  • ?HVX200 export into FCP 5.1.4 Looking for settings on both cam & FCP

    I just started playing/testing w P2 card recording in cam. I have hooked it up to FCP and it recognizes the camcorder. I try to import via file ..import…p2 nothing shows up on FCP.
    Clips are on the card…looks ok in VF on camera.

    Besides AV setutup as DVCPROHD and import P2 are their other settings on FCP?
    What about the camera are there settings on it for transfer?

    Sorry, if this is a stupid basic question, but tape still works fine for me and I am just stepping into the world of direct to hard drive filming.

    Have you copied the files from your P2 card to you Hard Drive? If not, you really should do that first. To mount your P2 card onto your desktop through the camera, there’s a button that you click on the back to go from camera to VCR mode (sorry, can’t remember tech names off the top of my head). Push and hold that button down (making sure you already have your firewire cord connected between your camera and your computer) and this will put the camera into PC mode (I do remember that term:). From there the card should mount on your desktop (probably called No_Name) and your should be able to open and see some files and folders from there. Make a folder on your Hard Drive and **COPY EVERYTHING** over. From there, you should be able to do your File/Import/P2 from FCP and bring your files in from there. Hope this helps.
