Problems with importing from P2
I am trying to import footage shot on a Panasonic HVX-200 onto a P2 card. I have the proper driver, the right version of OSX and FCP 5. After clicking P2 card under import, my clips show up from the card. However, when I click import it gives me an error message saying the following:
“One or more P2 clips failed to import; probable incomplete or corrupt clips.”
But when I tried this same card, on a friends computer, it imported perfectly fine. So far this is what I have tried. Reinstalling FCP 5 and deleting the preference files. Has anyone heard about having this problem or know anything that I could do.
Thanks

And what versions of those do you have? What about quicktime? What version is that?

Here’s the tutorial on how to do it:
But Jeremy has it. You need FCP 5.0.4 and QT 7.0.3 in order to do this. Anything less a nd it won’t work.

Exact same error warning on a friends set up. We were testing work flow for in the field with same camera.
Had all the right versions of everything, doing the right things.
Worked fine direct import from cards into FC, and on 3 of the 5 external drives (1 -FireStore 100, 1 small buss powered drive, one 250 gig drive) we transfered the P2 cards content to and then tried to import from.
But kept getting that same warning after copying the P2 card content to a couple of OWC external FW drives. Tested thouroughly, even trying a hand full of my drives—same thing worked great except for the OWC 250 gig USB/FW400/FW800 drives. Which he returned.
All his stuff was brand new. Of course, no one had heard of this before. Tried everything, re-formatting, journaling on-journaling off, ignore ownerships—nothing would get those OWC’s to work.
For what it’s worth.
GoOd luck,

Did you remember to copy the file named LASTCLIP.TXT? Cause if you didn’t, it won’t work.

Yes. Or it wouldn’t have worked on the other drives.
