It always amazes me how nerdy I get when people start talking data rates! I’m not sure it’s healthy.

Nope. But you might be able to get an XML of a sequence back to FCP6.

Probably doesn’t help, but in FCS3, you can change the names on import. The imported file keeps a clip and volume id so that it know where the original file came from.
From my reading, FCS2 seems to just keep the clip id, but I haven’t tested that at all.

Try changing the levels of undo in user preferences. Maybe try deleting the FCP preferences.

Some of these comments are getting a little out of control. My thread has been ruined and polluted by all this bashing. You guys have different opinions. Great. You’ve stated them and they’ve been discussed. Now get on with life! If you’d like to continue your conversation elsewhere, please go for it (try the Apple forums instead:)

Martti, do you know if there is a way to just wrap an AVCHD file in a QT wrapper? Does Toast do something like that?

[Martti Ekstrand] “Well the proxy addition is nice but that can be one very long conversion session for me before even starting to edit the AVCHD footage as I can have upwards of 40-20:1 ratios.”
What? Really? Up to 20-40 hours of rendering for one hour of AVCHD? Did you mean something different?
You’ll be very glad to know that I did some tests last nigh with AVCHD on my MacBook Pro 2.4Ghz. It imported at about 1.5:1 and maxed out the processors on import. Haven’t tested it yet on a 8-core tower, but it should be faster than real-time importing.
I also then tried doing a little edit and doing a batch capture from ProRes Proxy to ProRes HQ and it worked great. It even deleted the unused sections from the clip to really bring down the size and transfer time. This is a very slick workflow.
