importing from p2 footage thats stored on my ext harddrive
does anyone know why i’d get a message saying files incomplete or possible corupt file when trying to import my mxf files from my external harddrive from footage i shot from the hvx200p. i think its because i have final cut pro5 and havent updated to version 5.0.4 or does anyone know of another reason. thanks for any help

Eben,
You definitely need to update to FCP 5.0.4. You”ll then have a Panasonic P2 selection under File > Import. From that you can select where the location of the files from the card are.
Be sure when you dump the card to a hard drive to copy the WHOLE card, not just part or the file you think you need.
I’ve been copying the entire card over then then renaming it once it is on the hard drive.

I had a similar problem. I figured out that my computer didn’t have the quicktime component in the /library/quicktime folder, even though I had FCP5 installed. This might not help, or it might be too late, but that fixed it for me.
