What happened was that the tech on shoot pulled 10 cards onto an external hard drive, then imported into final cut in a separate partition on the same drive. the partition with the imported data seems to have a malfunction, leaving me with the raw files on the other partition. These files are in 10 folders named Card 1, Card 2… the LastClip document is missing.
Based on what you wrote, I renamed the Card 1 folder Contents and did a log and transfer and all the clips showed up in the window and I could go thru the footage! So that is a good thing! but for some reason, only two of the really small clips imported.
Could it by my system can’t handle the data? I have a dual 1.25 g4 now. in a few days I will have two dual 3.0s in a new G5, so if its a system issue I can wait for that.
