Do not have "Log & Transfer" option so can't import footage.
by Pat Pagano on Jul 31, 2012 at 11:32:49 am

I'm about to buy The Canon XA10. Had opportunity to test it out....
works well with all the bells and whistles. When trying to import
on FCPE 10.0.0..... don't recognize camera....and I do not have
the option of going up to "File" and using log and transfer....because it is not in my drop down menu. Do I need to upgrade FCP....or is there another way around this? Appreciate any
advice...including...don't buy that camera.

Thanks,

Pat

Use command ALT I to import.

Command I is set as a default to the isight camera, it's teh very first keystroke I remapped.

HEY APPLE, that might have been an iMove default, but a PRO default is to import a FILE with COMMAND I

I have an XA10, and have used it with every version of FCPX.
Step 1.
Plug it in using USB port and turn on you Mac
Step 2
Put it in play back mode and the camera should ask whether you want to access the internal memory or one of the external memory cards (if you have installed them.)
Sep 4 Choose the memory of choice.
At this point you should be able to do either
A. Import using FCPX
B. Find an icon for the memory on the Mac desk top and drag the AVCHD file onto your hard drive.

I actually do both so I have an imported file and a "raw" AVCHD image that can be imported at any later date.
