I have just been using the same computer with final cut for another project, but with the footage stored on a different hard drive – and have just gone back to the original project where this strange log and transfer pattern was occurring – I’m not sure what has changed, but now the log and transfer is working perfectly again – maybe as a result of having to reset the scratch disks ? – I’m not sure – haven’t really changed any other settings (that I am aware off) – but now its cured – fantastic – I suppose its just that thing of getting the software to reset/refresh itself. Thanks for the input. Cheers

Thanks for the reply
– I’m not sure which specific preferences I should trash – have reset conversion format,and pathway and rebooted.
The same thing is happening.

But trying it again – it is clear that it is taking two tries at each clip to successfully convert them:
– if I select a block of ten clips in the log and transfer window, it will transfer only every alternate clip (even though it appears to go through the same process for each clip)
– if I select each clip individually,I need to do the process twice, and the second time it goes through.

– this wouldnt be a problem, except that this is documentary footage with a few thousand clips- it was working perfectly – I could select a block of clips and just let them run through.

Thanks for any input
