  • No import P2 option in trial version? Or am I missing something?

    Posted by Justin Ferar on December 2, 2011 at 7:56 am

    Just downloaded MC6 and installed the trial. I was under the impression that it was fully functional.

    Under the “file” menu there is no “import P2” option. What am I missing?

    You don’t import that way anymore. Use the LINK TO AMA VOLUME option. Then consolidate.

    Was there any “import p2” option in MC4 and up? I don’t remember there being one. Yes just AMA it.

    As others mention, Import P2 was replaced with AMA. However, if you need the ‘old’ way, just open your project, open AMA settings, and disable AMA. This should bring Import P2 back in the File menu.

    Thanks for the replies…

    I tried the AMA way and it still came up with errors.

    It was then that I found out that one must install the Avid MXF plugin and then install the P2 plugin.

    Total Avid newbie here!

    Now that I have the P2 files in I can see something odd/wrong with the output image from the Black Magic Intensity card. It looks as though it is being output at half resolution : (

    Weird!

    Okay, just figured out that it was half res, just needed to toggle the video quality button.

    So I installed the plugins backwards and it’s not working. My fault. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thanks.
