P2 in MC v2.6.3
I have an older version of MC on my mac and are now acquiring P2. I can use it easily on my FCP system, but want to use it on my Avid too. Looks like I have support for XDCam, but when I tried to put the files in the Mxf folder, the avid wanted to ignore or quarantine the files. Does anyone know what’s wrong or what version I might need to use P2? Many thanks.

That would be 2.7 and later (see http://www.avid.com/p2 and check the step-by-step guide). A new version of MC (3.5) has just been released (yesterday). Upgrading from 2.6 to 3.5 would cost you 395 USD on the Avid webstore. 3.5 also features AMA, which allows for improved workflows with filebased footage.
But P2 media works fine on 2.7/2.8/3.0/3.1. Just make sure to check the step-by-step guide to fully understand the process. -
Thank you for the information. It’s almost impossible to find answers on Avid’s support website. Many thanks.

Close the application. Rename the OMFI MediaFiles folder. Create a new OMFI MediaFiles folder. Drag a few hundred files from the old folder into the new one. Launch MC, it will rebuild the database. Close MC. Move some more files into the new folder. Repeat.
