I import the long files in chunks setting the time/frames in the preview window. It’s not ideal but it works, I leave a little overlap of a few frames to be on the safe side and then re-join the portions on the timeline, they are numbered sequentially, so it’s not difficult or too time consuming.

My drives are all formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled and when I use other applications to convert the AVCHD I don’t have that problem.
I have actually discovered that some files that failed the long and transfer in Final Cut Pro succeeded when I tried the same in Final Cut Express.
It seems to be specific to FCP and I haven’t discovered yet if there is any change in the settings that may solve the problem.

July 7, 2010 at 5:07 pm in reply to: HMC 150, SD card, log transfer

Just bought an HMC 154 (same as 150) and having some problems importing in FCP.
The clips are on the card, they display and play correctly in the log and transfer window but only the short ones (few minutes) ingest correctly, the long ones (around 30 minutes) go through the process and fail at the end (red exclamation mark).
FCP has to be set to import Apple ProRes 422, other than that I am still battling with transferring the files correctly.

Little update:
The problem only seem to affect long files.
Out of 4 clips, filmed with the same settings, on the same SD card 2 short ones (a few minutes each) went through the log and transfer correctly, the other 2 (respectively 24 and 33 minutes) failed and displayed the red exclamation mark.

July 7, 2010 at 10:58 am in reply to: can’t get around the red exclamation mark on log & transfer

I am having the same problem and can’t find a way around it.
The files display and play properly in the log and transfer window, they go trough the process as usual but at the end the import fails and shows the red exclamation mark.
It is the first time I have this problem and it’s the first time I use a new camera (Panasonic 154) while I never had problems with other Panasonic cameras.

So far I always successfully imported AVHD footage shot on various Panasonic cameras from SD cards into FCP 6 on Mac (both a Macbook Pro laptop and a dualcore desktop Mac).
We have just bought two new Panasonic AG HMC 154 cameras, which should record in the same format as all other semi-pro Panasonics.
The footage appears in the log and transfer window, it plays back properly (image and sound), the clips go through the usual processing but at the end the import into FCP fails and there is no indication as to what went wrong, only a red exclamation mark appearing in the status column.
I have tried importing directly from the card and from the files copied on a drive and it did the same.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
Thanks
Roberto
