Try searching for “Magic Bullet Grinder” it will ignore the file structure that FCP needs when using the EOS plugin during Log and Transfer.
hope that helps.

Don’t forget to hit Shift + S so you can hear the audio while you scrub at high speed.

I appreciate the help. That is what I thought as well (I have gone through BC and L&T opened up). I am trying to avoid the process of ingesting all the clips and then manually editing them in. (18 minute short film)
Anyone know a way around this?

Aaron,
Have you been trying to view clips and log and transfer at the same time? I have found that if you let the log and transfer process finish (uninterrupted) then clips will not be truncated. I have on occasion, manually set ins and outs on each clip before doing the log and transfer. This seems slow, but it has worked for me in the past.
Good luck.

Doesn’t iChat require you to export a QT and compress it before you even initiate a chat? What I am looking for is a live feed from my timeline streaming to my client.

I agree that using the columns to do “keyword” searches is a great method, but I have to add that putting clips or takes into sequences is also a good method.
For example, if you have multiple takes of a scene you can easily rule out bad takes or see, back to back, the different interpretations of a performance.
I think my clients appreciate the ability to see takes edited down in a quick succession. Makes weeding out the bad easier. I actually create a master sequence of all takes (except for false starts or obviously bad takes) and then I duplicate that sequence and remove even more from the duplicated sequence until I get down to a “select” few.This works for me, perhaps not everyone.

I have also had good luck doing the scroll in After Effects. I never had to do any “math”. Try rendering in frames or if that doesn’t look acceptable, render with fields to match your Sequence settings. Good luck.

Yes, this was amazing when Avid implemented this feature. So simple, and a huge time saver. So, no way to do it in FCP? That should have been added a long time ago. I will trudge along for now.
