Log&Transfer randomly omits portions of clips
This could end up a disaster… I did a standard Log&Transfer for my 7D footage. Import 720/50p footage to ProRes LT.
Upon random inspection of clips, I noticed portions of some clips are missing! For example, clip duration (according to Quicktime, Canon 7D itself and even the Browser section of Log&Transfer window) is, say, 30s. Upon importing, the clip is only, say, 8s. It’s completely random and does not occur on all clips.
Has anyone seen this? Sticking to tried and proven MPEG Streamclip for time being. Too bad I had all the clips properly logged. F–l it. Sorry 🙂

Did you mark in and out? are you sure?

Unfortunately, I am sure and I didn’t mark in or out on those clips.

Not in log and transfer, but afterwards. if you clear in and clear out in the browser, I’d be curious to see what you find.

I appreciate your help, but I’m not such a noob 🙂 No, the clips are truncated even when played in QT from Finder.
Trashing prefs and re-transfering didn’t help. Time for a complete reinstall, perhaps. Or using MPEG Streamclip, it’s faster anyway.

And you have kept the original data from the camera?
Is the ‘reomve redundant frames’ option checked in the prefs? If so try unchecking it.
Maybe try reinstalling the plugin.

Yes, luckily I did copy the original files to hdd prior to transcoding. Thanks for the “redundant frames” advice, I didn’t know that. Will try that tomorrow and get back with results.

I have found that when using the Log and Transfer EOS plugin you have to leave your computer completely alone as it carries out it’s processing… otherwise it can randomly jump to the next clip without finishing.
I have seen one or two other people mention this on the forum too.

Yeah, that may be right, there were several instances with red exclamation mark. They went fine on Retry, but they weren’t the truncated ones anyway.
