Thanks, Michael!

Can I have my videographer (in another city) upload the material in the proper folder format?

Can he send me the proper folder on hard drive or flash drive for my use?

Can he send me the material on an SD card that I can read, log and transfer on a card reader without having the camera present?

Excellent points. I will definitely bear them in mind if by some miracle I ever have a chance to prepare for these things.

I haven’t been using Media Manager or EDLs very often, so we’ll be in good shape, I think. It’s a small project.

If we do end up needing time code, any reason we can’t just export the material we need from the timeline and create new files with new time code? There won’t be any need to refer back to the original material or know the sequence of it for this particular project.

I’ve been using FCP since 2000, but these SD card files are a new game for me.

Thank you, Tina. That makes sense. I’ve switched over to using MPEG Streamclip and it’s doing a great job of converting those H.264s to ProRes quickly.

Does it work faster in Log and Transfer, though? Any disadvantages to doing it this way since I don’t have the original camera folders?
