  AVCHD to FCP

  Posted by Randy Johnson on June 20, 2009 at 2:33 pm

  I just got a couple Panasonic AG-HMC150s. After I copy the files to my hard drive I try and bring them into the “log and transfer” tool and a I get an error. I found a tool that I can buy that will convert them but I wonder what im doing wrong.

  Try this:
  Don’t bother copying the files on your hard drive. Just hook up your camera and wait til your computer recognizes it by displaying an icon on your desktop.

  In FCP go file, then log and trans. When the window opens, you should see the video files on your camera. Highlight the ones you want (log) and then transfer by dragging the files to the bottom window (“drag media here”).

  There are millions of ways to do this, but this works for me.

  By the way, I am considering the Panasonic 150 for my next camera.

  Thanks for the reply, I have had bad luck connecting firewire devices to my computer. A couple have resulted in firewire ports being blown on my camera thats one of the reasons I went with the AVCHD format and and cards. Is there a reason why the camera needs to be connected?

  I don’t have a card reader, so I don’t know about the way you try to transfer. If FW ports get blown, I would not risk hooking up your new cam either. I don’t think the cam HAS to be hooked up for file transfer, I was just passing on the way I do it.

  Well hopefully someone else will reply and you can get a better answer. Sorry I could not help.
