  • SD card file issues in FCP

    Posted by Katie Cooper on December 6, 2010 at 9:09 pm

    Hi There,
    I found some similar issues on this forum, but not quite the same as my current nightmare 🙂

    It appears that one of my SD cards for my panasonic AG-HMC 150P camera is having issues. Video I shoot on this card is not recognized by FCP when I try to log and transfer.
    I converted the MTS file in Aiseeoft Video Convertor and used this to edit, but no matter what frame size I choose, FCP keeps stalling while editing (and my sequence setting frame size matches the clip size).
    I lived with the horrible stalling and exported FCP movie and even several versions of QT conversion movies, but the quality always comes out pixelated, not near the quality of the original clip.

    I just tried now moving the MTS file to my properly working card and using this to log and transfer in FCP. This seemed to work, but the clips only comes out 9 seconds long when the original clip is much longer.

    I can’t think of anything else to try. The guy training me at work is stumped too.

    Thanks,
    Katie

    FYI

    The SD card that had issues with log and transfer was class 4 and the one that works fine is class 10

    I discovered this after doing a few tests. Just wish I knew before I shot anything on the class 4 card!!

    Try making a new folder on your desktop, then drag all of the media, in it’s entirety to that new folder off of the SD card. Don’t log and transfer right from the card. You must keep the folder and file structure the same.

    Gotta use the proper tapeless workflow:

    Hi Folks,
    I did the proper tapeless workflow step by step and the clips from the Class 4 card will still not log and transfer in FCP.
    Do I need a minimum of a class 10 card for this to work properly?

    Thanks,
    Katie
