Steven P. Denny Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I have some b-roll that was recorded in 4K on a micro SD Card. It was produced from the Mavic Pro drone camera. When I try to ingest it to my FCPX, I get the alert "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer" with options to "ignore", "eject" and "initialize". I haven't hit the initialize tab for fear of it wiping the card clean. The other two options provide no solution. How can I convert this footage to be imported into my FCPX workflow for edit? In the future, should I make sure the client records in 1080p setting? I hope someone can assist me on this matter. Thank you. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the card can't be read, then it's a problem with the card or the card reader. Try a different card to see if the card reader works properly.

Steven P. Denny Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 The reader does in fact read other cards properly. It's possible this individual did not format the card prior to shooting, I suppose. If it was not formatted, is there any options to still recover the b-roll?

Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted March 21, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yea, I bet it didn't record anything. Mac's can read any media, so it's not a driver issue or something lame like that. I bet the Mavic doesn't even verify the file structure as it's writing, so it doesn't know better.
