Similarly, a file-based camcorder sometimes spans a shot across clips on different cards or disks, if the camcorder has more than one card or disk loaded. This is referred to as clip spanning because the shot spans more than one file or clip. When a shot or take is recorded requiring more than the file size limit of a medium, a file-based camcorder starts another file, and continues recording the shot to that file without interruption.

To allow us to carry on working I was able to export a single ProRes file from FCP7 & import this into Premiere Pro but this is a convoluted workflow that should not be necessary. Has anyone else seen a problem where Premiere Pro messes up the import? I suppose that it could be that the camera has caused the problem by writing an incorrect XML directory file but doubt it as I was able to successfully import the clip into FCP7 using Log & Transfer. This problem was entirely reproducible on two different Mac Pros. This time it screwed up as each file was seen as being 46 minutes long so the whole project was 9 x 46 minutes long & there was no way to synchronise with the other assets. As an alternative I tried viewing the individual files as File Directory in the Media Browser & importing them one by one & placing them on the timeline.

However if we take PluralEyes & the other files out of the equation there is still the same problem. It took us a while to figure out what was going on as we were importing the clip & then using PluralEyes to synchronise the clip with some DSLR footage & a couple of audio tracks. So if the files are FILE01, FILE02, FILE03, FILE04 etc what the timeline effectively ends up with is actually FILE01, FILE03, FILE02, FILE04. If I import via the Media Browser viewing as Canon XF it sees one clip but when imported the individual files are out of sequence. The problem at its simplest is that the take is made up of 9 MXF files.

Trying to import this into Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 (latest version) on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) has caused no end of trouble & wasted a couple of days.

We just shot a project & ended up with a single 46 minute take with an XF105.
