Sony NX5 and Log & Transfer - Timecode set to 00:00:00:00 for SD footage

Hi,
I am trying to import footage from my Sony NX5 into Final Cut, and I notice that for SD footage, the timecode is not retined, it just sets this at 0.
Is this something Apple are working on fixing, as Sony says it is not an issue with the camera, rather the software?
Many thanks

We are on Facilis Terrablock.
Sh&t. That's it. When I read this, it was like someone hit me in the back of the head with a 2x4.
We have a 24D Terrablock. Unbelievable.
I can't understand why I didn't think of this before. we have had other little snitty issue with this thing as well. Nothing major, just little blips that didn't make sense. Couldn't build large DVDSP projects to it using hte multiwrite. And other little things.
I'll put in an email to the support (with whom I'm VERY familiar with) ASAP. I am crazy busy right now too, and don't have the time to troubleshoot very much. I have my footage, and now that I know the problem, I'll ingest to an internal drive them transfer it to the 24D. what a pain in the arse, but that's the way its gonna be until I have some time to chat with tech support.
Wow. I hope this helps you out. Is there a way to conact you off list so maybe we can share other little insights? I've yet to find another company that is using this thing that I can collaborate with.
To answer your questions, we are connected via 4gb fibre to a fibre switch with the facilis attached to the switch. We have 3 edit suites with 3 permanent volumes, one for each suite. The y are all set up single user write, not the multiwrite. We had speed issues with the multiwrite.
We did not always have this problem, and I can't recall when i updated the system from v3 to v4. Might have been connected to that.  We don't create and delete volumes per project, we just have a big bucket for each suite. We don't really share FCP projects that much, but we do share media. We don't use any MXF importers, as we like to work with self contained QT's.
Cheers-

  • Dateguard Protection Mode and log transfer doubt

    Friends,
    DB: 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) 64 bit
    OS: OEL 5.5 64 bit
    iam new to dataguard..
    i just finished the setup of primary db and physical standby in my notebook.
    the protection mode is the default one...that is...maximum performance. (primary)
    in the maximum protection mode....whenever i need the logs to transferred to physical standby..i have to do the switch logfile and also archive the current log.
    its not reflecting/transferring automatically. that is in the scott user i created a table in primary db..
    but its not reflecting in the physical standby of scott user. once i do the below...
    alter system switch logfile
    alter system archivelog currentthen its reflecting in the physical standby. so, am i have to change this mode to maximum availability or maximum protection?
    so in maximum performance mode, i have to execute the above statement whenever i need the log transport from primary to standby?
    thanks

    1. is the real-time apply can be used in all the 3 protection modes?Yes.
    2. while changing the protection mode, i have to do it in the primary db is it?Yes changes are done in primary database.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28294/protection.htm#
    3. while shutting down the physical standby and primary i just run the shutdown immediate command in standby and then in primary...is there any steps to be followed while shutting down the server or starting up the server in the dataguard environment like rac environment.?
    While shutting do this:
    Check whether primary and standby database are in SYNC and then Cancel the recovery process
    Shut down the primary database and then shut down the standby database And if you are using ASM then you have to shutdown that also.
    Stop all listeners and cluster services. Perform this step on all nodes in an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) environment.
    While starting do this:
    Start the cluster services and listener
    Start the ASM and then database
    Start the recovery process on standby database.

  • FCP and LOG & Transfer

    I upgraded from FCE to FCP two weeks ago. Everything is going well.
    I was attempting to use LGO and Transfer in FCP. But once I select the option
    menu it crashes. I used the Crash analyser and it says
    the crash thread is
    2 com.apple.P2Plugin 0x0ca8b23b TimecodeDecrement + 189
    I was able to use L&T on my desktop FCE with no problem. and pull video off my Cancon HF10.
    No with FCP crash crash crash
    any suggestions?
    I have not camera connected to my laptop and it L&T crashes.

    Whoa, wait, you're on a PowerBook, with 10.3, and installed FCP 7? QuickTime Pro version and other things are going to have major issues. Need to be on OS X 10.6 for FCP 7. You also need to be on an Intel machine for FCP 7.

  • AVCHD and Log and transfer problems

    Ok a while back we purchased a Sony NX5 and until now I haven't had to shoot any major projects with it. But every so often I have been shooting bits and pieces for our stock library. However we also have a secondary JVC GY-HM100 camera that can use the same SD cards as the NX5. So sometimes I'd shot onto a SD card in the NX5 and maybe swap it over to the JVC on another occassion.
    Well I started to run into some issues that I initially thought was a result of using the same card in both cameras. The issues were that when I brought the NX5/AVCHD rushes in FCP through Log and Transfer the clip numbers wouldn't make sense, either I'd end up with duplicates or they would suddenly jump by 200-300 increments.
    So to try and get to the bottom of this I shot an interview last night, but before starting I fomatted the 32Gb SD card in the NX5. The only thing that happened thereafter was at one point in the proceedings I lost power to the camera (loose cable), but it was not while recording.
    So this morning I pull the rushes into FCP via Log and Transfer (L&T). The way I personally do this is to copy the whole AVCHD folder on the SD card onto my Mac hard drive and thereafter point L&T to that loctaion. Incidentally when I did copy the AVCHD folder across, inside there were 38 files in the STREAM folder starting at 00000.MTS going up to 00037.MTS.
    So next I fire up FCP and point the L&T windon at said AVCHD folder on my hard drive. At this point inside the L&T window it is showing 76 clips (not 38), ie for the first half of the list it shows clips 1 - 38 followed by (further down the list) another 1 - 38 again. Both sets of clips seem identical according to what I can see on the little thumbnails.
    So none the less I let L&T convert them to ProRes and guess what clip numbers it produces in my FCP Browser window? Clips 3 - 38 followed by Clips 290 - 329. Ironically clips 328 and 329 are the same as clips 290 and 291... which also happen to be the same missing clips 1 and 2 from the 3 - 38 range.
    This is just driving me nuts, I can't possibly work on major projects with this going on!
    I have to shoot 2 more interviews tonight so can someone give me an idea of what is happening and how I can correct it?

    Thanks... and rats! Do you know whether something like Clipwrap will resolve my issues, or some other flavour thereof?
    Thanks again, at least I know that it's not me doing something ultra dumb!

  • Sony NX5U Log & Transfer Long Clips Issue

    I've used FCP Studio for a very long time, and have been using the Sony NX5U camcorder for 3 years.  Never had any problems once FCP 7.0.3 came out.  But about a year and a half ago, I started noticing long clips would crash FCP 7 just seconds before the end of the upload.  The max length seems to vary between 65 minutes and 75 minutes.  I could swear I had earlier projects with longer clips and no problem but couldn't track any down.  Yesterday I uploaded a 74 minute clip no problem, but a 93 minute clip crashed.  Today a 68 minute clip crashed the program.  Never had a problem with clips under 60 minutes.
    The upload indicator bar gets within 1/32 of an inch from the end when the crash happens.
    My work-around has been to break the clip into clips shorter than 60 minutes.  I overlap the time code by about 1 second and then put it all together on the timeline.
    I started looking at the forum today because in the last few days I recorded two separate projects each with multiple long rolls of either music performances or speeches.  Most are about 90 minutes, two as long as 180 minutes.  It's a hassle breaking these clips into shorter pieces so today I started reviewing the forum to see if anyone else has run into this.
    There doesn't seem to be a lot posting about it, and the the ones that do post seem to have different "crash" times ... I saw one having a similar problem with clips 45 minutes in length, for example.  The only suggestions offered are to use programs like Clip Wrap.
    Is this really a restriction with Sony AVCHD files and Log & Transfer in FCP 7?  I tried a few third-party solutions but they seemed cumbersome.  When FCP 7 Load & Transfer works, it works great.  It's just these 65+ minute clips that are the problem.
    I just doubleclicked on a 123 minute clip in the AVCHD Package in the Finder, and it opened fine in QuickTime Player X.  I can export it out of there. The "Movie" export did it very quickly ... less than 20 minutes ... but it ends up as an H.264 file so I would need to render in FCP 7 or deal with it in Compressor to get it to ProRes.  But it does give me one cohesive clip.
    What other experiences have users had trying to Load & Transfer long Sony AVCHD clips into FCP 7? 
    I'm OS 10.8.4 on my iMac and 7.0.3 in FCP.  I run into the same length restrictions running FCP 7 on a new MacBook Pro.  Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

    I've never worked with clips that long but have noticed a problem skimming longer clips in Log + Transfer to set in / out markers.
    My advice would be to use Clipwrap. You can either re-wrap the file or transcode it to PR.
    Their gig is file conversion so if there's a problem they'll eventually fix it.
    Hope that helps.

  • SAP PI 7.3 Single stack- Set tracing and logging

    Hi experts
    We  have configured a SOAP to SOAP sync scenario in SAP PI 7.3  single stack(Java Only).
    I have sent some test messages from WSNavigator to PI .
    But when i checked  messages in adapter engine, it is showing*"Unable to retrieve payload or you don't have sufficient authorization to view the content" I am able to monitor payloads of Async messages.
    How can we set Logging and trace levels in Single stack PI? I couldn't find any options in RWB os NWA.
    Thanks,
    Dhanish

    Hello Dhanish,
    As it was stated by Kenneth in his post, if you would like to see payload of a synchronous message in Message Display Tool (e.g. from Runtime WorkBench), you should set value of property messaging.SyncMessageRemover.removeBody of J2EE service XPI Service: Messaging System to 'false'. Please note that this affects only synchronous messages in final states (DLVD and FAIL).
    Regarding the second part of your question - logging. In PI 7.3, you can persist the message in Adapter Framework in two ways - stage it or log it. Staging allows you to edit/restart the message later from the stage where the message was persisted and is relevant for asynchronous messages; logging allows you to only display the logged message and is relevant for both synchronous and asynchronous messages. Please also note that staging affects performance of message processing more greatly than logging, extensive staging (e.g. staging on several processing stages) can even be a reason of performance degradation for processed messages, so if you only need to display details of the message on different processing steps in Adapter Framework, logging should be sufficient. Both staging and logging can be configured using properties xiadapter.stage.conf (for staging) and xiadapter.logger.conf (for logging) of J2EE service XPI Adapter: XI.

    Vadim

  • Final Cut Express Log & Transfer Error No Data

    Hello all, after hours pouring through the threads with similar questions, I have had no luck. I have been using FCE for nearly two years, and have never seen this error message "No Data"
    Last night, I was in the middle of transferring clips from my Sony hdr xr520v using my MacBook Pro capturing on my external HD with over 200GB available. The transfer was going smoothly, but VERY slow - slower than I remember it ever taking. I thought I would be a bright one and switch from my Firewire port to my USB (I had been capturing via USB for about 6 months when my logic board fried and external drive was not visible via Firewire only USB) In any event, I'm boring you with the details so you can replicate the scenario. The transfer was working with Firewire but I switched back to USB illogical I know since Firewire is faster than USB, but I was going with prior 6months experience. When I connected the HD with the USB, all of a sudden I got the No Data error message. I promptly switched back to Firewire, but I am still getting the message! What have I done?
    I checked my settings - Log & Transfer is set to AVHD Plug in and Plain Stereo. Both audio and video are checked, FCE is set to HDV- AIC 1080i50.
    I can not log & transfer ANY clips into FCE (not even the ones already imported last night) I can, however import all into iMovie (which I know doesn't care about all the stuff FCE cares about but helped me eliminate the possibility of corrupt clips).
    ANY help would be MUCH appreciated

    I thought you had to use USB 2.0 to log and transfer AVCHD . . . . definitely not Firewire?
    I suggest you trash the preferences as detailed in the link below and start again with the correct Easy Setup and using USB 2.0.

  • Log and transfer not working with Sony NX5??

    Hello to all knowledgeable Final Cut Pro users!
    When I first got my Sony NX5 I would shoot and plug the SD card into my mac book pro, select log and transfer in Final Cut (6.0.6), and there the footage would be! And it would transfer and all was wonderful. On my most recent job I was alarmed to find no footage showing up in Final Cut and no apparent way to get it off the card through FCP. Ever since this stressful event I haven't been able to get the footage off my SD cards through FCP and I really need to start editing this footage by tomorrow!  Sometimes it says error with the file structure and other times it says nothing and just won't open any files.
    Does anyone have any idea what's going on? Why it would be working and then suddenly stop working? Any ideas how to fix it? I've seen a few people talking about having to download other programs but they seem to be hit and miss too.
    Any advice will be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Maia

    Hi Shane,
    I'm having this same issue but I have 7.0.3. FCP keeps crashing when I try to open the PRIVATE folder into the L&T. I posted my case in another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3621089?tstart=0
    Do you know why? Could you help me?
    Thanks a lot,

  • Setting Markers in Log & Transfer window

    Hi All
    Anyone know a trick/plug-in that will enable me to set markers while I am setting my In's and Out's in the Log & Transfer Window before I 'Add Clip to Queue'? I would like to set markers indicating the interesting moments in the footage.
    cheers

    Only notes, no markers in log and transfer.

  • Trouble with FCP7, .mts, and Log and Transfer

    I'm trying to upload footage from a Canon Vixia S200, and Log and Transfer won't work. For reference, the footage is stored on the SD cards in the camera rather than internal memory. When I tried Log and Transfer for an older Vixia that used internal memory, Log and Transfer worked. Is there some way around this?

    FCP 7 doesn't work with 1080p60. That format came out after it's last update.  You need to use ClipWrap2 to convert the footage to ProRes 422...or use another editing app that will work with this footage.

    New to the Apple and I want to set up a user account that will not delete the guest users files and allow and preserve their personal settings after log out. Is this possible?

    The built-in guest user account will not do this. Simply create a new standard account and call it "Guest" or "Guest Users" or whatever you like.
    Go to System Preferences > Users& Groups, click "+" to make a new account.

    iOS 7 does not support multiple user accounts like you want.
    If all the apps are different, you could set her up with her own page of apps, then just show her how to get to her apps page, or just buy her an iPad for herself.
