Import problems with P2 cards and FCP
To Creative Cow users:
Thank you in advance for your help.
I have been using the Panasonic HVX with p2 cards for a while without problems.
Recently however, I began having difficulty digitizing the footage from the cards into FCP (I edit primarily with FCP). Note: I have the must updated driver for the Dual Card Reader.
Problem 1: I used the P2 Duel Card reader. It opened up fine on my desktop. I copied over the contents of the card onto a harddrive. I then opened up FCP and used Log and Transfer. The first time, it automatically filled out the information for the P2 card volume that was plugged into the computer with the Dual Card reader. However, it had an error in the digitizing process and didn’t finish. Ever since then, FCP will does not ‘see’ the Volume. I even tried linking it back to the volumes that had been copied onto a different drive. It wouldn’t see those, leaving me with the P2 volumes, but unable to open them up/convert them to usable/editable files.
Problem 2: So I tried a different approach. I didn’t want to use the Dual Card reader again. So I hooked up the camera to the system via firewire. This time, the camera won’t show up on the desktop (with that configuration) like it normally would/has done for me in the past. So again, I am unable to access the files on the cards.
I am not sure whether this is a problem with the card reader, the cards themselves, the camera, FCP, or my computer. I am using an older 17in macbook pro. Any thoughts, advice, direction would be greatly appreciated!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Magee -

Until recently imported files from P2 through the log and transfer.
Now that I have FCS 6.0.5 open the log and transfer, select the folder NO NAME, but it does not matter any files!
Can someone help me?
Thank you. -
Inside Log and Transfer window, go to your pull down menu (top center of the Log and Transfer window)… go to Preferences… and make sure you unclick the Remove Advance Pulldown and Duplicate Frames.
Only then you can import… good luck…
