Hey Joe,
Good to read through the white paper. I also own a HPX-3000 and like it a lot.
To archive my P2 files, I bought a Quantum LTO-3 drive which works great. It’s better than Bluray or using hard drives as each tape holds 400G of material (or 800G compressed) and has a 30 year lifespan. -
When I spoke with someone at AbelCine (who is working directly with Panasonic) – he said the codec plug in for ACV-Intra Final Cut would be released either late this week or early next. Looking forward to it as I’m tired of running the SDI out of the camera and would like to use the P2 cards.

Just found out that Panasonic will release the AVC Intra codec plug in for Mac by the end of next week.

Not true – I am editing it as we speak. I took it in as both ProRes422 (HQ) and DVCPro HD at 23.98 to test and it works fine. You must take it in through SDI out of the camera and go into a Kona 3 (or maybe Blackmagic card?). You obviously can’t take in the footage using the P2 cards yet.

I’ve spent all day trying to get the AVC Intra footage out of my HPX3000 into FCP2. The only method that I’ve made work (shooting at 23.98P) is to go out of the SDI port on the camera (switching the video out to VBS) and into my Kona 3 SDI port. You have to create a new set-up in the FC capture presets – setting the input to 29.97, but capturing at 23.98. I was able to take it in as anything I wanted (DVCProHD, ProRes 422, etc…) This was the only way I found to avoid having the terrible interlaced frames. I still cannot import DVCPro HD true 23.98 from the camera’s P2 cards. The images end up being 29.97 with terrible looking pulldown and interlacing as I move through it frame by frame. I’m new to Panasonic having shot mostly with the Sony Cinealta F900 at 23.98 in which I never encountered problems when importing to Final Cut. I really hope Panasonic and Apple work this out to create an easy workflow. If anyone has some ideas how to input DVCPro HD 23.98 from P2 and get clips that are true 23.98 and not 29.97 inside Final Cut, I’d love to know how. No one seems to know at AbelCine or at Panasonic either. Thanks.

Thanks Jeremy – that fixed it.
