  P2 xml relinking problem in FCP

  Posted by Thomas Anderson on April 7, 2009 at 10:08 pm

  I’m revising a client project from 06 that was shot on p2. I used p2 log to create the xml and associated quicktimes for import. The xmls were later moved into a different folder for archiving the project. In reopening the project clips need relinking. I can search for and located the clip in the reconnect dialog box, but once selected, it doesn’t show up in the lower box of clips to connect. If I reimport the xml I get black blank clips or an xml failed to import due to critical error warning. *!@# %! In the finder my xml is associated with the color app. which I don’t think was around when this project was created. I’m out of ideas, am I S.O.L.?

  Did you keep the entire CONTENT folder structure in tact. the xml are just points to the actual footage and audio,
  > = a folder
  ( ) = what is in the folder

  LASTCLIP.TXT
  >CONTENT
  >VOICE (empty)
  > VIDEO (MXF, these are the real video files)
  > PROXY (empty)
  > ICON (empty)
  > CLIP (xml, these are just the pointers)
  > AUDIO (mxf, these are the real audio channels)
