Alright boys and girls,

I uncovered a nice (possible temporary) solution to our predicament.

So like most of you, I had shot with an HD cam onto an SD card. Then i imported the .mts into fcp6.05
Stupidly, i then went into the card files and manually removed all the .mts thinking this would clear the card of the used space (and it did).

However upon shooting again I discovered that these new clips i shot were not recognized. I thought it was that i had deleted files from the card that were important. The deal is that Final cut reads clips in order of their information, not the .mts files. So therefore when entering your card files you should have, AVCHD > BDMV > Backup, Clipinf, playlist, stream.
In the clipinf you should have the same amount of files as stream. Your clipinf files (.cpi) should follow the same title number as the .mts
Deleting excess of .cpi from the computer will help nobody.

The solution that worked for me was to simply put the card back into the camera and through the playback mode, go and delete all clips that appeared as a question mark or clips that would not play. Through doing this i was removing any ghost files that would not show on the SD card when plugged into the computer and saved the corrupted card. Then upon reloading the SD card into the computer the L and T worked like a charm.

So to sum all that up. Delete appearing corrupt clips from THE CAMERA and not from your computer. (if they are corrupt enough you may have to select (delete all) from your camera to which you would lose the clips you are trying to import).

Let me know if this helps or helped anyone else.

I’m no expert though, so go easy on me.
