  • How to import P2 data from external hard drive?

    Posted by Arthur Luhn on April 19, 2007 at 7:19 pm

    I have purchased a lacie 500GB external hard drive to keep all my backup P2 data on it (imported through the AJ-PCD20). Now the question here is how do I import from the hard drive into FCP? I tried to import from the hard drive as “file” but that “does not compute” to quote Spock.

    Advice appreciated.

    Thanks..

    Yes I figured it out, I went Import>Panasonic P2>folders, the icon in the uppermost left corner of the P2 viewer.

    The only other concern I have is that when I went back to reading from a P2 card, the files I retrieved from the backup ext. hard drive were still in the P2 Viewer and the content of the new P2 card was dumped on top of that, so there’s about 30 clips in the list- should that be a concern? I don’t want it to grow up to a list of 500 clips when I start backing up the cards.

    Thanks..

    If you want to remove those files, you simply select them and hit the eject button up top.
