7D footage

[Aaron Moore]

David,
Ah,haa. That might be it. I am not on Snow Leopard. Im on 10.5.8. I didn’t know it needed 10.6. Thanks for that. I have been using MPEG Streamclip. Works great I was just hoping that the Canon plugin would be faster. Thanks for all the help everyone!

David,
I think I am set…everything is the same: 1920×1080 and 23.98!

Thanks so much for your help. I don’t know why I even bother researching anything…I should always go straight to this forum.

It’s only 30 seconds, how hard can it be?

You mentioned you had a hard drive full of Canon 7D footage: the Canon plug-in for FCP expects a CF Card from the camera. The “invalid directory structure error” often means that the files are arranged differently from the way they would be on a CF Card. To read a folder on a hard drive as a 7D Volume, start with a parent folder to act as your volume, let’s call it “MyFootage”. Inside MyFootage, make a new folder called “DCIM” and then inside of DCIM make a folder called “100EOS7D”. Place all of your Canon files in the 100EOS7D folder, then go into FCP Log and Transfer and mount the “MyFootage” folder using the Ad Volume button or CMD+I. It should read in just like a CF Card.
