[FCP 7] How Transf and Log for .MTS (AVCHD) from Panasonic 151

[Tom Wolsky]

You cannot use log and transfer without the whole folder structure. If you only have the ,mts files you ned ClipWrap to transcode the media to one of the ProRes codecs.

All the best,

Ok Tom,
but what have I to conserve (Which folders and Files from SDHC Card) to make Transfer and Log correctly?

[Tom Wolsky]

All of them. You back up the entire SD card.

All the best,

Uhm, Ted, ok but ther’re problems, I think…
How can I organize these (PRIVATE) folders in my HD.. are all with the same names…
and, when I shoot for many days, with the same SDHC card, I ‘ll find many .mts fils from many different, projects… how can these files organize if I can’t rename or touch PRIVATE Folder from SSDHC card?

[Tom Wolsky]

You make a folder called Reel 1. You copy everything from the card into it. You copy the folder onto a another drive for protection. You erase the card in the camera. You shoot some more. You make another folder called Reel 2. You copy the contents of the card into that folder. You copy the folder onto the backup drive. You erase the card in the camera. You shoot some more. You make another folder called Reel 3. And so it goes.

This is really basic stuff, described in many resources.

All the best,

Tom

Hello Ted,
ok, I said so cause sometimes I shoot for more works and I’d like have not a mix in every single Reel.

But, never mind …

Important for me, now I’ve bought Clipwrap, is ti setting that:
I’d like to let as like as original my video (saved in .mts) to import in FCP but I can’t understand if I must convert in Prores ore Prores HQ, Can u help me?

THX!
