P2 troubles
Hello, I know a lot of these questions have already been asked but i can’t seem to find a similar situation to what i’m encountering.
I have copied both CONTENTS and last txt file straight from my HVX 203 Panasonic onto my hardrive (Macbook pro) into designated folders. When i want to log and transfer in my FCP 6, I get/see the footage, i can choose in and out points…everything looks fine. Only when I drag or add tot the qeue, it doesn’t actually transfer. After a while processing it says (when i scroll on the clip ‘ERROR, NO DATA’.
What’s even more strange tot me, is that I can actually import the clips into FCP and work with them (even export). The problem of course is that that way the clips are divided in seperate image and sound files.Anyone have a possible solution or reason for this? Would be very helpful.
thanx,
Nils

When working with P2 footage, I wouldn’t recommend copying any folders other than the root folder. Once you start messing around with the sub-folders, your asking for trouble. But even dragging and dropping your root folder to offload your P2 footage can be risky – works fine 99.9% of the time, but you don’t want to be that 0.01%. I recommend using P2CMS (free download from Panasonic: https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/desk/e/download.htm). It offloads your P2 cards, verifying the contents in the process.

Try this.
Open up Log & Transfer. Open up the Preferences window.It’s on the upper right portion of the import window. Make sure that the “Remove Advanced Pulldown and Duplicate Frames” box is checked. Now, try to import your clips. This usually works.

My god, you were right. Although it was already checked when I opened the window. Unchecking and checking it again apparently did the trick. Thank you so much for your help. Now I just might make those deadlines after all. 😉
much regards,
Nils
