Log & Transfer problem using Panasonic HVX & P2 cards
I'm having repeated issues with clips failing to import through Log & Transfer. First the technical:
•I'm attempting to import footage shot on Panasonic HVX200 & HPX170 cameras using Panasonic E-series P2 cards.
•I'm importing using an HVX200 connected to my Mac Pro via Firewire.
•I'm using Final Cut Pro 7 on a Mac Pro running OS X 10.5.8
•I have 4 64GB P2 cards, each set of 2 contain one roughly 75 minute spanned clip in 1080i 60 DVCProHD format
Now for the problem:
I launch Final Cut and open the log and transfer window. With 2 of my P2 cards mounted I see my clip in the list on the left (as one clip with "(complete span)" by the file name) and am able to view it in the preview window. I know the clip isn't close to the 128GB capacity of my 2 cards as my first card filled up shortly before the end of my shoot and I have 165.9GB of available memory on my capture drive. I add the clip to the transfer queue and for 10-20 seconds it pretends like it is going to work then with no warnings or error messages it just stops. I can see the spinning progress wheel in the status column of the render queue but then it just stops spinning and when I click on it it changes to a stop sign shaped icon. If I hold mu cursor over the icon it simply says "no data" and that is the only explanation I'm getting as to why it will not import. I know the data is there I can preview it through the camera or in the log and transfer window. Anybody know what my problem may be?
