P2 upside down
Okay, this is an odd one. I’m importing P2 footage but all of the shots on the P2 Store are upside down. Anyone know what I can do short of flipping every shot in the timeline?

Sounds like they shot with a redrock 35mm lens adapter or similiar. Unfortunately, that’s the way it’s recorded. You need to flip every shot.

It was mostly likely shot with the redrock lens adaptor. I’ve tried to figure out a way to use QuickTime to just read the frames upside down, but I couldn’t get it to stay upside down in FCP.
You could edit with your monitor upside down 🙂

This kinda reminds me of the .tif file format bug that makes imported sequences sometimes show as upside down.

What I do is drop all clips into a timeline , add flip filter to one, set to vert and hor, copy clip. select all other clips, paste attributes for filters. drag all those new clips to a bin and delete the originals. then you can edit as if they were never flipped. (though the thumbnails are still flipped)

And you’re editing in preview mode (green line).

Not on a MacPro (3Ghz), at least with my experience. No green bar.

Turn your deck upside down and re-import.

I have never worked with P2 footage, so maybe the following won’t work with P2, but with a generic QT file, you can use QTPRO to turn the clip upside down, save the change, then import/reimport to FCP. Oddly enough, the clip appears to be not upside down when viewed from the browser, but once in the timeline, it IS upside down!
Hope this helps!
