Shane,

Herewith the top section of the report. I’m not sure I should post the whole report it here as it is enormous,

Good enough. Got any h.264 media in this cut?

Suspected Cause:
This crash was likely caused by MPEG media (or MPEG-derived media such as XDCAM, HDV or H.264) in the timeline. This is one of many reasons why MPEG media is not recommended for editing.

Suggested Actions:
* Transcode any HDV, MPEG-2, XDCAM or other long-GOP media into an editing-friendly format such as ProRes or Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC).

Relevant Line:
0 QuickTimeH264.scalar 0x163202b1 JVTCompEncodeFrame + 36944

Shane,

COW is the best unofficial ‘customer support’ going …! Thanks!

I have a timeline with the following footage:

3 x camera rolls (P2)
3 x Chroma Key backgrounds (.mov)
Assorted GFX .pngs
Using Boris FX Chroma Key Studio

I downloaded the driver file linked from your ‘P2 to FCP’ tutorial but the first time I loaded it, the system said that it hadn’t installed correctly. I rebooted the machine and the second time there were no issues.

Also, I downloaded the ‘preference manager’ and have deleted my prefs, yet still FCP crashed.

On the 16H Mac Pro, the RAID drive is the scratch drive so I will now empty that and try again. I completed the edit on an iMac last night.

Again, many thanks.

Going back over Shane’s tutorial, here’s something odd:

– copy all files (Contents and lastclip.txt) onto separate drive
– open FCP and make bin/logging bin (named as same)
– edit > import > Panasonic P2

This is where the sequence breaks as my ‘ edit > import > ‘ does not contain a Panasonic P2 option. However, I can import the files using ‘edit > log and transfer‘ as I just point it towards the folder on my desktop.

Is this telling me that FCP doesn’t have the right driver to support P2?

I have a AG-HPG20 reader/recorder. One card was recorded in the machine using the SDI route and has 2 tracks of audio, whereas the other card was recorded in a camera, has 4 tracks of audio and was labeled ‘spanned reel‘.

Using ‘log and transfer ‘ the footage plays well enough in the timeline but a pro’s eye scanning over the above info should pick out any obvious problems … and hopefully, the last?

YOu might be looking at my ORIGINAL P2 workflow tutorial, that I did when the option first came out. That is only for FCP 5.0 and 5.1. My updated tutorial works with FCP 6 and partially with 7. 7 has new features with naming…

Anyway, here is tutorial for FCP 6.
