Hi There,

I am media managing a sequence in order to upgrade from ProRes Proxy to ProRes 422. The media originates from a Sony HDR AX200E camera with no tape involvement.

I’ve had no problem with ingesting using log and transfer and editing the AVCHD files as Prores Proxy.

I media manage the sequence and make a copy. I set up Log and transfer with the new settings (ProRes 422, and location of the original AVCHD media which I had copied from the camera to a separate drive. I put the sequence off line. So far so good. Then I attempt to batch capture the sequence and get the following message.

“The selection contains clips that originate on both file based devices and tapes. The clips from tapes will be processed first and the file based clips after that.”

Then another message, “Unable to initialise HDV deck. Please make sure deck is connected.”

When I attempt to proceed with the batch capture it does capture some of the files, but not others. There are no files from tapes.

Any ideas?

Sorry it was a long time to reply, but I am now editing the project in ProRes (Prox) on FCP. Its fine at the moment but I am worried that this problem of clips all resetting time code to zero will become a disaster at the online process. I’ve already noticed that the FCP timeline indicates duplicate frames when there aren’t any.

Hi Jerry,

Yes the reel names are the same. ie they are the name of the folder they were ingested from. The only thing different is the file name which seems to be unique.

Hi Gary,

The film will go to online after it leaves me, so I guess I will supply it to the online house with the sequence and media consolidated onto a drive and the audio supplied as an OMFI. It is destined for US broadcast (1080 60i).

Thanks for the information. I think I’ve got it now. However, I read that once you have captured the AVCHD media, (which is what it would be) using log and capture to transcode, you can’t then output back to AVCHD. What would you normally output to?
