importing P2
So we are starting a massive P2 project with at least a terabyte if not more than that of P2 footage.
We have two FCP bays, one has a black magic card, one doesn’t. The one that doesn’t imports the P2 material just fine. But with the one that has that black magic card you go into log and transfer, select the folder and nothing happens! Any ideas? Is there a driver for black magic we need? A plug in? A setting?
The footage is DVCPRO HD 720p 60i. We have installed what we think is the latest driver from Panasonic (some one some where said we should), we installed something called ‘P2CMSInstaller13’ which an editor in house thought would do the trick. We ran FCP rescue, and reset the PR ram. What else??? Thanks!
The Computer is a 2 x 3 GHZ dual core Intel Xeon, running 10.4.11 with 6 GBS of memory. We’re on FCP 6.0.4

Does that bay have FX Factory installed? 1.0 and 2.0…and their demos…interfere with P2 Import. Remove them, or update them to 2.0.1 and that should fix the problem.

My sincere appreciation. That’s exactly what it was. There had been a FX Factory demo loaded years ago before I worked here and it even had an uninstall feature.
Again, many thanks.

There is no such thing as 720p 60i. If it’s 720, it can only be progressive. If it’s interlaced, it can’t be 720. It sounds like you’ve created some sort of custom setup, & that could be part of your problem.
