Urgent Help Appreciated!

[ge90]

Hi all

 

I would very much appreciate some help with a query.......

 

I am using Toast 11 on my Mac. I have successfully created a project by using the AVCHD files straight from my camcorder SD card. All good so far, I am amazed I got the far!

 

But, although I have burnt the project disc, I have saved the project just in case I want the tweak the project at a later date. I have realised that the project is looking for the source files, which I have cut and pasted to an external hard drive.

 

Anyway, I am about to start another urgent project, and would like to start by copying the content of the SD card to my external hard drive, where they will stay, and where I will work the project from. However, I cannot seem to browse to the media on the external HD within Toast. Am I going mad?? The closest I got was to search as data, but it showed the files as QuickTime I think, and could not open them.

 

Help! Thanks again!

Thanks. I ended up doing this by also saving the clips to the ext HD, then using Finder to drag and drop the clips into the Toast project.

 

Thanks again

I think what you need to do is first create an AVCHD Archive which is the last option in the Toast Video window. I don't have a camcorder but I'm pretty sure this is it.
