Sorry to trouble you again, but the problem might lie somewhere with this message:

WARNING:

“BPAV contains unsupported media or has invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.”

Does this mean much to anyone!

Many thanks

That’s really get information. However, our problem is that when we try to import the footage into FCP it keeps saying: “The import location at volumes cannot be found” Any thoughts on what we have done wrong?

Many thanks

John thanks very much for your swift reply.

As you seem pretty knowledgeable on this subject, and I am relatively new to the Canon 5D format, I hope you don’t mind me directing a couple of supplementary questions your way.

I work in England and recently shot some B-roll for an American company. They asked for it to be shot 30fps, which we duly did. The thing is the shots all look jerky until they are converted to Apple Pro Res.

Why is this?

Also, a client thought I would be shooting in Apple Pro Res, but I presume this is impossible as this is just a codec and one can shoot Canon 5D format mark 2 in H.264? Thanks very much in anticipation for any help you can lend me, regards Philip

It would be great is someone could clarify an issue about editing H.264 canon 5d mark 2 footage in FCP 7.

An editor (who I don’t know very well) insisted that you can edit in H.264 with the latest FCP – is that true, if so what version of FCP is he referring to? I found that converting to Apple Pro Res LT meant the files increased in size by at least three time! Can this right? If not, should I be using a differetn Pro Res setting?

Thanks

Philip

Thanks for your comments and help I’ve now managed to work it out and just imported the .mov files straight into FCP, it turns out that my mate had already carried out the decoding for me hence why they had been converted already into .mov
