Hi, Greg.
The codec is AVCHD, and the camera is a Panasonic. I believe the quality is standard HD video. We don’t have a lot of space on the Macs, but the students are saving to external hard drives with at least one terabyte of memory. The Macs are 30-inch and HD. It seems like Final Cut does log and transfer the clips, but then those clips (or at least half of them) don’t show up in the project. The reason I say this is because when we try to log and transfer the clips again, we can’t click on them, as if they’ve already been transferred. It usually stops logging and transferring at clip 30 or so.
Thanks again!
Jody
