Log and Transfer Preview
Hi,
A slightly hair-brained question: In FCP 6, in the Log and Transfer window,
I can’t seem to get any selected clip to play in the preview window. I need
to review material before importing so that I don’t import bad takes and
thereby use up valuable drive space. When I hit the “Play” button, the
indicator moves to suggest that the material is playing back, but the window
is black. Any suggestions?

What is it playing back from? The memory cards often don’t play back well.
All the best,
Tom

Tom,
I have P2 media on a FW800 drive that is in raw form. So, clearly, I’m trying to import and covert to .mov, putting this media on a different FW800 scratch disc. What I’m trying at the moment is updating my Apple OS support software. Namely, changing out QT 7.3 (which is reported to be problematic) with 7.4.1. Plus some updates to Tiger and professional suites. I’ll see if that has any effect.
Thanks,

Tom,
Nah, installing updates didn’t affect the situation. Still can’t get picture to show up in the Log and Transfer preview window. What to do?

Tom,
The problem, believe it or not, is in the renaming of the drives that I was storing the P2 media on out in the field. I changed the brand new drives’ names as soon as I got them, not knowing that it would cause any kind of conflict with FCP. But, as soon as I changed the drives’ names back to what they were when they came back to the factory, the preview window worked. How arcane is that???
