Final Cut Pro 7 error. BDMV contains unsupported media

Asked By Brett C Stalter 10 points N/A Posted on - 08/10/2013

Hi,

I have only problem when I try to import video files in Final Cut Pro 7.

What could be the cause of this annoying error message.

I need an expert advice so that I may fix this error.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Warning “BDMV” contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure.

Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.

Final Cut Pro 7 error. BDMV contains unsupported media

Hi,

I hope you are using a camcorder for which you need to follow these steps:

1. Make new folder on desktop.
2. Drag the private folder in it.
3. Point the add volumes location to that main folder.
4. Now see if it helps.

 

If you are loading files from various sources, first save into HDD. Then later you shift those files into the project folder, to edit in Final Cut.
