P2 Import Messing up on some files
Can any one help me?
I am importing files using import p2. I am using the latest FCP 5.1.2. Some files are coming in just fine… some files will load or look like they are converting, but then will not appear in my project.
I then look in my capture scratch folder with all my quicktimes and there will be a quicktime file with the same name… but only 4kbts and with #FFFFFF added on the end of the title. Of course the fil does not even open. What is happening and is ther a way around this? Are these video files corrupted?

Chris,
I am having the same trouble after upgrading to 5.1.2. I don’t have enough trials yet to back this up, but on the surface it appears that only footage from one of our three HVX200 cameras is being rejected. Not all of the clips from that camera are rejected, but many are. Up to this point, we had not had one bit of trouble with P2 footage (shot on P2 cards; Firestore is a different story) importing properly into FCP, regardless of camera, for the past 11-12 months.
All of our footage files are transferred to hard drives in the field and then imported. Because the source camera in question is one of our less-used cameras, I can’t definitively trace the problem to the moment we upgraded to 5.1.2. However, I know it’s always worked in the past.
Has anyone else experienced this and figured out a reason and/or solution?
Thanks,
