If you have a dslr and you are using the canon fcp ingest plug in you may have run into a situation where the plug in won’t recognize the memory card “dump” when you move footage over to a hard drive. This happens because the plug in looks for a specific folder structure.
The good news is that it is a very simple structure: there needs to be a parent folder that has two folders in it: a folder named “DCIM” and a folder named “MISC” Put a folder with your files in it in the DCIM folder. It doesn’t matter what the folder is named. The other thing is that you can’t delete the .THM files that come off of the memory card. (They are only a few kb in size, so I don’t know why people delete them in the first place)
In this image my files are in the “Canon 7d card dump 2010-04-16” folder.
That’s it! Go shoot!
