Enable the "Field Motion" header in the bin ("Source Path," "Source File," and "FPS" are also good headers to have, while you're at it - I save this as a bin view). After you copy your card (and check the media in MC, and ideally back it up elsewhere), reformat the card in the camera - that way, you don't have duplicate media. If you need to identify original files, after you rename clips, to know which clips are associated with which days/cards/folders, you can use the "Source Path" and "Source File" bin headers to find them. Rename the clips in the bin all you want, but never modify anything about the original files. Name that folder something distinctive! Something like YYYYMMDD-Cam#-Card# where you have a date, camera number, card number. Rather than editing directly from the SD card, you should copy the ENTIRE contents of your card, into a folder on your media drives. ClipWrap is great in theory it combines FAT32-split files into one clip, it keeps timecode, it renames, it automatically detects progressive/PsF media - all kinds of great things that I wish the AVCHD plugin in MC would do - BUT for whatever reason, when I AMA link to ClipWrap-made files (using the quick-rewrap option), Media Composer has a tendency to just stop responding. The Avid AVCHD plugin works pretty well - definitely gets you to a good starting point, from which you can start roughcutting, make selects, transcode, etc.
