P2 Import to FCP 5.1.2 ERRORS

[Darenu]

We have two:
G6TC00476R
G6TC00454R

The troublesome clips come from either camera. They import fine in P2 Log or 5.1.1, and play fine in the 5.1.2 P2 Import player, but won’t import.

Same problem here, shooting DVCPRO-50, running final cut 5.1.2, QT 7.1.3. the clip looks fine in the P2 import viewer, but after adding the clip to queue, over half of the clips result in an error message, and the QT produced is 1 second in length (regardless of the clip size)…

[Rustyrik]

Yes, this is definitely frustrating. Unfortunately I am going to have to reinstall Final Cut Studio and stop at 5.1 until this is fixed. Jan, if you read this, is there any progress on this with Panasonic or Apple? Thanks, Rik

RustyRik,

If you could you contact me directly I will set up a server for you to upload the files for Apple to test.

Thanks.

Hello Steve,
I’m out on a job now, but I will be back by next week to send you something for testing.
Thanks,

Hi,
You are not alone … PowerMac with X.4.7 and MacBookPro with x.4.8 , both QT 7.1.3 and FCP 5.1.2 camera is D6TC00071 R but import from camera direct does not give me a problem (as yet) … only when
I import from my Firestore FS 100 drive!

A guy in Belgium with big headaches right now !

Hi There – I might have a workaround…

I was having the very same issue using my FS-100 with FCP 5.1.2 and the new QT. I shot 31 clips in 720/24p. All imported fine except one. Duration 2:20. The Import window in FCP gave me the stop sign of death and the clip title had (Spanned) next to the file name. No matter how many times I tried to import it, it failed. However, I have access to a MacBook Pro with a copy of FCP 5.1 on it. Connected the drive, opened the old import window and imported my clip no problem. Burnt to a dvd and carried it into my edit in 5.1.2.

That was my experience. Not a fix but at least it worked for today. Come on Apple and Focus! Lets get this fixed!

HI,

I have the same problem with FCP 5.1.2 nd QT 7.1.3 – FCP only likes clips that are over 21 seconds long! I was shooting on an HVX 202 (PAL version) and recording on 2 Firestores, in DVCPROHD 1080/50i.

I’m hoping that P2 log will solve the problem – but for some reason my credit card payment keeps getting rejected!!!

Anyone with any fixes for FCP???

Same problem here. But it only happens with footage from a firestore fs-100 unit, the cards works ok. Doesn
