  • Here’s a funny thing. (It’s not, really.)

    I figured it out! Having wandered through the panel’s settings, I changed a parameter or two, which reset the controller and all the info appeared in the System Properties & Disk Utility!

    Stand down, everyone 🙂

    This is something that I’ve not experienced first hand, but there are a LOT of people who are shooting on Canon XF305’s and end up importing using the Sony XDCam app, and they’re all experiencing this same audio out of sync/jerkiness problem.

    I’m guessing that the Sony XDCam tool is being used because it’ll actually SEE the MXF files, where the Canon app fails to even recognise them.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but the problem seems to be caused by failing to copy the rushes off of the CF cards properly. The MXF files alone are insufficient. There are additional files that need to be with the MXF, in a fixed folder structure before they will be recognised properly.

    A lot of people don’t seem to be copying their media from their camera rushes properly. That’s why they have data wranglers on shoots nowadays; it’s NOT just copy & pasting files.

    This is yet another msg in a thread of no answers, but I hope someone DOES find an answer soon!

    You’ve sorted it!

    Hooray!

    Ummm…can you share how you sorted it, please, so the n-million other people out here having the same problems might be able to fix it, too?

    Regards,

    This is a long-running issue for me & my department.

    We have 8 Mac Pro’s with Kona 3 cards and we digitize off of HDV and digibeta.

    We’ve noticed that sometimes you can go in to the Clip Settings of the Log & Capture window and it still only has 1-2 selected whilst, at other times, it’ll have 1-16 selected.

    As has been said, there probably is some logic to it, but I don’t know what it is.

    Whilst it isn’t anything that can be stored in an Easy Setup (as far as I can figure!) I guess it’s the job of the digitizer to check his/her system before starting to capture!

    Not one response, unfortunately…

    I didn’t think it was that tough of a question.

    Oh well…
