  • Final Cut Pro Log and Transfer AVCHD

    Posted by Mónica Calderón on June 14, 2012 at 4:03 pm

    Hello,

    I’m having trouble logging and transferring hour long clips of AVCHD footage (shot with Panasonic AG-HMC40P). I’m not scrubbing thru the clips. I just drag the whole entire clip and leave alone. Couple of minutes pass by and it stops. I used different computers and the same thing happens. Please help!

    Are you using the log&Transfer option, or just importing the clips?

    Hello Rafael,

    I’m using the Log and Transfer option. I open the open the card and select the clips and I add them to the que.. The arrow starts to circle but it stops and an exclamation point takes it’s place. Then nothing happens. I try to restart the transfer on the clip. Nothing happens. I usually delete the que and start all over. Same thing happens. So I tried just one clip then two but the long ones don’t transfer.

    Google the PANASONIC AVCCAM Importer.
    Is a QT Component that should let you cut the .MTS files in FC without transcoding.

    Hello Dave,

    I log and transfer AVCHD to ProRes 422. Can Premiere handle this code?

    I’ve often experienced issues with long AVCHD clips.
    A solution could be to use clip wrapper to rewrap the AVCHD to h264, and then transcode it to prores.

    Yours Sincerely

    That’s an extra step – ClipWrap will transcode to ProRes without rewrapping first. ClipWrap also joins selected clips.

    Oh yes I forgot that clip wrapper got that feature. Thanks for the reminder.
    I normally use clip wrapper with avid 5.5.3 and AVCHD

    Get the QT Component I’ve told you and you won’t need to waist time rewrapping nothing.
    FC does everything.
