Q: “I shot some videos of my friend’s wedding but the SD card was corrupted, so I could not download videos from the card. I’ve tried many ways to copy the video to FCP but still could not get it to work. The files shout be in MTS together with many garbage which I can found in card but cannot log and transfer. Can someone help?”

Many of us may encounter many issues when downloading footages from cameras: like this camera is not supported by Windows/Mac; like the SD card may not be formatted correctly although it works as it’s good when shooting, in any case we just can’t move the videos to computer. Usually if we lose the original file structure, the footages cannot be downloaded smoothly.
