P2 Contents Folder will not Import (open) in FCP

[Anthony Wilhelms]

I installed the P2CMS Plug-in DPX Converter Plug-in. Not sure where to go from there. Sorry if I’m not familiar with this plug-ins. I really haven’t dealt with many plug-in’s.
If you live in Wisconsin or Colorado I’ll bring some beers over for you extended time and info.

No problem what so ever on the questions. I have the footage on a rugged Lacie, and a G Raid3.
I’m trying to download P2CMS. I’m not sure if I have the drivers that I need to install it. Still trying to get it straight.

Just south. I am what you might call a FIB.

Chicago is my home.

You don’t need that, you need the P2CMS application. On the link I sent you, simply click the download for mac option. Install and then look in your Applications folder.

That’s funny. My Uncle has NONFIB on his license’s plate. He’s from Wisco and lives in Bloomington.
So I’m hitting the “Download” for Mac in the “P2 Contents Management Software”
Then it takes me to the DVCPRO “Download”
or AVC-I “Download”
or DPX “Download”
I tried the DPX one that you said I didn’t need. Am I in the write area?

[Jeremy Garchow]

Yes. Download the one that says P2 Contents Management Software for Mac Ver 1.4.4.

You will go to another license agreement, accept and download.

Nice…. I can view them in the Management Software. So do you just put them into the Capture Scratch somehow, or what’s the process now.
Thanks again. At least I can view them now.

[Anthony Wilhelms]

Hey Jeremy,
I have to go off-line for the day.
I was able to view the clips in that software. Now I just need to get those clips into Final Cut to be able to edit. I’ll play with the software tonight to see what I can do.
Thanks for all your time.

By the way you’re not a FIB as they say up here.

🙂 well, the footage seems to be good. Now we just have to figure out what’s going on with FCP.

Hi,

I’ve been having the same issue and I can’t resolve this problem!
I’d imagine you have already resolved this issue and I would love
to know what the problem was with your clips.

I can see clips on P2CMS but not on Final Cut.
Is it a camera issue? a P2 issue? a DuelAdapter Issue?

[Anthony Wilhelms]

Hey Maya,

Oddly enough this problem has been eating at me for awhile. After I read your post I tried something. I transferred that file to a new hard drive and hooked it up to my Desktop. (Before I was on the road w/a G4 powerbook laptop, and a Lacie rugged hard drive). When I tried importing and adding selection to Queue IT WORKED. But. the first clip in that folder did not work. It had a stop sign with a explanation mark in the middle of it. The Final Cut viewer said that clip was unsupported. So I’m guessing is that that clip messed things up enough.

Hopefully this helps you out.
