thanks for the response!
I do understand what the half-moon indicates, I am trying to figure out why and what I can do to fix it – there were no in and out points set during log and transfer. in some cases, I can scrub through the audio of a clip in the log and transfer window, but after importing them, the imported clip no longer plays all of the audio, only a few seconds before the waveform disappears.

Thanks to all for assistance, totally appreciate it!
I hope I can figure out soon what this issue is. As for now I have used a different computer with an updated FCP 6 and used log and transfer to convert the files successfully.
Very curious as to why my FCP was not having any.

Thanks to all!

Ah, AG-HVX200, sorry

Jeremy, thanks for the response!

I do not have Perian installed on my computer.
I also do not have fxfactory, as the supported Host is FCP 6 and 7, not FCP 5 like I have.

Hard drive IS OS extended.

The equipment is rented. I shot with a P2 3CCD.

I’m still stuck,
still hoping for another good lead!
Thanks,

Fanjoy,

Thank you so much for your step-by-step breakdown. I found it very easy to follow, it was clearly a smart move and I really do appreciate it!

However, at this point i feel utterly hopeless. It has not worked for me. I kept in mind that I am using FCP 5, so I do not have a “log and transfer” option. I stuck with the Import > Panasonic P2, and then did the re-ingestion from there. Same issue. I can view and scrub audio just fine in the viewer, i just simply cannot get it on board. I feel as though I’ve tried everything and I’m stuck.

Is there anything perhaps about my setup settings that I have missed or done incorrectly that has led me to bring this on myself? I shot with a P2 3CCD at 720p/60 fps. I adjusted Easy Setup and Audio/Video Settings in FCP accordingly, making sure all were aligned for HD-DVC Pro 720/60. I mounted my P2, dumped the mxf files onto my hard-drive, and so it goes.

I’m lost.

PLEASE HELP FANJOY

I am having the exact same issue you had, only I am using FCP 5, not 6, but the issue is precisely the same. The difference is that EVERY CLIP is doing this. the conversions seem to begin to happen and after a few seconds i get the indication that the clip is “idled” and then the dreaded red exclamation point. when highlighting this insignia it says “no data.”

Can you explain in lamen terms what it is you did to get past this?

I tried 3rd party means, I tried unchecking the “advance pulldowns” option, etc.

regards,

Heidi

Matt,

I am having the exact same issue, and to the reply-ee, I have indeed tried unchecking the advance pulldown option in the settings tab under “preferences”.

The only difference is that I am using Final Cut 5, not 6, but the issue is exactly the same. I have tried importing the mxf’s directly from the P2 camera, but same thing happens.

Have you resolved this issue as of late?
If not, do we perhaps have something in common in our Easy Setup settings that may have something to do with FCP not being able to convert these mxf’s to quicktime?

waiting for response from anyone who can help!!!!
