Help with P2 log and Transfer

[Cal Gordon]

We shot on 720p24 (true 24). We shot a variety of footage…24 fps, 60 fps, sound, no sound. Some were spanned, some were not. The clips that wouldn’t transfer were a combination of the above…which was why I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. The only thing they had in common though was the length of the names I had given them. Those that transferred fine had fewer than 26 characters.

I arrived at this solution indirectly while I was reading around Creative Cow. Someone just mentioned in passing not to name your clips too long, but didn’t give a reason why. I didn’t think much of it but when I truncated the names, presto! they transferred right away.

I’ve tested this with clips that weren’t problematic and true enough, when I name them with more 26 characters, that orange (!) comes up.
