  • Thanks David.
    I’m going to see how this goes.
    Let ya know.

  • I apologize. Yes there is timecode on everything. The first tape has Hr 1, and so on. The footage is shot on film and transferred to HDCam tapes. That’s why the audio is not on the tapes right away. We would like to get all the footage that comes back from the transfer house to the editor right away, instead of waiting to put sync on the tapes.

    Hey Maya,

    Oddly enough this problem has been eating at me for awhile. After I read your post I tried something. I transferred that file to a new hard drive and hooked it up to my Desktop. (Before I was on the road w/a G4 powerbook laptop, and a Lacie rugged hard drive). When I tried importing and adding selection to Queue IT WORKED. But. the first clip in that folder did not work. It had a stop sign with a explanation mark in the middle of it. The Final Cut viewer said that clip was unsupported. So I’m guessing is that that clip messed things up enough.

    Hopefully this helps you out.

  • Hey Jeremy,
    I have to go off-line for the day.
    I was able to view the clips in that software. Now I just need to get those clips into Final Cut to be able to edit. I’ll play with the software tonight to see what I can do.
    Thanks for all your time.

    By the way you’re not a FIB as they say up here.

  • Nice…. I can view them in the Management Software. So do you just put them into the Capture Scratch somehow, or what’s the process now.
    Thanks again. At least I can view them now.

  • That’s funny. My Uncle has NONFIB on his license’s plate. He’s from Wisco and lives in Bloomington.
    So I’m hitting the “Download” for Mac in the “P2 Contents Management Software”
    Then it takes me to the DVCPRO “Download”
    or AVC-I “Download”
    or DPX “Download”
    I tried the DPX one that you said I didn’t need. Am I in the write area?

  • No problem what so ever on the questions. I have the footage on a rugged Lacie, and a G Raid3.
    I’m trying to download P2CMS. I’m not sure if I have the drivers that I need to install it. Still trying to get it straight.

  • I installed the P2CMS Plug-in DPX Converter Plug-in. Not sure where to go from there. Sorry if I’m not familiar with this plug-ins. I really haven’t dealt with many plug-in’s.
    If you live in Wisconsin or Colorado I’ll bring some beers over for you extended time and info.

  • Okay. So you have a folder named North2 (underscores are okay, by the way) and inside that folder you have a folder named “CONTENTS” all caps and a last clip.txt folder, right?

    Inside the CONTENTS folder you should have AUDIO, CLIP, ICON, PROXY, VIDEO and VOICE.

    Correct? YES

    Then you should have files within the AUDIO, VIDEO, CLIP and ICON folders.

    Correct? YES

    If so, get info on the CONTENTS folder and tell me how big it is. 13.73 Gigs

    There is info in every folder as well.

  • The folder name is “Contents” (which is what the P2 names the folder). I never change that folder name. I make another folder when I Import from the camera. I also tried renaming the folder from North_2 to North2. So there was no funny characters.
