Hi Gang
My friend is getting an incompatibilty warning that he can't log and transfer using the Canon 32 Gig VIXIA HF G20 HD in FC6, (within an older Power Mac G5).
Aside from using iMovie 11, does anyone have any suggestions - we can't afford an Intell Dual right now.
Thanx

I believe you need intel processors to use AVCHD footage.

Meg is right. In order to convert footage to ProRes via Log and Transfer, FCP requires an Intel mac. You might be able to pull this off with ClipWrap 2 from Divergentmedia.com (free demo). It will take a while though...
Also, the camera might be too new for the version of FCP you are running.
If you go the Clipwrap route (which works great) you'll need to make sure you download the PowerPC version on their Legacy page.
Download the trial version first.

Hi Meg
As per Shane, I actually just tried to get 'Clipwrap' for my own G5, and couldn't find a version for 10.4.
If I'm understanding this correctly, you'd have to have something to start with - some type of file that was pulled off the camera - correct?
The problem is, only iMovie 11 will aceept clips from that camera, and export Via its own version, (whatever that is?)
Are you saying that Clipwrap has a built-in capture software to connect to the camera?
Thanx
Mike
On the Clipwrap Legacy page, I see a version for OS 10.5, nothing earlier.
When you use clipwrap you plug the camera in to the computer and the camera will appear as a disk drive on the desktop. You then drag the video files you want to convert into clipwrap and it will do the conversion.
I don't know anything about iMovie.
You might want to contact Clipwrap and see what they recommend in your situation. I think the problem is that you are using AVCHD material on operating systems and hardware that pre-date the implementation of AVCHD capable workflows.
