P2 and Leopard
Has anyone else had import problems with FCP, P2 and Leopard? When I import clips, if they are longer than 12 mins, FCP breaks them down into 00:12:22:12 sections. I have reverted back to Tiger and the problem has resolved, but does anyone have a solution other than Tiger? My FCP version is 5.1.4. Would I need the upgrade to 6 to be compatible with Leopard?

That’d be a good start. You need FCP v6.0.2 to be fully compatible with Leopard.

As I am importing now, I am back on Tiger. I have not had any problems with P2 until now. The clips show up in FCP broken up into 00:12:22:12 sections, but on the HVX they show up as one solid piece. Any clue why?

The drive you are importing them to…how is it formatted? Fat32? MacOS Extended?

I don’t know. How can you tell? In the past I have used a LaCie and a G-Tech, I just bought a Western Digital. This project I am having trouble with is the 1st project I have used this WD drive with. Could the drive be the problem? How would I go about correcting the drive?

When you buy hard drives…most likely they are pre-formatted in a PC format…that being the dominant computer type…Windows. The most common PC format is FAT32…and this has a 2-4GB file size limit.
When you buy a drive, it is best to reformat it using the Disk Utility…format it as MacOS Extended.
You can tell what the format is by clicking once on the drive and typing Apple-I or going to the File Menu and selecting GET INFO.

It is MacOS Extended. The clips showed up the same way when I tried importing on another drive as well.

Final Cut 5 is not approved for Leopard.

FCP 5 worked fine with Leopard, it was the P2 that had the issue.

Well, it didn’t work fine as you are finding out. It might run, it might edit, but every feature that is within FCP5 might not work properly with Leopard. You seem to be separating P2 and FCP when they are actually now integrated. that’s why I said it’s not supported, not that it won’t work at all.
You did download the latest P2 drivers from Panasonic, no?
