P2 import error?
Hey,
I’m importing P2 files and I have the last clip and everything looks fine, but there is one spanned clip that will not import. I have both the folders for the clip, but when I try and import I just get an ! (unknown error) Any one have this happen before? Also I can lay the clip back in the preview.
Thanks

What format is the footage shot in?
Go to the Log and transfer preferences and turn off the option to remove adv. pulldown and duplicate frames.

did you have to P2 cards in the camera, if you did you have to mount both folders at the same time.

Just to add a visual to what Jeremy suggests:
#36 – One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane’s Stock Answer #36 – “One or more clips failed to import…”
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don’t like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)…the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window…is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO…in the P2 Import window…in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO…make sure your file names aren’t too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
