Problems Transfering AVCHD files into Final Cut Pro – PLEASE HELP!
Please help – I’m having a terrible time using Log and Transfer to bring AVCHD files from my Canon HG21 into Final Cut Pro 6. It takes an eternity to even detect and load the video files and when I try to add them to the transfer queue I get error messages that say “unknown” and “no data” (the spinning icon in the transfer window becomes a red exclamation point). When I try to transfer files from the hard drive they’re grayed out and I get a message stating something about an incorrect directory pathway.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I’m up against a deadline and I can’t even get my files in to start editing!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This has been problematic for a lot of folks.
I just had some AVCHD from a Canon camera last week.
I captured it with the analog outputs as dvcpro-hd and edited from
there.That might be your only option.

Chris,
What analog inputs did you use with the mac and fcp6.1?? I got the same problem. Have a HG21 and FCP and having problems bringing in the video.Bob

I’ve got a Canon HF100 and had same problem… FCP doesn’t like ingesting avchd. So I spent $35 on Votaic’s converter, which does a good job spitting out QT .mov files. Now I’ve got a new problem: how to use those mov files in FCP. It’s probably a stupid question, but Import is the only I know to get em in, and the resultant clips are white in the viewer unless it’s playing.
