I just bought a 2TB G-RAID, plugged it in and it immediately did what I needed it to.

Thanks for the help guys!

It’s a new drive and I’ve tried to reformat it. However, I keep getting this response

“Disk Erase Failed – Disk Erase Failed with this error: File system formatter failed”

Thanks Walter. I’ve seen some of these posts. I’m just so frustrated with the roadblock I’ve been dealing with that I needed to confirm that file size would not be an issue with these other options. I’ll probably go with a G-RAID.

Thanks again.

Thanks Dennis! That worked great! I have another question, I’m new to using keyframes and mattes. How do I keyframe it so that it moves with the object?

Thank you Paul! I thought I was going crazy. We too had updated our FCP. And I discovered the problem because I was trying to go back to footage that we used a year ago without problem. I hope FCP fixes this issue soon. In the meantime I’ve tried the iMovie method and it works great! I wish I had known about it a month ago. I’ve been taking the footage home with me to convert on my PC where the Sony software works. Then I was converting it to MPEG4 files (which would take days) the take it back to Compressor to reconvert it to the correct codec. It was painful and messy. iMovie is so much easier and faster. For some reason I didn’t think it would recognize AVCHD files.

Thank you again!

I have a big flat screen Apple computer monitor and a couple of external speakers.

Thanks for your patience with me.

Hi Tom,

I’m pretty much a novice here, how would I check to see if the fields got reversed during ingestion?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Jeremy,

That didn’t work either. Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by monitoring?

Dave

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks Jeremy, I’ll let you know how it goes!

It’s 1080i and 30p.
