  • Log and Transfer MXF files from external Hard Drive

    Posted by Digital Antics on May 19, 2011 at 8:11 am

    I am having a hell of a time ingesting a days worth of P2 footage, shot on the HVX200, that we copied(content folder and last text clip) to two external G Tech drives; while on set. It is giving me the unknown source/directory warning when I try and select a folder with the .XMF files in it while in the Log and Transfer window. I am pretty sure everything is there since we did a straight copy. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? Also when I try and import the .XMF files directly to the project bin they are all out of order and only 29secs of each clip appears. Any clue what I am doing wrong here? Any idea how I can rebuild the clip in FCP? Help, please. I am using FCP 7.

    Are you selecting the highest most folder that contains the content folder and last clip file?
