Good morning and thank you for taking the time to respond

Yes the GH4 is recording time code. I can see it on playback thru the camera. I’m also able to import TC into premiere

I appreciate your comment on FCP 7. I recently crossed over to premiere myself. My problem is I have 2
Clients who still edit in FCP 7.

I’ve seen a video tutorial on importing AVCHD into FCP 7. The ironic thing is that, in the tutorial, when AVCHD is imported thru log and transfer …there is no time code in the log and transfer window either. At least initially. Once the presenter goes to a cut away of screen …all of a sudden …poof …time code appears.

Hi Shane.

So….my issues with importing AVCHD in FCP7 have been time code related. I am shooting with a panasonic GH4, and am able to simply and easily injest my AVCHD files using log and transfer. My problem is, time code is not being transferred. Each clip starts at :00.

Will changing the preferenences while transferring fix this ?

Thank you

Tim

I am talking to Panasonic right now. they are baffled as well.

I am shooting AVCHD. SD card into FCP thru log and transfer. time code should be automatically recorded on the clip. I should not have to convert the footage to Pro Res to get time code…should I ?

I have discovered there is no TC on the clips. I am talking to Panasonic right now.

More info:

I looked at the properties for my GH 4 clip. There is no time code listed.

I compared this to P2 clips, and there is a time code listed. Why am I not generating time code in my GH4 ???

Wrong forum I know.
