  • log and transfer challenges with HMC150p footage 1080p

    Hi,
    This is a question regarding my HMC150p camera.
    I am trying to log and transfer into my mac via FCP 7.0.3.(using a card reader and an SD card that is class 10)

    when in log and transfer, i try to select where i would like the footage to go and it gives me this message “”Project X” contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.”

    I never seemed to have this problem when importing 720 60i footage, but with this 1080 24p footage i am getting it.

    So, I imported it to the Hard Drive that it was set to previously on another project. worked fine and played back smoothly. Then I moved some of these imported clips to the hard drive I want to use for this particular project and the clips play very jerky.

    I am using 7200mps OWC external HDs, they have served me well with EX-1 and Canon HDSLR footage, all 1080p media.

    Anyone have suggestions? Thanks – Nic

    for data protection you should always offload your card onto a hard drive and then log and transfer the clips. by doing the above it may also solve your current issue.

    I’d guess the hard drive you moved the footage to is either too full or is a 4200 RPM drive or USB. Either way it’s probably not up to the task. Try another drive. I use these with great success:

    G-Tech USB Mobile.
