“No Image” when trying to import clips using XD cam transfer

[Michael Palmer]

Craig ,
My bad on the Intel needs. Don’t know what I was thinking. I guess I tried loading the Clip Browser on my G4 Power Book that didn’t work, and was thinking about the XD Cam Transfer program. I was wrong for this statement.

We just got FCP 6.0 yesterday, installed it and no images. Did the 6.2 thing and everything works fine. I’ve shot 4 jobs up to this point and we’ve been holding our breath till today.

Life is good.

I also do not have an Intel Mac. When I looked for “Sony Transfer Tool” I only got links to the XDCAM Transfer Software, which doesn’t work on non Intel Macs. Do you know of any links to download the Sony Transfer Tool or is there a more precise name of the software? Thanks.

XDCAM Transfer tool DOES WORK ON NON INTEL MACS. I have it running on G5 Mac.

Only Clip Browser doesn’t run on PPC Macs

Hi Don (or anyone who can help)

I have encountered a unique problem that I have never seen before. Half of my clips are fine, the other half display the hated message of “no image available,” Just as Sarah encountered. I have been using the EX for at least a month and haven’t had any problems.

I have Quicktime 7.5 (149.5)
Final Cut Pro 6.0.4 with all the codecs
Mac OSX 10.5.4

The clips are long: it was a conference where I continuously recorded and downloaded on the day.

Any thoughts?

I’ve had the same thing. I copied the BPAVs to my computer and when I try to view them in XDCAM Transfer, I can’t see them all. I get the ‘No Image Available’ message in a gray window where the video should be.
However I can view the files if I play them in VLC media player.

Has anyone found a solution to this?

Put the BPAV folder inside another folder and “Add’ this one in the Transfer tool.

Thanks for the help.

I have the BPAVs in another folder. Some of the files will show up in XDCAM Transfer, some of them appear blank. I can see all the info related to teh clip, its duration, size, etc but cant play it.

I have shot 4 films using the EX1 and always used the same method to bring the files into FCP. This is the first time I’ve had an error, and have no idea how this is happening since nothing has been changed since the last time it worked.

If anyone has any more help, I would be very appreciative.

You haven’t said that before.
that sounds to files corruption (too fast stop/rec?).
The only way to know if the files are valid or not is to use the Clip Browser as I told you before.
If the Clip Browser do not accept the files, but they are playable with VLC, your only option to recover the files, I think, is treasured.

Thanks for your reply Rafael,

What do you mean by “your only option to recover the files, I think, is treasured”?

Is there a way to recover the files?
