If you are like me and have not used the Log & Transfer window much, be sure to set the import preferences to the format you really want. On first use it defaults to 444.

I have installed the plugin but can’t get it to work

I just get

“103EOS7D” contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.

Yet this has all the 7D movs in ?

Any ideas what I am doing wrong ?

Ok found out what was wrong.

1. You must have the .THM files to go with the video, otherwise the plugin won’t recognise the clip.
2. You can’t trick it by just creating a .THM from a text editor, this will cause FCP to crash
3. If you have lost the .THM files (like I have) you can just copy a working one to the same name as the movie file, but with a .THM extension. The picture and exif info will be wrong but if will show up in the log and transfer window.

Anyone know how to recreate the .THM files properly ?

Is this any faster or better quality than converting to ProRess with MPEGstreamclip?

I don’t think it us any faster it better quality than mpeg streamclip, but once integrated into the log and transfer window, you can now link your media clips to the source material in fcp.

I have put together a short workflow tutorial that may be of interest. I dud this as I wanted a similar workflow to tape and be able to backup and catalog my sd captured clips.

I find it a heck of a lot faster than before. Now, it’s just launch log and transfer and pop in your CF card. The card files show up in the FCP log and transfer window and allow you to select the clips you do or don’t want to transcode. Mark the files and the batch starts. The new clips show up transcoded right in your designated FCP logging bin.

This has improved my workflow a LOT.
