from iMovie to Final Cut Express HD.... I had captured 15 hours of world travel movies in iMovie and realized I needed a more powerful application to do the travel movies justice. But I am wondering if I can use the raw material that I imported or.... YUCK>... if I will have to re-capture the files in Final Cut. Can anyone let me know a solution that saves time?
    Thanks

    posted many moons ago.
    apologies for naff formatting (reposted from an old blog post on an old website). Piero, do you fancy taking this on and hosting it? Improving it? I'm still out of the video editing world so I'm not really interested in reviving any of my old stuff yet.
    File below is hosted on my mac so if the link is down, try again later.
    This is only any good for DV stuff. No HDV stuff
    =======OLD POST 1=========================
    OK, here's what I'd do based on what I've tried so far in getting iMovie
    .dv files into FCE and avoiding having to render.
    Open your iMovie .dv file in Quicktime Pro.
    Extract the audio track
    Export the audio track as a Quicktime Movie, Linear PCM format, Channels Stereo (L R), 48kHz, 16bit sample size
    Delete the audio track from the .dv file
    Open the exported audio file, select all and copy.
    Select All in the .dv file
    Add the exported Audio file using Add to Movie
    Export/Save As the .dv file as a self contained Quicktime Movie
    Use this movie in FCE
    The benefit of this approach as opposed to exporting .dv file in one go is
    that the only thing that is truely exported, etc is the Audio track which is
    relatively quick. The video track is left unchanged so there is no loss in
    quality.
    The resultant file never has to be rendered in FCE.
    ==========OLD POST 2====================
    Download: i5m_iMovie2FCE v0.9
    It's an Applescript droplet that you can drag the iMovie DV stream media files onto and it'll run away and convert them. There's also a standalone version of the script if you want to run it from the script menu on individual files, etc. It's a 0.9 release since for ease of development in Applescript it doesn't include any error handling, etc. Also I've just realised it assumes 16 bit audio.

  • Problems with Log and Capture

    hi, i have been trying to capture my tapes in Final Cut Pro but i keep getting this message:
    "capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape"
    i am capturing the tape on a simple cannon camcorder but the tape was originally filmed on an HD camcorder - could this be the problem?
    i have captured before with this camera, the wires, and everything else!
    thanks

    HDV decks aren't cheap... figure about $3,000 US... MIght get someone with a deck to capture it for you or rent a Deck. If shot with a Canon or JVC camera, you need a JVC Deck. If shot with a Sony camera, you need a sony deck.

  • How to import MXF files to Final Cut Pro with smooth editing

    Summary: Follow this tutorial to learn how to import and edit MXF files in Final Cut Pro by converting MTS to FCP native format.
    If you have a Panasonic P2, Canon XF or Sony XDCAM series camcorder,
    you may be familiar with Material eXchange Format (MXF). Though MXF is a
    great video format to record high-definition videos, it is not easy to
    use in that they are not natively supported by most NLE systems like
    Final Cut Pro. In order to import MXF to FCP for editing, the easy workaround is to transcode MXF files to FCP compatible video formats.
    Along with some help from a top MXF Converter, it can be done. To
    help those who wanna edit MXF files in FCP without problems, here I
    share with you a simple guide on how to convert MXF files to edit in
    Final Cut Pro 6/7 or FCP X.
    First of all, downloading the App- Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac
    Overall, the program is a professional yet easy-to-use MXF Converter
    on Mac (Mavericks included) which can not only convert XF100, Canon
    C300, XF105 and XF305, Panasonic P2 recorded MXF files, but also provide
    simple video editing functions for you. The MXF to FCP Converter not
    only can convert MXF to ProRes for FCP, but also can transcode MXF
    videos for editing in Avid MC, Adobe Premiere Pro, iMovie, FCE, etc.
    Just download it and follow the tutorial below to get the work done.
    Transcoding (P2) MXF files to ProRes for Final Cut Pro 6/7/X
    1. Import MXF files to the converter
    Launch the best MXF to FCP Converter, and then click the “add files” button to browse and import MXF videos from your camcorder or hard drive.
    2. Select FCP editable format
    Click the Format bar, and move mouse cursor to choose “Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422 (*.mov)” as output format.
    Tips:
    a. Settings- click to set video
    resolution(1920×1080/1440×1080/1280×720/720×480), bitrate (from 1Mbps to
    20Mbps), frame rate (24p/30p)
    b. Editor (next to “Add” icon)- click to set deinterlace, trim, crop, add effect, attach subtitles, etc
    3. Start transcoding MXF video to FCP
    Click “Convert” button to start converting MXF files to Apple ProRes
    MOV for FCP 6/7/X under Mac OS. Once the MXF to ProRes 422 conversion
    is done, you can transfer MXF footage into Final Cut Pro (X) for editing
    smoothly on Mac with ease.

    You may refer to this step by step guide on how to convert MXF to Final Cut Pro more supported Apple ProRes or DV at http://www.idealshare.net/imovie-fcp/mxf-final-cut-pro.html
    It also applies to convert MXF to other video or audio format. It even applies to convert other videos like AVCHD, MOD, TOD, AVI, and MPEG etc to FCP format.

  • Problem with image capture

    I am having a weird issue with Image capture. When I connect my digital camera, my computer does not always recognize that there is a digital camera being attached, so I can not get the camera to mount and get the pictures of the camera.
    It is not a cable issue. The camera mounts instantly when I use a Win 2000 machine that I have at work using the same cable. I have tried to reformat the SD card several times.
    I have OS 10.4.8 on a 17 inch iMac Rev B). I have iPhoto v 5.0.4. This used to work very well initially, and has steadily gotten worse.
    Any tips? Thanks
    17 iMac Rev B   Mac OS X (10.4.1)  

    Hi, Romulo.
    1. What make/model of camera? Is it listed on the Mac OS X Digital Camera Support page?
    2. Since you've mentioned Image Capture, I presume you do not mean iPhoto, i.e. you expect the Image Capture application (located in the Macintosh HD > Applications folder) to launch when you connect the camera. Is the camera recognized in iPhoto?
    3. Try connecting the camera to a different USB port on your Mac. If you're connecting the camera to a USB hub (and your keyboard is a USB hub), try connecting the camera to a USB port directly on your Mac.
    4. Is the camera battery fully charged, or is the camera powered via an AC power supply when you connect it to the Mac?
    5. Try deleting the Image Capture preferences. There are at least four preferences files associated with Image Capture:• The file com.apple.ImageCaptureApp.plist in your Home > Library > Preferences folder.
    •  In your Home > Library > Preferences > ByHost folder, the files:• com.apple.ImageCapture2.xxx.plist
    • com.apple.ImageCaptureExtension2.xxx.plist
    • com.apple.ImageCaptureCamera.xxx.plist
    where xxx is an alphanumeric string.6. You indicated the problem is intermittent: are you using certain other USB peripherals when the problem occurs vs. when it does not?
    7. Immediately after the problem occurs, check the ends of these Console logs for clues. Clues might include messages related to Image Capture or USB at the time the problem occurs.
    Good luck!

  • Help intermittent problem with logging in

    Help i have intermittent problem with logging in, sometimes it just comes up with the desktop without any icons or dock and i have to restart the server so i can log on properly, but it doesn't happen all the time, any ideas would be appreciated???

    The clients login window just shakes and won't login. I did find one thing that helps some of my Mac Lab woes.
    Some students get a dock that only has 3 icons. These students also will have saving and printing problems when they get this default dock.
    I think some of the problems occur when the student gets over quota, some preference files get corrupted.
    1. Student will login.
    2. Open the student's home folder. Then open Library and Preferences.
    3. Find the file com.apple.homesync.plist and delete it.
    4. Empty Safari Cache and the user's Trash Can and make sure they are not over quota.
    5. Logout and login.
    This will fix some problems, but not the problem when students can't login at all.

  • How to Import AVCHD 1080/60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7?

    How do I import AVCHD 1080 / 60p Files into Final Cut Pro 7? And if there is no direct way [I certainly haven't found one, but I'm no expert], what additional software would be used? I want to import the files from a Panasonic HDC-HS700 onto an Intel Mac laptop [Mac OSX 10.5.8]? Obviously I don't want to compress & compromise my footage.
    I’m sure a simple, straightforward series of steps would help many people with this issue.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the response!
    I'm guessing you've found ClipWrap2 to be better than competing products [such as AVCHD Converter for Mac, Toast Titanium, or Voltaic].
    On to the next steps. Using Clipwrap2, would I leave the checkbox "Convert Audio to LPCM" selected or deselected [and what the heck is LPCM?]. In the pulldown menu would I choose "Rewrap (Don't alter video samples)" or do I save a step by choosing "Apple ProRes 422"?
    And finally, am I gaining anything by shooting 1080/60p on this Panasonic HD Camera other than a headache? [Some have suggested this is not a True 60p.]
