reconnecting p2 footage fcp 6
Hey guys,
I used log and transfer and got all my P2 media into FCP 6. I did my edit and then when I opened FCP next time it said that a file had moved. Well, I went and watched Shane’s P2 workflow video on creativecow and saw that he just right clicked on the media that needed to be reconnected and went down to batch capture and it all worked like a charm. Well, I could not get it to work. Then to worsen the matter, I deleted another file like Shane does in the demo and tried to reconnect that one using Batch Capture and once again- nothing. Now I have various clips that all need to be reconnected. When I right click and try and use Batch Capture it is giving me a dialog box that discusses a lack of deck, and I am not sure why I am getting a “deck” warning with P2 associated files. Please help- anyone!!! -

Odd…are you sure you are seleting P2 media? I bet you are, just asking. I’ll wager you are the guy who posted the same question on the Apple forums.
Now…for the BATCH CAPTURE to work, you need the drive with your P2 media attached to the computer, so that FCP can reimport the footage. BUT…is the footage really gone? Have you tried to simply reconnect the media?

embarrassed to say I figured it out. it was a two camera setup and cam2 was shooting to the firestore (not p2). after i made the post i got up from my computer, took a shower, and it hit me… anyway, thanks for your ever reliable fast response.
