Automatically subdivide clips while logging and transferring in FCP7
When I Log and Transfer files from my camera's SDHC cards, is there a way to have FCP import them as a sequence of smaller, more manageable files? I often record 1-2 hour long continuos events and don't want to end up with one ridiculously large movie file. Also, I want to be able to archive the raw footage to cheap external hard drives that only handle files smaller than 4gig. So far, I've been setting in and out points, adding to cue, rinse, repeat. Very laborious and time consuming. I've googled and googled but have been dead-ending with my search words. I shoot with the Sony NX5U. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
