P2 & Timecode, Adobe Premier CS3
Basic question…hopefully easy answer.
I can’t seem to see source timecode associated anywhere with the footage/files I just transferred from my P2 card to my edit system (Premier). This is footage of a basketball game shot on the HVX200 onto a 8G P2 card in 480i DV. I see source timecode on the thumbnails on the camera but when I transferred it to my system hard drive array, footage looks great but the only time reference is a 00:00:00:00 to the end of the clip time code; for each clip. And the clips are for the most part in order but not all of them are. I can’t even re-arrange them to be in the correct order which in itself would be such a tedious task.
When I shoot with the firestore, there is an “organize P2” procedure but I can’t seem to find one for the P2 card, if it’s even necessary. I will need to reference the source timecode for this project and at the very least put my clips in a chronological sequence. Even clicking on the top row of file names to sequnce the files doesn’t work. How do I see my camera timecode? I know it’s there somewhere, just not in my edit system.
Any help would be appreciated.

How are you importing the media?

Hi there,
I’m placing the P2 Card into the slot in my laptop, which is networked to my edit system, and when the card appears as a drive/removable media I can see the files in my P2 viewer. I then go to my Premier Pro (Axio LE) edit system and copy and paste the Contents folder and last clip file from the P2 Card to my V: (video) drive, into the project folder. Then in the Project panel in Premier, I create a bin and import the files from the Video folder. That’s it. Hope that makes sense.
No original source timecode, just a timecode that starts at 00:00:00:00 and goes to the end of the clip, for each clip. I must be missing a step somewhere.
