  P2CMS database issue

  Posted by Andrew Johnstone on September 20, 2013 at 12:39 pm

  P2CMS does not seem to recognise an exiting database.

  Now I do not regularly use this to ingest content to FCP, preferring to make a hard copy of the “Contents” and “lastclip” files to an external drive and then ingesting data using “Log and capture” in FCP, but I did use P2 CMS when I first got my P2 system.

  I have all the data file (and of course I now have the Quicktime files in the FCP ingest archive/scratch disc) but if my database is corrupted, is there another way to read them without the “last clip” file?

  I am going to have a look to see if Adobe Premier can open the files natively…

  Thanks for any help.

  You could try just creating a new database and then see if P2CMS will read the clips.
  Basically I never used the ingest function anyway, Just read the cards or folder, select which clips you want and then export to a new folder.
  Alternatively you could try P2 viewer plus
