    XD CAM IMPORT ERROR TO FCP

    Posted by Annu Lilja on May 25, 2008 at 8:02 am

    Hi,

    I have a lot of XD CAM material that I have imported to final cut using XD CAM TRANSFER.
    Some clips won’t transfer, though. These are clips starting with SMI, or subclips of these clips.

    One error message I get is:

    NSFC Data writeTo File:options:error:
    nil file argument

    Other times the program suggests that my drive is too full, which is not the case.

    PLEASE HELP!

    Thank you.

    Annu

    I believe you have clips that either were over 4 gigs or have crossed to another card.
    In the case of a clip being over 4 gigs you will see the SMI file and perhaps 2 files that end with -1 then -2, highlight the clip and down in the information box, i believe under the subclip you will see a check box for these clips, make sure they bother are checked. If you have clips that have crossed to a second card you will need to add an end mark to the first half as if you were making a subclip.

    Good Luck

    What version of XDCAM Transfer were you using?

    This trouble might have been fixed in the latest version 2.7, which you could get from here:
