Avoiding the Log&Transfer Tool
 
 
 

If you use the Log&Transfer tool to ingest R3D files, the Reel name of the imported clips has a directory name. You will then have to manually rename each Reel to their 16-character RED filename.

Also, the Log&Transfer tool often imports only parts of clips over 4 GB, dividing them up while adding a “_1”, “_2” to the filename, which hinders relink operations later on.

Examples of faulty filenames: A clip named A001_C004_0206T9, imported in FCP using Log&Transfer, is renamed A001_C004_0206T10. A clip named A001_C004_0206TB, imported in FCP using Log&Transfer, is renamed A001_C004_0206TB1.
