  • Trying to aid a teacher with transfer issues in FCP 6.0.6

    Posted by Saya Hillman on December 20, 2011 at 6:14 pm

    A high school teacher I work with is having trouble transferring footage from his Panasonic HDC-HS300 SD/HDD Hybrid to his iMAC, wondering if anyone can shed some light?

    He usually just drags files from the camera to his computer, but that no longer works (see below). I suggested trying to capture using FCP (he has 6.0.6), that won’t work either (see below).

    Initial Issue —
    Teacher: I am unable to transfer video to the Mac or my PC it just says “please wait” on the lcd screen until it says “remove usb cord”. ”

    I suggested trying a different cord.

    Second Issue —
    Teacher: “You were right about the cord for the camera. A gray cord seems to be
    working better than the black one. It now recognizes it and the clips
    pop up in final cut pro. However I can’t get them to transfer. I
    followed all of your steps in the word document and everything works
    up until step ii. e. As I pasted below.
    e. File > log and transfer – this transfers the footage from camera to
    computer and saves it as a Quicktime file
    i. If you connected everything correctly, all the video files on the
    camera should pop up
    ii. You can watch them by selecting the one you want to watch on the
    left side, and then using the controller buttons on the right side
    iii. When you find the one you want to transfer, select it on left
    side, name it what you want on right side and then hit “Add clip to
    queue”

    When I click on the clips and try to play them, they won’t play. When
    I add the clips to the queue to import, the status reads idle and then
    “error, no data”. ”

    Thank you!
