    Hello Everyone,

    Here’s the deal. I shot off of P2 cards. I dumped the ‘video’ and ‘audio’ folders only onto my hard drive. If Shane Ross is reading this, I just watched your video on P2 work flow. Wished I would’ve watched a couple days ago. So, because I have just those 2 folders, can I make it work without the other stuff in the ‘contents’ folder.

    Thanks ahead of time!!

    -Alex

    Nope…sorry. Even if you make those other folders, it won’t work. There are files in those other folders that FCP looks at as part of those clips.

    Now your only options are third party….Calibrated, MXF4MAC, raylight….

    Use MXF4mac (pay) to read the MXF files then use Atomic Fusion (free) to send the files over to FCP connected and ready to go.
