  • Issue using LOG and TRANSFER to transcode files from an external HD in FCP 7.0.3

    Posted by Jen Stamps on July 27, 2012 at 5:43 pm

    I am having an issue using LOG & TRANSFER to transcode files (H.264 to ProRes 422(HQ)) from an
    external HD in FCP 7.0.3

    When I attempt to L&T from the folder with the MOV & corresponding
    THM files, FCP I get the following error:

    “Card 01″ contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory
    structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches
    supported media.”

    All the files in the folder (& subsequent card folders) are grayed out
    and I cannot select them in L&T at all, but they are fine/accessible
    when viewed in a Finder window.

    The strangest thing about this is that yesterday I was able to
    transcode successfully through L&T from the same folder/files/external
    drive without a problem on a different computer. Both computers are
    running the same version of FCP & Mac OS.

    (Also I do not know what type of DSLR camera shot the footage and I don’t
    have access to the original cards. The files were provided to me on
    an external drive).

    Any suggestions on what to try next?

    Thanks in advance for your help,
    J.

    Is this a plugin thing? You might need to install a Canon plugin for L&T, depending on your source.

    It is a plugin thing. You need to install the EOS Log and Transfer plugin in order for this to work.
