LOST LASTCLIP.TXT (aka can’t believe it happened to me)
YUP – it’s happened…
Somehow, someway, the lastclip.txt got separated from the contents of one of my reels.
Am using: FCP 5.1.2, MacBookPro and P2 Genie.
Anyways I am trying to remarry them so I can import them.
Tried rebuilding .txt using TextEdit using the three line method:
Line one: the last modified clip (in my case 0004FF)
Line two: 1.0
Line three: number of clips + 1 (in my case 5)But the result I am always getting is:
__________ (the folder I’m trying to import) has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches the supported media.
Don’t know what this means – or what I’m doing wrong.
Everything seems in order…….
Any thoughts?
Thanks

You don’t need it REALLY to import. Try…I have had success in doing so without it a few times.

If it turns out that for whatever reason you just can’t import it no matter what, you can try P2 Log Pro from Imagine Software; it has P2 Repair features for situations exactly like this.

Hi
Although aware of the importance of the lastclip.txt, it slipped my mind when shooting on HVX-200 recently. I backed off my footage on the P2 onto a Sonnet Fusion F2 via my MacBook Pro, using Panasonic’s P2CMS and now when I come to use the footage, there isn’t a lastclip.txt file in any of the folders I created on the hard drives. Consequently, I can’t import into Final Cut Pro 6.
Can anyone throw any light on what I’ve done wrong?
Thanks
