  P2 problem

  Posted by James Carroccio on March 27, 2012 at 10:09 pm

  Please help,

  I import p2 files in fcp (5.1.2) and it appears, but the moment I click and drag the vid to the queue, the status gives me an exclamation symbol in red.

  It ingest sd vid fine, but will not que my 720p.

  I havent tried ingesting anything on my iMac g5 in a couple years, and ever since I upgraded to s ow lepord my rather old Fcp is touchy.

  Thank you in advance.

  Can you walk us through your process a bit?
  Did you transfer all the cards contents to the computer first?
  (And hopefully back it up)
  Did you L&T the P2 Media into the edit?
  Oh wait, you’re version 5??
  You have just the import option correct?

  Have you viewed the tapeless workflow tutorial here on the cow?

  When I go to import-

  There is a special option for Panasonic p2

  The video content appears in the window but when I import it, it remains idle and ! Symbol Appears (as if it can’t finish uploading)

  Log and transfer is A Ok with Sd content

  Does p2 work well with the new FCP X?

  I need to get new software.

  Thx for your help

  I’m using FCP7 so I’m not sure if this applies When I have that exact same problem I go to the little gear icon in the Log & Transfer window and toggle “Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames” under Preferences which always fixes it. Don’t know why, but it works.
