“Card_002” contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media
The folder contains:

lastclip.txtThe Contents folder contains:

VideoCan anyone help me figure out why this won’t work. So frustrating.

Think there are some folders missing there. Can you get a complete output of the original P2 card to check.

From what I have read it needs to also contain proxy, clips, and voice folders.

Yup. Without those other folders FCP won’t import the footage. And since one of those folders contains data FCP uses (clip) you can’t just make the folders and hope it works.
If you can’t get the original folders off the cards…if they have been erased, then you need to look at 3rd party solutions like P2 log or Calibrated or MXF4QT.
