Hi Nick,

Sorry to hear you’re experiencing the same frustrations. I do believe you’re right, that it’s Mavericks (as Shane explained above). But I think I’ve also seen earlier versions of OSX sometimes only have an AVCHD file, and other times have a folder. I’m not sure what distinguishes when things happen one way or another.

I also know that you can right-click on the AVCHD file and choose “open package contents” to get at all the folders inside that you’re used to, but I don’t think there’s a way to do this from inside FCP.

Once again, thanks for the detailed response. Adobe Premiere Pro sounds like the best option, given everything you’ve said (and that all my friends talk about using it)… I will look into it, and I’m sure I’ll be an APP user before too long.

Thanks again, Shane. You’ve been super helpful and informative.

Cheers!

Hi Shane,

That is a thorough answer. Thank you for that. I can’t help but feel a little disheartened. My beloved FCP7. My beloved QT7.

Looks like I’m going to have to seriously consider moving to a new editor. Would you have any recommendations for a smooth transition to something new? (I know FCPX is an option, and may even let me keep all of the projects I created in FCP7 over the years?)

Thanks for the quick response. However, I should have mentioned that I have been using the AVCHD plugin through Log and Transfer. (That’s how I convert to 422) I have been doing this for nearly two years with perfectly fine results. Just looking to find out why things are behaving different since yesterday…?
