Right, some very strange behaviour now!

Captured the wedding yesterday and spent the morning transferring the FMU unit’s files to my computers HD. Once I imported that AVCHD folder into PP CS5 I noticed that once again the files did not show up as one duration. I had a number of files showing 11-12mins each and they had a break. So this time I transferred the data from the SD cards as well (I record to both SD and FMU for backup)…and when I imported those files in I am getting files showing the same duration – i.e. one spanned clip.

Thanks for the reply Ian. That is very strange then. Literally the only setting I changed yesterday before my test was to change audio. I am using pp 7.03 although that shouldn’t make a difference. I am shooting a wedding tomorrow but should have time to carry out some more testing next week. Will report back if I find something. Any suggestions in the mean time? Thanks

Update. I recorded a 35 min clip last night and copied all files to my hdd. File >import and imported folder into pp cs5. All clips showed 35 mins and when I moved one clip to the timeline I got a 35 min sequence. I have not noticed any breaks in video or audio. This happened once I changed audio to pcm instead of dolby. Any ideas why that has happened

Hi I am struggling with this issue too.

Ian, I have tried to use the media browser in CS5 to import the files and it still shows up as individual 12min clips. IIRC when I did some workflow tests, the audio was set to PCM and the files showed up as one clip (well individual clips but all with the same duration of 3 hours). This meant that I could import one file onto the timeline and it would show a 3 hour clip. Since then I have changed the audio to dolby…would that have made a difference? trying it out now to check but maybe someone has some insight,

On another note, any idea why the NX5 struggles with FCP’s log and transfer. Any large clips over 1 hour in duration seem to make L&T crash…I realise there were some problems back in the day with regards to PCM audio but a firmware sorted that out.

thanks,
