Digital Artifacts in p2 footage

[Jan Crittenden livingston]

Hi Lars,

The problem is most likely that you are importing to FCP off of the card. I have seen this many times. The recommendation is for Apple users to move the data off of the Card to a Hard Drive, and then import. Problem will not happen again.

Best,

Ya that is what I did. It has worked fine for every other project I have done but to all of the sudden have many errors in 1 4-gig transfer was weird. I guess I will have to transfer the footage over before import into FCP.

Thanks,

Does this mean to import from the the data that has been copied TO the harddrive and not at all from the P2 card?

Also, is it best to copy to the harddrive as just a regular drag/drop copy (Of the entire card contents of course) to the hard drive, or is it best to make a disc image of the P2 card?

Recently i’ve been importing right off the P2 card, then making a drag/drop backup to the FW800 drive, AND making a disc image copy of the P2 card right to the PB G4 1.67. Am I to a point overdoing it?

On a Mac, yes. On the PC importing from the card works fine, but not on the Mac. On the Mac you have to import from a hard disk or you run the (very tiny) risk of an occasional bit of corruption in a frame here or there.
