Workaround: Set the camera to record Dolby Digital audio – MENU > AUDIO SET > AUDIO FORMAT > DOLBY DIGITAL – and yes, yes I know, LCPM audio is one of the selling points of the HXR-NX5, don’t tell me…Ģ) L&T sometimes populates the clip menu (if that’s what you call it) automatically. Short clips of a few seconds will often transcode in less time than the duration of the clip clips of 20 minutes can take an hour and a half to transcode. I’ll list these along with workarounds, if any.ġ) L&T takes extraordinarily long to transcode long AVCHD clips shot with uncompressed LCPM audio – by long clips I mean more than a couple of minutes. However, I’ve encountered a few problems with L&T. You can use L&T to ingest footage direct from recording media (via a card reader, for example) or from AVCHD files stored on a harddrive. This is accomplished via the Log and Transfer (L&T) tool, which can be found under the File menu in FCP. You need to transcode the AVCHD files created in the camera to another codec, such as ProRes 422, in order to edit the footage (this transcoding is also called ‘ingesting’).

Not all problems will necessarily apply to both versions all the time.įinal Cut Pro (FCP) cannot handle AVCHD footage, like that created by the NXCAM, on the timeline. Note: All comments below are drawn from my experiences using Final Cut Pro 7.01 and 7.02. High-spec desktop machines seem to have fewer issues with L&T than laptops, no matter how high-spec the latter are. However, Log & Transfer is still unstable and you must be careful not to preview clips by moving the scrubber manually in the L&T preview window while transcoding as it has a tendency (on my machines at least) to crash. Having used it for a couple of days I can confirm that FCP no longer has an issue with long clips shot with LCPM audio (they transcode very quickly all the way through, what a relief!) and original timecode is carried through (at last).

I try to do as much research as possible before soliciting advice but every now and then questions are sufficiently advanced and specific that going to the experts is a necessity.UPDATE 22 September 2010: Apple has released an upgrade to FCP, 7.03. The folder has already reached 85.1Gb in size.ġ) How do I tell Premiere to link up to the preexisting media cache files?Ģ) Is there a way to approximate how long the conform will take? Premiere only shows the progress of individual files as opposed to the project as a whole.ģ) Should I select “Save Media Cache Files next to originals when possible” to avoid this problem in the future or will it disrupt the AVCHD folder architecture?Ĥ) Will using Clipwrap to rewrap the files but not transcode them circumvent the conform stage? Unfortunately, Premiere doesn’t appear to recognize the files and has decided to conform everything from scratch. I set the Media Cache preferences to a folder on the external hard drive from which I am editing and copied the 66Gb of conformed files to it. It conformed for at least 4 hours before I realized that the files were being saved locally and had filled up my startup disk. I imported approximately 400Gb of AVCHD footage into Premiere. I’m experiencing some difficulty with audio conforms in Premiere CC and would really appreciate your input.
