P2 media and AE
Perhaps a bit of esoterica, but I am running into this with enough frequency that I thought I’d check here and the P2 forum. Seems that when working with native P2 media, if you open up an existing AE project and you do not have that P2 loaded, AE sometimes randomly assigns P2 clips in the project to ANY P2 media it can find. Sometimes its non associated P2 audio, or other clips. It is becoming more complicated as we have more removable drives full of field footage.
Usually you can just reassign clips from the project window. With P2, it doesn’t even keep the same mxf clip names. Really strange and hoping I am missing something basic…

Dave,
I am on a mac too, and could give Windows cluelessness a run for its money. Just seems like its a file (just like a transcoded file out of L&T). Got to at least be a reason why this is happening.

Dave,
Your analogies always crack me up! But I’m the guy who opens up the diff to see how it works (and hope I can put it back the way I found it before my wife needs the car). Seriously, if Adobe says you can work with native p2 (and I happily do every day, this issue not withstanding) then I guess it seems like this shouldn’t be happening, or at least someone should be looking into why it does…
