    Posted by Darius Cornean on June 29, 2010 at 2:12 pm

    Hello
    A few days ago i shot an event with two camera SONY Z7U using two SONY HDD with firewire.
    The problems appears when i want to import using FCP.
    The first HDD was OK, i use LOG AND TRANSFER from Final Cut Pro and all that i have rec was transfer in a new project.
    The other one HDD i could export only 18min. from two hours and 4minutes.
    After 18 min. the transfer from the second HDD its stop.
    On the HDD it looks that i REC two hours and 4minutes but after 18min the transfer its stop.
    Please help with some solution because I try everything that I could
    Thank you very much

    If your footage is already on a HDD why would you need to go through Log&Transfer? Why not simply drag the file strait into the media bin? What am I missing?

    I use a trial of Clipwrap and its work but the quality is not good. What format do you think its the best from option i have with Clipwrap?
    Do you now from where I can take full version of Clipwrap?
    Thank you very much

    Interesting. All clipwrap does is add a QuickTime “wrapper” around your m2t file. It shouldn’t effect the quality at all.

    ClipWrap will either wrap natively or convert to ProRes or other codecs. I highly recommend converting to ProRes. As for quality…you cannot judge what your footage looks like on a computer monitor. It will never look as good as it REALLY is.
