FCP: Canon Log & Transfer Plug In – Missing files
Hello folks,
The basic issue I have is that I am logging and transferring footage using the Canon EOS plug in (Version 1.2) for FCP (Version 7.0.3)
I have all of the takes in their original format and have been logging and transferring reel by reel in to Apple Pro Res 422 proxy.
The system does not register 2 takes in the middle of the card.
Has anyone else come across this at all?
Any help will be appreciated!

I’m not familiar with that plugin. Is it possible those clips are spanned and, therefore, joined with another clip.

The full name of the plug in is:
EOS Movie E1 FCP plugin version 1.2
The footage was filmed on a Canon 5D Mark II if that helps.

That’s how you import h264 movs from Canon into FCP. Since you can only put one card in a 5d then I doubt anything is spanned. It does seem odd. But perhaps 2 of the files in question were copied or moved from another directory and therefore invisible to the plugin since they aren’t included in the directory data?

Hi Bret,
I don’t think they have been moved in any way that is different to the rest of our footage.
Another detail that may help is that we had to ‘construct’ the reels ourselves. They weren’t a direct hard copy of the card it came off.
We are using the version 1.2 as this basically allows you to log and transfer from a file structure you create. This structure is made identical to the card your footage was on.
REEL 001 > DCIM > 100EOS5D > .MOV’s & .THM’s
Could it relate to THM files?
We have them all and they are identically logged with the .MOV’sIt just seems very odd that these two clips are in the middle of the batch list.

I had a similar problem transcoding a batch of clips. Turns out most origninal clip extensions were in caps (.MOV) and the ones it skipped were (.mov). Best of luck…

Hi Stephen,
They’re all .MOV’s so original H.264’s
Does anyone else happen to know? I’ve now started on a new scene and another clip in the Log and Transfer Window is missing. This one is a bit more urgent :S
