posticon Capture problem with SOny HDR SR12 AVCHD

Can someone help this poor newbie to FCP??
I use a Mac Pro with 6GB of ram. When I log and transfer the clip played via either the viewer or canvas seems to jump and miss short segments of recording. This is despite using the Apple ProRes 422 (HQ) preset. Ive tried every capture preset I can think of and am stumped. Can someone help me before I chuck my new Handycam out the window...thanks in advance

Hi and welcome emoticon

I might need to know a bit more about the symptoms (how often are the jumps? All through the footage at 2-3 second intervals or just occasionally?)

Have you tried to open the footage in Quicktime to narrow down the problem to Final Cut Pro?

Can I ask where you are capturing to? Is it an external or an internal drive? If it's external how is that drive connected?

Its also possible that the short segments of recording that you are missing are over sreas of "spanned" media. You might want to check out THIS ARTICLE.

I'll keep an eye on this thread.
