The lastclip.txt is only needed if you have clips spanning 2 cards. You can always join the two clips together in editing.

I shoot w/ the Firestore and you still need to have the Lastclip text file to read the P2 format . . . and also, I’ve heard that each Lastclip.txt file is NOT unique . . . it’s the same file, so you can copy one and place it in w/ your P2 formated file structure, making sure it’s in the right place.

I just did a test, you do not need LASTCLIP.txt to import P2 into FCP.
The LASTCLIP.txt is unique to each P2 card you shoot.
Open up some LASTCLIP.txt and you will see it
does have the clip number of the lastclip in
your video folder contained in the CONTENTS folder. -
“. . and also, I’ve heard that each Lastclip.txt file is NOT unique . . . ”
That’s NOT CORRECT. It’s a text file – just open it up and look at it and you’ll see they’re different.
They are also used to link spanned clips, which they could not do if they were all the same.
