they are all seperately labeled as you said above. none of the folders have been named anything differently. so within your example of Card 1, the only folder is indeed labeled CONTENTS along with the LASTCLIP.TXT file. None of these folders were renamed or moved or anything like that. So it is the exact same for Card 4 or Card 5. It is as if they are just from 5 independant shoots. yet we can only import from the fifth one.
It seems logical to just think that the P2 card was corrupt, but why would the fifth and final card be okay and the first four are bad?
so bizzarre. I’ve looked everywhere and can’t seem to find any solution or mention of this elsewhere. but I really do appreciate any and all suggestions!

I’m not all that familiar with how the folders are set up. When they shot the footage, they used two different cards. While one card was shooting, they were downloading the footage onto an external drive (that is why we have five different folders with content from each dump).
We’ve done this in the past without any issues. Seems like everything SHOULD be there. The file size is large as if all media is actually there – we just can’t import it. All five folders have the lastclip.txt file.
I’m thinking that it might just be that the P2 card itself is corrupted?

I’ve tried that. Set it to 29.97 in the custom settings. I’ll get anything BUT that when I actually bring it into FCP. Item properties for the clip in FCP show it as 25 fps, sometimes 8 fps but never 29.97.
as a work around, I’ve been successful bringing the export from keynote into after effects, then rendering it out for the settings I need in FCP. kind of a backwards approach, but at least I can actually get something done.
interestingly enough, the keynote export that shows up as 25 fps in FCP shows up as 30 fps in After Effects. go figure.

thanks for the tips, I REALLY appreciate it!

cool yeah, that is basically it. or enough to help me get through this. yeah, I wanted to sit the camera in the middle of it and have the images rotate around the camera (or the camera rotates) and eventually zoom in and out of various images. no, no realistic looking roulette wheel.
thanks for the tutorial link!

that’s kinda what I’m thinking… I’ve tried all of these suggestions but nothing has solved it. I just wonder why I didn’t notice this earlier. I’m pretty sure I would have noticed this.

Yep, I’m looking at this on a broadcast monitor. Weird thing is, once this stuff has been opened up and looked at on another editing system in house, they now have the same issue… almost as if there is some sort of corrupt file or virus. Very strange.
