Final Cut Pro Log and Transfer Problem
When i connect my Nikon S8100 to Final Cut Pro and open the Log and Transfer window, the camera doesnt get recognized. So, I imported the clips into iPhoto, and then dragged them into the Log and Transfer window. But when i did that, the message popped up that said, “contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.” So how can i successfully get the clips into the log and tranfer window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might want to check the Nikkon Site and see if there’s a plug in for FCP that allows you to import clips via log and transfer. The reason why log and transfer work with Canon’s because there is a plug in that exits

To use the clips FCP has to unwrap them from whatever Native codec the Nikon records to and create a codec that’s condusive to editing like Apple Pro-res. It needs to to browse the original folder created the camera. That’s why it asking for a directory structure.

Thanks so much for your input but there’s no plugin so im trying to convert the files to ones that will be recognized in log and transfer through Compressor.
Do you happen to know what files i should convert to in Compressor?Thanks

Try dragging the card contents off the camera and into a folder on your hard drive.
Then, launch L&T and navigate to that folder. Then can you ingest the media?Chris Tompkins
