Nice thread!
I am only a Freshman in college (Western Kentucky University) my high school in Tennessee had a video production program. You could take 5 classes over your 4 year time at the school. All the other county schools had the same program as well. I started as freshman after having been in involved with my church helping to run sound and set up audio/visual equipment from week to week. I taught myself to edit in Final Cut Pro as a freshman, and landed my first job/internship at local government and educational access station as sophomore. While working there I did a lot of freelance gigs around town running sound and lighting for dance recitals and theatrical performances. As a junior in high school I won my first award for filmmaking at the statewide SkillsUSA video production competition. Later that year I won two High School Mid-South Regional Emmys (one for writing and the other for best documentary). As a senior I won another SkillsUSA video production competition and competed in DECA in the public relations contest finishing 11th in the nation out of 160 something students. I also produced, wrote, and edited my own half hour football coach’s show. That aired weekly on local cable.
All that to say the video production has grown rapidly with pro-sumer level equipment becoming much more affordable. My school had 6 Final Cut stations as well 4 Panasonic DVX-100bs and a couple Sony XL2s. There are tons of competitions offered by local, state and national committees for students. The Emmys hold a high school regional in each market and all winners advanced to a national competition with the “head judge” being AV Westin. Its really quite remarkable all the opportunities available for students.
Now days at WKU I am 1 of 5 student producers working to produce a weekly sportscast. I also have a scholarship shooting and editing highlights for our football team. Both have been a great experience.
To any high schoolers reading this forum, my advice to you is to work. Work everyday at honing your skills. Work to get your name out into the community. It will all pay off some day, I promise!

Ok, I went and renamed 95% of the folders attached to the project. The ones I didnt contain graphics and music, no actual P2 clips. My thought now is to go through and remove all unsed media from the project, to make the project as small as possible. Since I’m working with an entire football season, I was also thinking about going through and deleting each game one at a time to see if there was one particular game that was causing the problem. I’m going to start on that now, I’ll be checking back regulary. Thanks for the help, it is very much apprecialted!

I tried everything you suggested and the project still does not open. All my drives have 20+% free space. The only thing I can think of doing is re-image the computer. HELP ME!!!

I tired messing with the LASTCLIP and had no luck. It look as if I am SOL.

That creates another problem for me. All the files are in the office in Kentucky, while I am in Tennessee for Christmas break. I am beginning to think I am not going to be able to work with these clips until I make a trip back to campus, and capture the clips…what I should have done the first time.
Is there not a way to manipulate the files, to where FCP will recognize them as an actual P2 card?
Thanks,
