Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro P2 Card reader error

  • P2 Card reader error

    Posted by Dark4une on November 19, 2007 at 9:10 pm

    Good Day, I am a producer for a Govt. braodcasting channel and we are evaluating Adobe Premiere Pro as our new NLE.
    We shoot on Panasonic P2 and import via P2 card reader AJ-PCD20 but I am having a problem getting the program to recognise the P2 card reader, I have updated the reader to accept 16 gig cards but I still get an error in the Premiere saying the format is not supported, as we only have 26 days on this trial I would be nice to get some input on this problem, thank you.

    P2 support began with the 3.1 (not 3.01) update for Premiere. If you have a trial version, you may not be able to update, but try.
    I thought that transferring data from media cards to PC would be a Windows copy/paste function and not involve the NLE.

    Thanks for your response, I also found that out from reading the forums and info yesterday, I tried the copy and paste thing it also failed to recognize the MXF file.
    We want a full on test from start to finish so we can evaluate it’s performance in our production environment and see if it’s a worthwhile purchase, I contacted Adobe to see if there is a work around so far no joy.

    dark4une,
    I’ve been using the P2 cards for a month or so
    and the 3.1 version of PPro works great with P2
    data. I just copy it from the CONTENTs file from
    the P2 card to my second HD. Then just import the
    files in the VIDEO directory. PPro attaches the
    audio automatically(all 4 channels).
    After Effect doesn’t suppport P2 data yet, but
    according to Adobe it is supposed to in the next
    update. Right now, I just render an uncompressed
    file for us with AE.
    The only other slight bother is that windows
    media player doesn’t support the 960×720 PAR=1.333
    so when I play the rendered media(from AE or
    Cinema 4D) using those specs the aspect ratio is
    wrong. Viewing in PPro is just fine.

    Hope this helps… Can’t complain about the speed
    either.
