Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I have had nothing but nice things to say about X...all of a sudden, not seeing external drive.

I am so screwed. Cannot see any of my projects. Cannot see external drive. Have no idea what to do. Deadline looming. Please help.


Best.

Hi Tom.


Thanks for the quick reply. I think I just discovered the problem. I client came in today and gave me some files from a consumer camera, AVCHD files. I put them on my external. So troubleshooting tonight, I thought that might have caused the problem. Sooo...I deleted those files and now my external drive and projects are back. I have never worked with AVCHD, only .mov files. What is so different? Workflow?


By the way, love your new book.


Best.

Hi Tom. You are spot on. Now, I have a private folder/AVCHD folder/BDMV folder/and in the BDMV folder I have a clipinf folder, Index.BDM, MovieOBJ.BDM, playlist folder and Stream folder. I am so used to using .mov files, I have no idea how to import this stuff.


I am currently back working thanks to you on my project for air. But this new AVCHD material has be stumped. How do I get it into the system? The client is not coming in to cut until next week so I have time.


As always, thanks for all of your knowledge and insight.


Cheers.

Tom

Hi Tom - I apologize for highjacking this discussion but I have your book and see where you've asnwered this question for so many other people in the past and just hoped I could get a quick answer.


I have clips converted from my camera to what I thought was an FCE format Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920x1020 24 fps however when edited in the timeline I receive an unrendered error. Is there a way to change the sequence settings to match the clip settings (attach screen shor of clip properties). If I need to import the clips again which format/settings should I use?
