Capture settings
A friend of mine gave me his Panasonic hard disk camcorder (HDD) that has the footage that I need to edit in FCP. But, I can’t get the capture settings right. FCP can’t detect the camcorder. It has a usb hook-up. Can anyone help me? Thank You in advance.

Use LOG AND TRANSFER for any and all NON-TAPE formats.

Thank You Sir. But I am working with FCS 5 and I don’t see the log and transfer option. Maybe I don’t have that option? Or maybe I can do something else?

Please give full details of what this camcorder is. Log and transfer works for HD formats; it will not work with SD formats.
All the best,

Oho…then you can’t work with this footage most likely. Before it was called LOG AND TRANSFER it was called IMPORT>PANASONIC P2, and ONLY works with Panasonic’s P2 format. Support for other formats like AVCHD didn’t come until FCP 6. I am guessing that camera is AVCHD. You cannot import it with the version you have. You need to either upgrade to FCP 6 (find it somewhere), or FCP 7…or get Toast 10 to convert the footage from the camera.

Thank you both very much. I will try to upgrade my FCS in the near future.

One thing you can always do with these type of cameras is to lay it off to tape and the digitize…
