Unable to Load Clean NEX-FS100U Files to FC

[Ian Cook]

Hi Thomas,

You may want to try ClipWrap, which will add an .mov wrapper to the clip without transcoding. (It can also transcode to ProRes but the re-wrap is much faster.)

FCP will take the files via Log and Transfer and transcode to ProRes during import but only if the files are in the original AVCHD directory structure. It will not recognize loose .mts files.

Hope this helps..

Ian

As long as you have the file structure intact, FCP’s Log & Transfer will do a good job, you can even change metadata there or shorten clips down before transcoding.

There’s a program called Voltaic (free or very inexpensive). The website is Shedworx.com

I am having the same type of problem with importing into Adobe Premiere CS5.5. I can’t seem to find a good work flow that adds timecode and lets me log the footage so I can keep it organized. The CMU tool that sony gives you to use kind of sucks. Does anyone have a good solution?

I shot 60p footage with my FS100. Hooked up the USB cable to the Mac and used FPC7 log and trans.

FCP would only recognize the files that I shot using slow-mo and not my regular 60p files.

BTW – the slow-mo files looked horrible – low rez and interlaced.

Any ideas?

FCP can easily recognize your files with a whole structure by “log and transfer”. but if the AVCHD files isn’t in a whole folder, u can use a MTS converter with prores output.

FYI – FCP can not read AVCHD 60p files. That was my problem and I have since posted a proper workflow for 60p.
