  Naming P2 Cards

  Posted by Craig Richard on September 25, 2009 at 7:46 pm

  Right click, left click, desktop – nothing seems to be able to give my P2 cards a name. All help appreciated, would simplify a lot of naming, ah, stuff. MacPro, fcp 6.6.
  Thanks all.

  If you download the PCD 25 or 30 driver from panasonic, it includes an app called “P2 formatter”. This will allow you to name the cards and maintain file structure.

  Thanks Mattew, I’ve noticed in the thread some problems with this software, have you had a negative experience with this?
  Thanks

  In the beginning I found that every so often when the computer had been on for a long time, P2 formatter would not format the card properly and I would have to run the card through the camera’s format process.
  I have found that restarting the laptop before formatting works every time. I don’t use the duel adapter, I have a PCD 25 via 1394b.
  Matthew.
