Hi Tom
Thanks for your response and sorry for the incomplete information.
Camera is Panasonic FT1 capturing AVCHD Lite at 1280×720, 50P/17Mbps at 25fps. Results are the same if I capture out of the camera or with the card in a reader.
Computer is a 2.8 8 core Mac Pro (2008) running 10.5.6
FCE is version 4.0.1
FCE site on boot drive. Clips sit on a separate 1 TB data drive installed in the computer.
When I add clips to the queue, the status wheel will turn for about 5 seconds and stop. If I then click on the status wheel it turns to a red exclamation mark and a right click reveals a message saying “no data”.
The preview on the right hand side of L&T works fine.
I have tried changing to plain stereo and clearing the cache, no luck.
Thanks again for any help.
Regards
Hugh
