Importing P2s
Hello all,
Wondering If anyone has had this problem. I try to import a P2 file into FCP from my FS-100 drive and an error message comes up saying “failed to import. Problably incomplete or corrupt clips.” Anybody know what I did wrong? I’m shooting with the hvx in 1080 60i. My time line is set to the same format and before I connect the fs-100 to my computer I make sure I select “organize p2.” When I try to import it I can actually see the clip listed. But when I select import I get the message. ???
Thanks so much for your help. -

I’ve had many problems with my firestore and no longer trust it to do anything properly. So I would copy the MXF files to another hard drive first then try Log and Import again.

Yeah we tried that. It comes up with the same error.
Thanks though. What kind of problems have you had? -
[mentalese] “What kind of problems have you had?
“Our Firestore has been crashing or locking up in the middle of recording. Either hand held or just sitting on a tripod shooting an interview, it just randomly stops recording. Then we have to pull off the battery to power it down and once it restarts we then have to reset all the settings. Needless to say my crews no longer have confidence in the Firestore and refuse to use it.

Try repairing the clips in the Firestore menu and reimporting. Just curious, did you only shoot 1080i on your firestore? Did you match your exact FS-100 settings with the 1080i settings on the HVX??

Yes I shot in 1080 on the hvx and the firestore was set to dvcprohd. Can you set the fs-100 to 1080? I didnt see it in the manual. and yes I have tried the repair clip and reimport. It gives the same error message.
Thanks
