Didn’t save P2; just have quicktime files-help…
Hi there,
On one of my first HVX200 shoots, where I didn’t understand the workflow at all, I converted the P2 clips to Quicktime files on site (using the log and transfer window), and never saved the actual P2 files. So I only have the quicktime files and no original raw P2 data. I would like a recommendation on how to proceed with these files. Are they lower res than the originals? Should I back them up? Can I somehow convert the quicktime files back to raw P2 data?
Thanks for any help…

Back them up. Just like you would the original files. Just know that now you are limited to ONLY using these with FCP.
[Jonathan Skurnik] “re they lower res than the originals? “
Nope. Same quality.
[Jonathan Skurnik] “Should I back them up?”
Yup.

You can’t convert them back into the format that the card records. But I hear that some software (MXF4QT export) will convert it to MXF. But I don’t know for sure.

I haven’t done this, but I believe the latest version of Raylight “makes” P2 cards from QT. https://dvfilmstore.com/raylight-for-mac.html
