Thanks again for your help. The tutorial you pointed out was helpful to me in grasping some of the logic behind these systems. My footage wasn’t recognized in Log&Transfer, but I did get it all to work, ultimately, with Compressor. It’s incredibly time consuming even to scroll around in the Compressor program when it’s dealing with the H.264 footage, but it does ultimately work.
Nonetheless, I will probably look to buy a more compatible camera….
all the best,
Emily
