Hi,
I have problem with importing AVCHD (.mts) to FCPX. I'm getting that window:
IMPORT FAILED: The following clip encountered an error during import:
Clip Name: Clip #1.mov
Device: CARD1
Event: 2018.07.01 RACE 2 - Mini
Newest FCPX - 10.4.3
What is weird - why this windows shows clip as .mov file? Any ideas about this problem?
MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5), null
OK, problem solved. I will put here more info, because it can be useful for others...
A52codec was responsible for all that problems with importing AVCHD's to FCPX. This is AUDIO codec. And location for this codec is different than other codecs. Most of the video codec are in Library/QuickTime, but this audio codec is in Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/Components.
Final Cut Pro X need to transcode AVCHD during importing. And everything is fine if your AVCHD contain 2 channels stereo audio tracks. Then standard Apple codec doing job and Final Cut have no problems. The problems begin when you have AVCHD with A52 codec, which is used for more than 2 audio channels. In my case I've had 4 channels and this A52 codec. Final cut couldn't recognize properly this 4 channel, because audio codec told to FCPX that it must ne surround audio (but is not). Then FCPX get crazy and report that stupid error.
After I've deleted this A52 codec, my FCPX finally started importing AVCHD properly.
I've spend 2 days with Console and Logs to find out where is the problem...

It’s not a problem with the codec, which is unchanged, still H.264. Try opening the original file in the QuickTime player.
AVCHD is rewrapped to QuickTime when it’s imported.
I think files are fine, because after this error I can see this clip in preview (I can even quickly see what is inside by changing head position). Besides, the same files working fine on other computer with the same FCPX version.
I just don't understand what can be wrong...
Cześć Tom,
So, can be problem with codecs? Or something else?
