Downloading from P2 card from camera
OK…ANOTHER question. I got to play with this camera for about a week (my producer owns it, I am only the editor) and filming my kids playing and such…I now want to load this footage into my computer. I have followed the instructions laid out in the manual…connected the firewire cable…tried using the Disk Utility to mount the card…but nothing.
My producer picks this up tomorrow…and I want this off before he gets it.
Help a poor Cow leader out?

Are you trying to import into FCP? Do you have 5.04?
Are you trying to use the camera as a card reader?
If so, you need to put the hvx into playback mode and then hold the toggle button for about 3 secs. The camera will switch into PC Dub mode.
You can then use P2 import from FCP.

ah-HA!
The manual doesn’t say to do this. Why the HECK NOT?
Thank you Arthur.

Ahhh…nevermind. The manual DOES say this. I was just on the wrong page.
Helps to be on the page that says “Copying from the P2 cards to the hard disk.”
Sheesh.

Now Shane, this wouldn’t be an issue with tape based footage. 🙂

Does this method keep all the MXF Meta data intact?

If you mean timecode, then yes. If you import again and again you will get the same code and clip name.
