Importing p2 material from firewire drive.

Exactly, it’s like you should put everything in a folder by a “reel name” or in this case every card download. So if you shot four cards full today, make a folder called “Card 1” or whatever and then dump the contents and text file into that. then make a folder called “card 2” and dump that card’s contents into that folder. It’s what I do and it works just fine. Maybe this will change if FCP will support native MXF instead of the quicktime wrapped files. Nabbage will tell us.

Yes, In my case not putting the .txt file in was a mistake, but, you can still import into fcp, you just have to do it 1 contents folder at a time.

Thanks for the replies.
