    AHA! It’s formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32). Is it possible to reformat it as Mac OS Extended without losing all of the data on it, or do I have to start at ground zero?

    When I go to Create New Event, there is a dropdown box to select the drive. When I open that, it shows the two internal drives but not my USB external drive. And here’s where I crash into the edge of my technical knowledge – I don’t know what HFS+ formatting is, or how to check it.

    BTW – I really appreciate this help!

    The problem is that when I go to create a new event, FCPX does not show my external drive as an option. How do I get it to see the external drive? (Again, it sees it as a source of imported files, but doesn’t give me it as an option for creating a new event).

    October 24, 2010 at 5:54 pm in reply to: How to edit AVCHD .MP4 from Sanyo Xacti HD1000

    I’m new at HD editing (lots of miniDV experience) and I’m having problems. Shooting on a Sanyo Xacti HD2000 onto its SD chip. Camera setting: FullHR: 1920×1080 60 FPS HR

    I’m importing the video into FCP 6.0.6 directly from the chip. It shows up as an MP4 file. When I run it in FCP, it stutters and sometimes freezes. The guy at the Apple store told me to load Perian. I did, but that doesn’t appear to have helped. It has been suggested that I transcode my files. What do I transcode them into, and how do I do that? I could also reload them from the chip with the proper settings if that is faster (and that’s what I’d do with future video). What should my settings in FCP be?

    Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
