  • “Incomplete” clips won’t import

    Posted by Dale Larsen on February 20, 2008 at 6:20 pm

    I have just started using a EX-1 & the XDCAM transfer software.
    I can’t import clips that are “incomplete” because they are on different cards (or folders since I had to dump several cards to a folder during a long shoot)

    XDCAM does not want to import them. I can play them in XDCAM transfer but not import.

    I also have some files with the extension SMI instead of mp4.

    no idea how or where these different extensions come from.
    HELP!
    need advise please

    Hi, Dale,

    I have the same problem. Have you got a solution since your post?

    Solved it.

    Choose both folders in Transfer tool, select both clips and use the buttons in the logging pane, but I had to scroll down to the bottom to see them.

    In the transfer tool select the incomplete clip and then expand the subclips menu next to the source monitor, put a check by both clips or the master clip and then you should be able to import them. Took me two shoots to realize I was missing the footage. How is that for probably missed the money shot!!!!! Kid of feel like Sony should have some kind of automated reconnect, but who knows.
