Great, thank you John. Yes we have FCP 7 HD Studio on the MAC (although I know nothing about it – we have it mostly for these issues!) Ignorant question – what is Cinema Tools? is it part of FCP 7? Free download? TY!

Richard meant it is not necessary they be on the card but the folder structure must be maintained. Rename the files with shorter, more simple names, as he said, slashes are no-no’s – use underscores if needed.

Mark clip in timeline, go to IN point, matchframe – clip is loaded into source window with matchframe IN point set, select go to out point in source window and manually “mark” out point. The clip in source window now matches IN and OUT to that of marked clip in sequence.
As stated above, Avid only “matchframes” the current frame in the sequence (the frame where the blue line is parked)

If you are OCD the way I am you can put the sequence in the source monitor and edit the tracks to a new sequence, patching the source monitor tracks to your choice of the new sequence tracks, thereby reordering so you see the tracks in a visual representation like Avid views them.

True – This guy is a very good photographer so we used him again … meaning the first time this happened, we had him send us the tapes and digitized directly into Avid 720p – it is indeed on tape, however, I thought this time that we had the codec bugs worked out. i have a suspicion that he digitized from start to end and there is something at the end of these files that is corrupt … even the 2 files I was working with, Sorenson gets to end end of transcoding to DNxHD codec and after nearly 4 hours of this, the program freezes with 2 minutes left.

Yes, very familiar and happy with P2 and all other tapeless workflows … this photographer had his other file based camera on another project.
Thanks again

Thanks, I will ask the Photographer AND look into Digital Rebellion – he digitized 9 tapes through FCP to create 9 QT .mov files, DVCPRO HD codec, 112mbps data rate and sent them to us. he is in New mexico and we are in TN. When he did this through FCP, he went directly to our drive that we sent him. I do not know what process he used ‘through’ FCp as I have never used FCP even though we have it installed on several MACs. I thought he said he went “straight through” thereby creating the individual files ‘as they were digitized’. We are basically a PC group using Avid, but we have Avid and FCP on our MACs. FCP, iMovie, Avid, QT – none of these will see 7 of the 9 files but do see 2 of the 9. Sorry to confuse the matter, it is just that I have tried troubleshooting on my own using everything I have to find a solution before posting.
The 2 folders (audio renders etc.) seemed to have no data in them to amount to anything and the QT .mov files seemed to be all self-contained – they all played fine before I killed the hard drive and lost the “2 extra folders”Ricky

This is beyond me – makes no sense … probably just a setting but sorry to say, I can’t help with this.
