Trouble with Project Manager

[Josef Brett]

hi Tim,

Yeah, this isn’t the first issue we’ve had with file handling from the camera – It will occasionally not join ‘bridged’ clips.

The error is that certain files will always copy and certain files will always not. It’s about 50/50 in terms of what does and doesn’t. For the files that copy they are ‘complete’ in their respective sequence.

The response I got from the Adobe forums was that the Project Manager shouldn’t really be used with AVCHD projects as it doesn’t copy the complete File/Folder structure that is required for the AVCHD files to function properly.

Grrr!

Interesting…I thought I had done some trimming in the last year or so with Panasonic AVCHD files…but maybe I need to test that again.

Was the response from someone from Adobe, or another user?

I believe it was another user, not an Adobe employee.

I have also trimmed (smaller) AVCHD projects. To be honest, I only ever checked that all the files were there and in the sequence – never watched the full sequence of a trimmed project all the way through. Should probably do that…!

I think it excludes spanned files over 4GB in size. I have missing parts for long continuous wedding video “clips.” The first file is copied but it excludes the remainder of the clip if it is spanned over several files split at 4GB. Using AVCHD .MTS container on Panasonic FZ-200.
