  • HELP!!!!! I can’t my canon HF10’s footage onto final cut pro

    I have a HF10 and I can’t seem to get the footage off it onto final cut pro. What am I doing wrong???? I have a client waiting for the stuff and I can’t get to it.

    Just got my HF10 today here is what worked for me.

    1.) Camera must be plugged in, battery power won’t work for transfer.
    2.) Connect via USB.
    3.) Turn Camera to video playback mode.
    4.) Power Camera on with LCD screen open.
    5.) Select Connect to PC/Printer. (This should mount the camera onto your desktop.)
    6.) Under file in FCP, select Log and Transfer.
    7.) Drag clips from list in upper left to the area in the lower left.

    Hope that works for you.

    I believe you can also insert the SD card into a reader and after it shows up on the desktop- FCP will recognize it as well- should behave the same as though the camera were tethered and connected via USB cord.
