  • does deleting clips in XDCAM TRANSFER delete them permanently?

    Posted by Tamsyn Reynolds on September 29, 2011 at 12:20 pm

    hello

    I recently pulled some mxf clips into XDcam tranfer and then deleted them from xdcam transfer. Would this delete them permanently from my drive? If so, is there any way of getting them back??

    the clips have gone missing

    any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No, if you remove clips or cards from your import queue in XDCAM Transfer, you are not deleting them. Naturally, there are two main ways you’ll be looking at media in XDCAMTransfer – either from the card itself or from the card’s contents as copied to a hard drive or disc image. Either way, removing the clips or cards just removes it from the queue or ejects the disc (or disc image). In that case, remounting will do the job.

    Hi, I´ve accidentaly deleted a few clips from the Sony XDCAM Transfer application. Not from the “source” window but from the one to its right. What I mean is I didn´t “remove” or “eject” the source. I actually deleted a few clips.
    And now when I go to the folder where the mxf used to be they aren´t there anymore.

    The trash bin is empty.

    Anyone could tell me if they are gone forever? Is there any way to recover them?

    Thanks a lot.

    I just did the same thing. Any ideas? My Trash is empty. I cant believe it just deletes them right off the hard drive.
