Unfortunately I already imported all the clips into FCP and made subclips. Should I transcode then start a new project importing those files? I haven’t started editing.
Panasonic released the AVCCAM Importer (QuickTime Plug-in component). They say “The AVCCAM Importer QuickTime plug-in component is to enable direct editing of AVCHD “.mts” file (*1) without conversion. AVCHD clips recorded on a Panasonic AVCCAM lineup product can be handled directly in QuickTime 7 and Final Cut Pro 7.0.3.”
After installing all my clips appear in the bins and they seem to edit fine. Am I missing something? Do I need to spend $50 on ClipWrap?
I’m still logging 2 weeks worth of footage, haven’t tried editing. I though FCP 7 automatically transcodes to ProRes? If not do you have suggestions for doing so?
After hours of research it appears the issue is the WD GoFlex Free Agent drive which both hangs and isn’t fast enough. I’m now considering either the 2TB CalDigit or G-Raid
