Transfer p2 footage for online.
Hi I’m working on a project that was shot on a panasonic hvx200 using p2 cards. It’s about 90 minutes in length and split up into 5 reels/sequences.
I’ve tried using media manager to copy over to a seperate drive just the files I need from the each of the sequences (not checking the master clips outside selection option. When I open the project and try to relink my reels I keep getting errors that my file attribute’s mismatch– Media Start and End.
I’ve tried continuing on that prompt and clicking connect in the reconnct window and I get an error that says:
“File name does not have proper content to reconnect to (clipname) at time 1:13:49:16 in sequence PICLock. Click on “ok” to make this item independent and go to the next clip or “Cancel” to skip all clips from this file.Any thoughts from anyone? Is there a better way of making a media copy of p2 media for an onlining situation?
FCStudio 2 all apps updated to .0.2 versions.
Thanks.

Did you have the Media Manager set to make a NEW project with this sequence and footage? Did you set it to media manage the footage to another drive? That would be the way to go. It seems like the newly managed sequence is trying to connect to the old unmanaged files.

not sure if that is exactly hat you are asking for, but i saw something about a workflow to log and ‘capture’ from a p2 card via

Yes
Did you set it to media manage the footage to another drive?
YesI ran media manager again making sure a new project was made from my sequences etc. I open the project and everything is offline. I reconnect media and find the appropriate directory and it then it prompts me that the media start/end times are not correct. Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Are you sure that you are trying to connect to the media managed footage, and not the originals? This is why I manage to a second drive. Or manage the footage to the desktop, easy to find.

I wish it was that. After my files transfer I am unmounting the drives that the footage was managed from. I open the new project that the Media Manage made and thats where I have to reconnect.
I’m currently trying one more time this time i’ve broken down each reel as seperate video track and audio track sequences (doing only a small test) to see if the problems lies in one area or another.
Could it be a problem with clip renaming? If this time doesn’t work out could using “clip name” instead of “file name” in the media manage fix this?
Thanks

Somehow this problem was fixed. Here is what I did.
Made a new project, copied my reels into it.
Broke each reel into a video and audio only version (duplicating is your friend).
From here I media Manage each of my prepared sequences via copy media, create new project.
When it’s done FCP opens the new project and magically there is 1 seqence and a bin which has all of the managed Master Clips. (it wasn’t doing this before).
I checked the media and it’s all on the correct drive linked and ready for grading in color….well after some prep that is… I’m not complaining I promise:)!
