  • HVX 200 compatible with FCP 4.5

    Hi,

    A potential client shot with a Panasonic HVX200 HD (using 720p). The P2 cards have been dumped to a hard drive. He says the files are now Quick Time files. Will FCP 4.5 be able to import and work with this footage? Everything I’ve read says that P2 support started with FCP 5.0.4, but it is unclear if that is just for direct import from the camera or not.

    Thanks.

    I don’t have 4.5 loaded so I can’t test, but here is my best guess:

    If the P2 files were copied to a hard drive (not imported via a more recent version of FCP) then you will be out of luck with FCP 4.5.

    If the P2 files were imported with a later version of FCP, you should be able to import the resultant files to FCP 4.5 as FCP 4.5 does support DVCPro HD.

    Best,
