  Log and Transfer -Red Exclamation! Mark

  Posted by Jason Pence on April 22, 2008 at 7:49 am

  Hi all,

  I’m experiencing the red exclamation mark with some of my P2 clips when importing during Log and Transfer. What’s really strange is both red clips are showing the different start times BUT, the same Media Duration time. Humm…. I haven’t actually time them yet, but would assume that the durations are different. There’s only 2 reds in 30 or so clips and the reds play fine in the Log window. I read a number of potential fixes and tried them; no avail:

  *Turning off Advanced Pull down,/ Remove Drop Frames
  *Import from another hard drive
  *Rename
  *Reboot

  I saw no follow-ups , so just wondering if anyone knows of any new fixes without having to purchase RAYLIGHT? FYI This hiccup is happening when importing from a Rugged Lacie hard drive.

  Thanks,
  Jas

  One thing just occurred to me… is to try the P2CMS for those clips.

  #36 – One or More P2 files failed to import.

  Shane’s Stock Answer #36 – “One or more clips failed to import…”

  Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don’t like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)…the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window…is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.

  What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.

  ALSO…in the P2 Import window…in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.

  ALSO…make sure your file names aren’t too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.

  Thanks for the response Noah. A couple of other issues I encountered. First, I wasn’t able to import the the red marked clips in total. I ended up having to set in/out points and break up the longer clips into roughly thirds. The longer clips were around 30 min. The issues seem to be originating with longer clips.

  Noah, no clips were ever deleted in the field or otherwise, remove pull down was disabled and there was no dragging and dropping. Still confused…. seeing the other clips imported without incident.

  Anyways… still a little confused but I got it to work for now.

  BTW I’m not even sure this was the correct forum to post this issue in : )

  Best,
  Jas
