Hi Richard,

Yes I can see my external hard drive on my desktop. I can even use it for import to other apps like Premiere.

Thanks,
Jabbar

Thanks! What about if I down-rez it to 4K?

Thanks,

Hi Shane,

Your advice is very illuminating! I think you’re sensing that it would be more efficient to just edit in Resolve rather than try to move everything over. I’ve been playing with the Resolve editing tool and is seems like the trimming a bit like FCP X. I’ll look for those Premiere Pro keyboard shortcut presets and get to work in Resolve.

Thanks,
Jabbar

Stephen,

I’m somewhat familiar with the MPEG Stream Converter application. I may try that!

Thanks!

Oops Steven,

I think I spoke too soon! Your technique works with the footage from one card, but not the other three! The issue is this is actually my students’ work. They are delivering the dailies to me and shot double system on a M-10 audio recorder. In an effort to be more organized, they renamed some of the folders that the 5D generated and mixed in their audio files with their video files and data files. Some of them may have even deleted some of the data files (I’m pretty sure these cases are a lost cause).

In any case, i have all of their material and re-structuring the file system as such:

DCIM>100CANON>Video and data files

doesn’t seem to work most of the time. I have tried to replace the 100CANON folder with one named 100EOS5D (I think I saw that somewhere)–but this doesn’t work either.

Any other suggestions? I am just shy of asking them to down-convert to NTSC DV in Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder to edit that. I really don’t want to do this. Do you have any other suggestions that may help?

thanks,
jabbar
