32 GB card question
I just downloaded footage from a party I did and the Sony utility program won't stitch the large files together . This was the first time I used the 32 GB card but I haven't heard any complaints from anyone. Anyone have an ideas why that would happen?

You're sure the pieces are all part of a larger continuous shot done without starting or stopping the cam? If you started and stopped the cam the app won't join the files. They must be continuous.

Thanks for the response Adam. I thought everyone might have left for vacation. Yes, it was continuous shooting. Actually, to add something stranger to the mix, 2 earlier files joined. I had approx 80 clips. The first of any length was approx 30 minutes. I saw in the Sony utility that it showed 2 files for that clip. That one joined as normal and become approx a 6 GB file. The next was about 50 minutes. The Sony utility showed 3 files but it didn't join them. It gave me that 3.9 GB file twice and then another small piece.
I was wondering about the format process but the fact that it worked on the the 30 min shot puzzled me. I guess it's not a typical issue if nobody else has had the issue. I'll format it and try again. |
Hm, that is puzzling...
|
not on holiday, but having not experienced your problem was waiting to see any response.....
it is rather puzzling since on the rare occasions i have run long enough for files to be joined, i haven't had any problems. please let us know if your subsequent tests display the same - hopefully they don't and it's just another case of a ghost in the machine.... |
Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago with a dance recital that I shot (using a 32 gb SanDisk Extreme III 32 gb card with an MRC and an FX1000). However, when I put the files together on a PPro CS5 timeline, it was all seamless.
Do you have any lost frames between the file clips that the utility brought in? |
Thanks for the responses. I was missing some frames when I threw it on the timeline. I'm getting ready to go to CS5 maybe I'll try that timeline. It's not a desperate situation, I have a tape backup, but I wanted to see if anyone else had that problem. Hopefully, just some strange thing that happened on a new card. By the way, it's a Lexar 32GB 300x card. Thanks.

and?
am wondering whether a. the card, b. the fact that it was 32gb? just in case i decide to buy one...... thanks |
I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out. I hope it's not the card. I've been waiting patiently for this one.
|
Update: I shot this weekend with the 32 GB card and everything was fine. The long files stitched as they should. I'm guessing I forgot to format it the first time. That's the only explanation I have.
|
thanks rob - appreciated - though i didn't think you had to format new cards (then again, i always do....)

let us know how that one goes too please.....
have avoided 32gb cards as default simply because of the odd things i've read - though in truth, problems do appear few and far apart,,,,, |
I'm happy to announce that everything is great with the card
|
great to hear.
might just go and get one for the rare concerts i shoot.... |
