Activity Forums Panasonic Cameras Format P2 on laptop

  • Format P2 on laptop

    Sorry if this has been covered. I did a search and couldn’t turn up the answer.

    I want to format P2 cards on the laptop instead of in the camera (if the camera is still rolling on the next card).

    Current workflow:
    1) Copy over card contents to FW drive
    2) L&T copied folder into FCP
    3) Format card in HVX.

    A link to a P2 utility turned up a dead-end on the Panasonic site.
    Just looking for the forum’s advice on the best workflow, way to format P2 card on laptop before returning card to the camera operator.
    Thanks

    On a Mac?

    If so, download the mac drivers and you will find an application in there called P2 Formatter.
