Whole clips not tranfering from log and transfer into FCP studio 2

720p 24p clips from P2 get cut short when transfered from log and transfer. I can play the whole clips in the log and transfer window to verify they are there but once they are brought into my project they play about half way through, then the sound drops out and the clip stops short of where it really ended. the clips in the canvas window or on the timeline when played all the way to the end are not the complete original clip? i have tried switching every setting i can think of but to no avail. any ideas out there? thanks a million

no, no in or out points set in log and capture. what's wierd is that clips shot at 24 fps are the ones running short and clips shot at 60 fps come in fine (the slow motion isn't happening but i think i can change that with cinema tools?) anyway, thanks for the suggestion

Device not working with Log and Transfer in FCP

I am trying to get some footage off my camera into final cut pro, but Final Cut Pro does not recognise my device when I try to use Log & Transfer
The camera is question is a Cannon Legria FS20, here is a link
http://www.canon.co.uk/ForHome/Product_Finder/Camcorders/flash_memory/LEGRIAFS20/
I have looked around but can't seem to find any plug-ins to get it to work with Final Cut Pro, does anyone know any way I can get it to work with Log and Transfer
Upon inspecting the hard drive, it saves video files in .MOD format with an .MOI file (which i assume is a metadata file
How can I get it so that my device works with log and transfer?
Thanks

Hi -
I did a little Google searching for information on your camera and it appears that it is a Standard Definition Camera that records in the MPEG-2 format.
Log and Transfer only works with High Definition material.
You will need to convert your video clips into a format that will work with FCP.
I know nothing about working in PAL, but you want to download an free application called MPEG Streamclip from
http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
This application will convert your MPEG-2 files into a format that you can use directly in FCP.
Once you have converted the files to Apple DV-PAL, with the correct frame rate (25fps?) and field dominance you can either simply drag the converted files into FCP or import them using File > Import.
Hope this helps.

SONY XDCAM LOG and TRANSFER CRASHING FCP

I am trying to log and transfer xd cam footage. every time i open the log and transfer window, FCP crashes. What is the cleanest way to get rid of the xdcam plugin.
the error message reads:
The application Final Cut Pro quit unexpectedly after it was relaunched. The problem may have been caused by the SonyXDCAM plug-in.
I have tried to get rid of it and obviously failed because i keep getting that message which tells me it's still there.
Can someone give me a step by step on how to get rid of it?

Shane's Stock Answer #44: FCP acting weird or unusual. Just not like is normally should
If the program was working fine, and now isn't, or just isn't working the way it should, the first things to do are:
1) Trash your FCP preferences. Download the Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/trashing_fcpprefs.html
2) Open the Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
3) Shut down for 10 min. Go for a quick walk around the block and get SOME exercise today. Come back, turn on the computer and see how things are.
4) (optional) Do the Hokey Pokey and turn your self about. Results may vary.

Refresher for log and transfer in FCP 7

Hi,
I need a bit of a refresher to using log and transfer in FCP 7 what setting do I use for XDCAM ? Do I set it to AVCHD?
Please help
Thank you
Jeff

Have you loaded the xdcam plug in?
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2721
Otherwise, I think you have the choice of keeping it as xdcam or converting to prores when you log and transfer. xdcam are smaller file sizes, while prores is generally less taking on the system.

Trouble transferring from Log and Transfer.

Hi,
I have a brand new Panasonic HDC-HS20 camera. I am recording with the HA1920 setting on my camera. While in Log and Transfer I am able to select the clips I want to add to the queue, but after FCE acts like the clips will be loaded; a red stop sign with a exclamation point appears. I have tried changing the conversion from Matrix audio to Plain audio, and that doesn't seem to change anything.
What does anyone think I need to do? Is it possible that this camera is so new new, that FCE does not fully support it yet?
Thanks a lot,
Nick Landt

I assume these settings will match my media because HA1920 is the highest quality setting on my camera. The only thing I could not figure out is what rate i should use.. i picked 29.97 fps. Could it be 25 fps?
And this is a hard drive camera. And all the media are the same format.

Log and transfer causes FCP to crash with long clips

Hi. I am trying to import a few 2 hour+ clips using Log and Transfer from my Sony NX5. Once the destination clip has reached approx 60GB, FCP crashes every time. There is plenty of disk space left.
I have tried trashing preferences and also changing scratch disks. I am turned off time machine. I am really worried that I wont be able to get this footage onto my machine.
Any ideas?
Thanks

In the end Clipwrap saved the day on this project.
This did happen to me again though on yet another project, where the files were around an hour long this time. In the end I got it to work, not sure the solution but tried the following:
- Selected a different easy setup (choose PAL) - this fixed the problem for a colleague of mine, even though it doesn't seem logical
- Used my internal drive as a scratch disk instead of my firewire drive (normally this is not a problem)
I haven't tried this with the really long clips, as Clipwrap saved me.
Many thanks for suggestions.

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.

Not able to Log and Transfer.

Went to change a project this am. Was able to do it. Then started a new project, went to the log and transfer. Got the clip I wanted to import to FCE and in the status column a stop sign came up and said error. I didn't change any setting since last night, but now I cant transfer any video.
I have all the media file on an OWC 500gb HD external.
Is there a setting that I'm not looking at that changed?
Thanks Brian

No way of telling. It may be something that was changed in the camera or some change that was made to the chip. It could also be a file name issue or a project name issue.

Log and Transfer Crash FCP 6.06, from Canon Vixia HF20

I am having a strange problem in logging and transferring from FCP 6.06. I have been logging and transferring from my Canon Vixia HF20 without any problems for monthes. Then I have been granted access to a Sony HXR-NX5U NXCAM from work, I logged and Transferred from the flash memory unit HXR-FMU128, without any problems. But ever since I logged and Transfered from the sony flash unit, in attempting to log an transfer from my Canon Vixia has caused FCP to crash every single time. I then log and transfer again from the Sony Flash unit without any problems, after having dealt with the Canon transfer crashes.
Currently log and transfer from Song Flash unit always works, from Canon Vixia never works in FCO 6.06.....boooOOO!
Anyone else experience a problem like this?

Hi Eugene
Seems like maybe your FCP's preferences have taken a turn for the worse ... at least I haven't heard of this being a widespread issue so I would recommend you start by using a free app like Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager to make a backup copy of your current FCP user preferences, then use the same Preference Manager app to "trash" those existing prefs. Now restart FCP and see if the problem still persists .. hopefully not. If the problem is still there then you can use Preference Manager (again) to restore your previous prefs from the backup copy you made ... and you are back where you started.

Log and Transfer Causes FCP to Freeze!

Quite an annoying problem.
Running FCP 6.0.6
I go to log & transfer new footage. I can select a folder. I can even see the footage and play it back in the preview window, but when I press "Add Selection to Queue" or "Add Clip to Queue" (both do this), I get the spinning beach ball and it just spins and spins (I've let it run for 45 minutes). The application stops responding, and I have to force quit it. And this happens regardless of where the source footage comes from (internal drive/external drive), what the footage is (DVCPRO/XDCAM/RED), or how long the clip is. It is very frustating. Any help?! I've un-installled and re-installed FCP Studio 2 three times now! I've remembered to update my apps every time. One time I tried to log&transfer before updating the applications. FCP added the clip to the queue, but it would just give me the red "!" and wouldn't actually do it. Any help!?

Log and Transfer Crashing FCP

Not sure what is going on. Been using Log and Transfer for 8 months to capture video from P2 Cards in Panasonic HVX200 recorded in 720p60. Haven't had a problem before. Today, went to capture new footage (only about 15 minutes worth) and the first time I briefly saw the dialog window before FCP crashed, but since then, after restarting, closing the open files, creating a new project, making sure software was up to date, etc, it keeps crashing before even showing the window. I just get the 'spinning beachball of death' for about 5 seconds before the crash.
I also tried just transferring the files to the local drive first than running the log and transfer, but that didn't work either.
I don't have FCP tricked out with any plug-ins, with the exception of Flip for Mac, but that has been running fine for all 8 months.
Any ideas?

P2 files don't display in Log and Transfer VIEWER FCP 6.0

Hey,
I'm trying to log a bunch of P2 clips in the P2 viewer and, while I can see a thumbnail of the clip in the left side of the screen, it won't show up in the viewer. If I hit play it appears to be progressing in the viewer, but no picture or audio shows. However it imports fine and the picture and audio is now there, but that doesn't help me actually log.
I'm running 6.0.0 on X.4.10 with QuickTime 7.2.
Ideas?
Martin

+Have you updated to the latest version of FCP?+
No, I'm currently running 6.0 with QT 7.2 on OS 10.4.10. In searching the tech forums I'm finding a lot of people having problems with P2 and FCP 6.0.2 and QT 7.3 (which requires OS 10.4.11) so I've steered clear.
+How have you copied the p2 volumes?+
Yes. The P2 volumes have been copied to hard drives. I'm not anywhere near the P2 cards at this point.
+Where are they located?+
LaCie 500 drives
+Did you write protect to the p2 card before copying?+
You mean on the original P2 cards? I don't know, but the files have already successfully been copied to the current hard drives. I can convert them to QT's using Log and Transfer without any trouble. What I can't do is see them in the Log and Transfer viewer before I import. I'd like to be able to do that so I can break them down into more manageable QT files on transfer.

How to speed up Log and Transfer in FCP 7.0 of Canon 7D footage on my Macbook

Hey there,
I'm using Final Cut Pro 7.0 and the Log and Transfer of my Canon 7D footage is taking forever.
I have both the Canon XF MPEG2 plugin and the Canon EOS Movie plugin.
Any suggestions?
Cheers!

Are you transferring the files directly from the camera, via a USB cable?
Try taking the card out of the camera and using a good quality card reader, or better yet, try copying the camera storage card to a hard disk (preserving the complete card file structure) and then Log and Transfer from that copy on hard disk.
See if that speeds up the L&T ingest.

Sony CX-160 camcorder compatible in Log and Transfer in FCP X?

Looking at Apple FCP X compatibility list and it is not on there. I know this list is not anywhere accurate. Camera is AVCHD .mts file format.
Anyone have this camcorder to confirm this first hand either way?
Thanks in advance. Do not have the FCP X yet. Just seeing what I am getting myself into.
