Log and Transfer issues, need guidance
I moved some HD footage from my FS-100 onto my external, I then got the log and transfer window up in FCP and viewed my clips.
I chose clip A and marked an in and out and hit ‘add to queue’, I then put another in and out and hit ‘add to queue’.
The first clip transferred into my project bin no problem, but the second one failed. I right clicked over the clip and hit ‘retry’, but it still wouldn’t transfer.
I then set new in out points and tried again, but to no avail, I then shut the log and transfer window came out of FCP, went in again and tried the whole process again with new i/o points, but it still didn’t work.
I then tried to just transfer the whole clip over, but it still wouldn’t work.
I’m just wondering what the problem is and how to avoid in the future?
Many thanks

Is this one clip that you are working with all Clip A, while it is transferring one set a new in and out and then add that same clip to the queue? Don’t know if that would cause a problem but just trying to see what you are doing.
Will other clips transfer? Have you tried clips from another content folder?

When we shoot with our FS-100 and HVX200 the resulting clips are Quicktime. So there is no need for the Log and Transfer function of FCP.
We take the clips from the FS-100 folder and dump them into the appropriate project’s Capture Scratch folder on the external media drive. From FCP, simply import instantaneously into whatever Bin you want, however you want to arrange them.
This also means your clip is your clip, there is no trimming them down during import. Unless you’re shooting terabytes of data, hard drive space is cheap.

Yes I only needed the begining and end of clip A so I marked i/o points at the begining and added to queue and then did the same for the end, just like the tutorial said I could.
But then only the first i/o from clip A transferred over to my bin and the second one refused.
I was transferring files over fine before this and had logged and transferred several clips.
I’ve since deleted the content file from my hard drive including the last clip.txt doc and re-imported from the FS-100 then tried to re log and transfer, still no joy. The clip has a half circle by it, indicating I’ve part transferred it and it also has the word Spanned in brackets next to it, what does that mean?
It’s no big deal it was just a test anyway, but I’d quite like to know what I did wrong, I’ve watched the Shane Ross tutorial all the way through a few times and can’t find the answer.
Many thanks
