I made it! But I had to reinstall Avid. I think a piece of software was missing … Now I am able to see the P2 AMA clips

The P2 ‘clips to bin’ still doesn’t work (same ‘incompatibility message) so, as a friend suggested, I am consolidating the clips – currently linked via AMA – on my hard drive. I selected all the clips I wish to consolidate, and chose “Clip” > “Consolidate/Transcode” and consolidate as I would with any piece of media.

The thing I don’t understand is why this new version of Avid features a function (legacy P2 import) that in practice doesn’t work because it is incompatible with the AMA feature ….

Thanks for your reply Pat:
I installed both the P2 AMA plugin and the MXF plugin but when I try to AMA my P2 cards media appears OFFLINE, and when I check the legacy P2 import, quit Avid and restart, same thing happens.

I also checked on the console, here’s what it says:

MSP_MXF Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 1.7
AS-02 Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 1.0
PanasonicP2 MVP_MSP Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 2.5
QuickTime Plug-In Avid Technology, Inc. 1.2

Does it sound right?

Should I uninstall and reinstall?

Have a great weekend.

Tried but same result (I even restarted the application), and I am slowly getting into despair … What is it that I am doing wrong?

[Filippo Piscopo]

Let me give you the sequence of what i did:

1) I installed MC 6.5.0
2) I installed the MXF AMA Plug-in v1.7.2 Mac (latest release Aug. 31st)
3) I installed the P2 AMA v2.5.2 Mac (is that the right one?)
4) I went to the settings and set allow legacy P2 import
5) I opened a new Avid bin and selected clips to bin
6) the msg I told you about appears
7) If i try to link to AMA volume (pointing to the P2 structure before the contents folder

the media is OFFLINE.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, and the media shows Offline, but I need to CONSOLIDATE (clips to bin and media feature), not to AMA.
Any idea?
