Using log and transfer,  how do I change the source reel name?

I am importing/transfering native camera footage from folders on a disk that have the same card numbers, FCP is assigning the card number as the source reel.  Is it a problem if there are 2 source reels named the same?  ie card 1?
If so how do I change the name of the reel for  footage already transferred and how do I assign a new reel name before transfer?
Thanks!

In the FCP Browser, switch to list view, then scroll the browser to see the Reel Column. You can enter the reel number there by clicking where the reel number would be and entering it. After you have done one, copy that reel text, and then  select multiple clips and paste the reel number into them simultaneously.

  • Hello, bought a used Mac and I'd like to change the home file name from the previous owner having someone elses name on the home icon is driving me nuts thanks!

    Hello - new to mac -  bought a used Mac OS X 10.6.8 - I'm set up as admin yet can't seem to remove or edit the home file (john's computer with the home icon).  Anyone know how to do this?

    Before following these steps, you may wish to back up your important data.
    For Mac OS X v10.5 or later
    Enable the root user.
    Log in as root.
    Navigate to the /Users folder.
    Select the Home folder with the short name you want to change, and rename it just like you would rename any folder. Keep in mind that the shortname must be all lowercase, with no spaces, and only contain letters.
    Use the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier) in System Preferences to create a new user with the Account name or Short Name that you used in the previous step.
    Click OK when "A folder in the Users folder already has the name 'account name'. Would you like to use that folder as the Home folder for this user account?" appears. Note: This will correct the ownership of all files in the Home folder, and avoid permissions issues with the contents.
    Choose Log Out from the Apple menu.
    Log in as the newly created user. You should be able to access all of your original files (on the desktop, in Documents, and in the other folders of this Home).
    After verifying that your data is as expected, you can delete the original user account via the Users & Groups pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6.8 or earlier).
    Disable the root user

  • Glitches Convertng AVCHD using Log and Transfer

    Hi, I'm converting a large batch of AVCHD to ProRes 422 using log and transfer for a project. I've converted almost all the footage, but have had to break down some longer clips because FCP7 won't convert the whole clip, it starts to act wonky. There is one large clip that I'm trying to convert a section of, that just won't convert and keeps giving me the annoying red exclamation point no matter what I do. I've tried changing the scratch disk, using the original name of the clip, unchecking "abort capture on dropped frames," changing the in and out on points--all the suggestions that I've found on discussion boards--nothing has worked. I've considered buying some external software, but am afraid the clip itself might be corrupted, though I've converted other sections of it with no problem. Any suggestions?

    Hi Michael, Thanks for the quick response. I copied the clip, the whole card  to a different internal drive and FCP crashed  when I tried to transfer a section the troublesome clip. Here's part of the report I got after the crash:
    Application Specific Information:
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSMallocException', reason: '*** -[NSConcreteMutableData appendBytes:length:]: unable to allocate memory for length (75356)'
    *** Call stack at first throw:
    The camera is the Sony NEX-FS700. As I said before, I'm baffled. I've transferred two other sections from this same clip and also from all the other clips from this card with no problem. It was a couple of months ago, but I've not changed any settings or preferences.

  • Can't Import Sony AVCHD Using Log and Transfer

    HI
    I have been importing AVCHD footage from all kinds of cameras, mainly Panasonics for over 4 years now using Final Cut Pro 7.  I just got a new Sony NEX-EA50 but when I try to import the footage using Log and Transfer, it does not show up.  When I try to drop the card folder into the window I get the ""PRIVATE" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media." message.
      The only way I can import the footage is using Toast, but that is a pain in the *** because it is a hassle to rename and scan the clips before I import. 
    Does anybody know whats going on?  Did Sony purposely change their file directory system so it couldn't be read by FCP? 
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
        What framerate did you shoot ?
    Log and Transfer will not recognise non standard frame rates such as 50 fps or 60fps. Toast, Clipwrap etc is an option but there is another. If you have the Panasonic AVCCAM importer Quicktime plug in, it will allow you to convert to Pro Res through Mpeg Streamclip or Compressor.
    DM
    Hang on, are you pointing log and transfer at the ROOT folder and not the folders inside.

  • Cant import using Log and Transfer to FCE 4.0.1 from Panasonic DMC-TZ10

    Does anyone know if/how I can import into FCE 4.0.1 using Log and Transfer? I use Log and Transfer with my Sony HDR XR200VE Video Camera but when I try this with the Panasonic DMC-TZ10 I can play the clips in the Log and Transfer Clip viewer however they don't import after I add them to the queue. It just gives me an ! icon and gives up.
    I guess I need to know if there is a combination of camera settings and Codecs I can choose that will allow me to successfully import into FCE 4.0.1 using Log and Transfer.
    The settings I can choose on the DMC-TZ10 camera are the Rec Mode (Either AVCHD Lite (GPS Rec), AVCHD Lite, or Motion JPEG) and the Rec Quality SH, H or L).
    iPhoto 09 and iMovie 09 will automatically import video from this camera if I choose Motion JPEG and H on the DMC-TZ10

    Log and transfer only supports AVCHD. It does not support AVCHD Lite, nor will it work with Motion JPEG media. You could use third party software to convert it, or iMovie and then export a QuickTime movie from there in the correct codec and format.

  • Is there a way to import clips from AVCHD folders I have copied from my camcorder to my hard disk? With FCE I could import these clips using log and transfer.

    In FCP-X is there a way to import AVCHD clips from an AVCHD file folder I have copied from my Canon hard disk camcorder to my iMac hard disk?  With FCE I used log and transfer with no problem; but, FCP-X doesn't import them. It will import AIC files that have been created in FCE from the original AVCHD files.  If FCP-X will not import these files directly from the copied AVCHD folder, is there a workaround using other software to convert the files? For example, Compressor? (Canon does not provide any AVCHD conversion software for OSX).

    Hi jphil and Tom
    I have exactly the same problem but the answer you (Tom) provided did not help in my case. Trying to "Import ->From Camera" and pointing to the AVCHD folder yields the error message: "(Folder) contains unsupported files or has invalid directory structure."
    Folder structure is
    AVCHD
         BDMV
              CLIPINF
                   .CPI files
              Index.bdm
              Movieobj.bdm
              PLAYLIST
                   .MPL file
              STREAM
                   .MTS files
    AVF_INFO
         3 files (.bnp, .inp, .int)
    DCIM
         101MSDCF
              empty
         MODELCFG.IND (file)
    My question is: Is that not a "camera archive" of the type you talked about in the thread? Is it on principle not possible to import the files in that format/directory structure? If not, since the shots were not taken by myself, what should I ask the guy who shot the movies to give me to be able to work with them in FC?
    I work with a brand new Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 (still very clumsy with it) on an iMac 11,3 with MacOS 10.6.8.
    I downloaded the latest version of codec updates from the Apple support site but no difference.
    Thank you in advance

  • Sync Audio using Log and Transfer

    Shot footage using Sony Ex-1, recorded audio separately on DAT. There is a Timecode jammed, as well as a clapper. Using Final Cut 6.06.
    Can I sync the audio and video before putting them in the bin? Is there a way to sync the audio and video using "Log and Transfer"?
    I'm trying to find a way to sync them so that it saves the video and audio as a separate movie file.

    You can't sync the files during log and transfer. You have to capture the audio and video seperately, then sync them using a process such as this: http://www.ericbrodeur.com/blog/2008/12/03/syncing-dailies-in-final-cut-pro/

    I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

    Please give us more specific information -
    What make/model camcorder are you using?
    Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video?  Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
    Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder?  Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
    Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
    Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

    Yes you can use one iCloud account between multiple devices.

    Open Accounts preferences. Create a new user account with the name and username of your choosing as well as your own password. Be sure to give the new account Admin status. Log out of the old account and log into your new account. Now, delete the old account.

  • How do I change the Home file name back to Home?

    Help! - How do I change the Home file name back to Home? My supplier changed it to Demo. I've tried pressing return, control click and Get Info but none gives access to change the name. Any ideas?

    The Home folder isn't named "Home." It is named for the user account it represents.
    Who is your "supplier?" Sounds like they're not terribly bright.
    Can you provide some details on why they "changed" it. Is this a brand new Mac? Were you having information transferred from another computer?
    It sounds like you just need to create a new account and get rid of "Demo."
    While logged into the "Demo" account, go to System Preferences in the Apple Menu.
    Click on Users & Groups
    If the padlock is locked, click on it and enter your password.
    Click the + button at the bottom of the list of users. This will create a new account. Fill in the information you'd like to use for your account. The account name is what will be used for the "Home" folder.
    Once created, select it from the list and check the box to "Allow user to administer this computer."
    You can then log out of "Demo" and log in as your new user. If there is nothing in the Demo account that you want, you can delete it from the Users & Groups System Pref.

    Thanks in advance.You have to use Reports Trigger named BEFORE PARAMETER FORM and write the following sql
    select sysdate into :Parameter_name from dual;
    give your format mask at Parameter_name.
    Hope this will help you
