Ok, update! Workaround rather than a solution here. Going to go detailed here just in case somewhere in the world someone else has the same issue. Footage was filmed on a Sony HXE2500E . I used the DirectCopy function to extract the SD card's contents onto another SD card using a USB card reader. Took ages, possibly where/how the suspected corruption occured. Now, I tried this again but it seems you can only DirectCopy once as the files on the card get marked as such so you cant DC onto different cards/USB drives etc. Which is a bit pony really, dont know why that would be setup as such. Tried various apps, renames, extension changes, Handbrake, Shutter Encoder, nothing worked. Workaround was to use my ElGato 60 capture USB "card", playback the footage in real time and capture it to my PC. Then I'll bring it into Premiere and clip it up. So not an ideal solution but it gets me out of a hole and hopefully someone else in the future. I'll now run diags on my SD cards to see if they're failing / risk of failure. Hope this helps someone. Have a great week ahead! Lu
