  Combining Multiple P2 Files Into One Clip??

  Posted by Matt Burrows on May 16, 2009 at 11:26 am

  Hi Everyone,

  I shot some interviews today for a doc I’m working on and a strange thing happened.

  Most of the interviews I shot lasted at least 30 minutes and we rolled the entire time. There was very little stopping. So I was expecting a few very long clips to import into Avid Express (v5.7). Instead, I got a lot of short clips. This is annoying because the clips end mid sound bite in many cases.

  We shot on the Focus Enhancements FS-100– the first time I’ve used it. NOT Panasonic P2 cards. I’ve never run in to this problem with P2 cards. Anyway, the time code remains consistent from clip to clip so I can always just butt the clips up together and there’s no break in my bites. But, who wants all that extra work, and, it makes logging and transcribing a real pain.

  Any ideas???

  Thanks
  Matt

  UPDATE————

  Okay, so I just remembered that the Focus Enhancements FS-100 is a FAT 32 drive and makes a new clip when your file reaches 2 gigs. So is there a way to get Avid Express or Media Composer to combine all of these 2 gig clips back into a single clip in the bin???

  Matt
