P2CMS – P2 Viewer for the Mac & Win now available

[Ken Summerall]

My point exactly. I had just updated everything when I saw the original post. I was so excited to see this finally available for Mac but alas it was only available for a few moments. Hopefully, Panasonic will get cracking and get it fixed…FAST!

Well, given their record of how long it took them to get a P2 Reader for the Mac (OVER two years..more!) I don’t know how fast they will get “crackin’.” The P2 division of Panasonic failed to see how big of a market this format would be on the Mac, so they didn’t even have plans to design this in the first place. Now to update that for QT 7.2 (which is STILL buggy and I REFUSE to load it) might take them a month…or two.

Could it be that Panasonic and Apple are direct competators, they both build laptops?
Could it be that Panasonic is pissed at Apple for going to bed with Red?
All conjecture on my part.
Pretty happy with recent items such as the dual adaptor and 16G cards.

You need to be running the latest version of OS X and QT. And yes MXF is audio or video and needs to be merged manually in FCP. Thus this is a bit more complex than log and transfer.

i have 10.4.9 and quicktime 7.6.1, because later versions are buggy.

P2CMS is running, but the drag and drop function doesnt work.

do you think it has something to do with 10.4.10 ?

I am on 10.4.10 and 7.1.6 and it works for me. FCP 5.1.4. I don’t think it’s really all that great though, hand syncing clips is not for me. I do get a warning saying this file is not optimized for FInal Cut Pro, though, when I import it.

Does anyone else find this software weird? great for backup purposes, but the ingest feature creates a ton of more files on your machine and logging is really slow.

Glad it’s free though.

I just downloaded this and got only a weird code looking file. Am I doing something wrong? Is this viewer absolutely neccessary tin order to see your FS-100 footage?

Did you download the appropriate Mac or windows version?
