can’t import all clips
we have five folders with content. however I’m only able to import the fifth folder’s content. I am not sure what might be missing. seems like all appropriate content is in the other folders.
one curious thing is that when opening one of the other folder’s icon folder and looking at the thumbnails, it appears (on the super tiny thumbnail) that the image is corrupted. I can see some of the image, but some of it also looks like snow. I do not see this in similar clips in the one good folder.
anyone have this issue?

Umm how did these folders get made in the first place? Do they all have the proper lastclip.txt and sub folders in place? Are they each placed into a discrete reel directory rather than all in one?

I’m not all that familiar with how the folders are set up. When they shot the footage, they used two different cards. While one card was shooting, they were downloading the footage onto an external drive (that is why we have five different folders with content from each dump).
We’ve done this in the past without any issues. Seems like everything SHOULD be there. The file size is large as if all media is actually there – we just can’t import it. All five folders have the lastclip.txt file.
I’m thinking that it might just be that the P2 card itself is corrupted?

Are the CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.txt file inside separate folders? Like Card 1, Card 2, Card 3…each with a COntents folder and txt file? Or are the CONTENTS folders named like CONTENTS 1, CONTENTs #2? They can’t be…need to be CONTENTS only, or FCP will not see them.
quick tutorial…

they are all seperately labeled as you said above. none of the folders have been named anything differently. so within your example of Card 1, the only folder is indeed labeled CONTENTS along with the LASTCLIP.TXT file. None of these folders were renamed or moved or anything like that. So it is the exact same for Card 4 or Card 5. It is as if they are just from 5 independant shoots. yet we can only import from the fifth one.
It seems logical to just think that the P2 card was corrupt, but why would the fifth and final card be okay and the first four are bad?
so bizzarre. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find any solution or mention of this elsewhere. but I really do appreciate any and all suggestions!

I then suggest you try RAYLIGHT:

I recently had great success using it to solve an issue. With this you read the MXF files without having to import them. Try it out.

I had this problem with a brand new 16gig card. In looking at the footage on the camera the thumbnail was there but the footage played back snow. I tried repair clip with P2Log Pro but it could not fix the problem. I reformatted the card and have not had a problem since.
