no lastfile.txt file – AAAAAGGGHHH!!!
I shot some really important footage on the HVX but missed the lastfile.txt on a couple of transfers – is there any way I can get this footage back? I am editing with FCP5.1.2 and have access to “P2 genie” and “P2 log”

Please someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that .txt file is used to link a clip that was split over 2 different p2 cards when on fills up and switches to the next. You can manually splice them back together in editing. I made the mistake of not transferring that file many times when I first used the system and it doesn’t seem to affect it other thatn what I described above. Anyone else?

Hi rik – what editing system are you on? I definately can’t import the other files (contents) into FCP. I was told the .txt file was something that tied all the contents folders together in each card.

The LASTCLIP.TXT isn’t necessary to import the CONTENTS folder properly. Rick is right, it is there to tie any footage that carries over from one card to the next. I have test imported footage without this file and they import fine.

Hi Shane – could you tell me what editing system you are on and how you import the footage?

Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on a Dual 2Ghz G5.
What, are you talking about Avid or Edius?
