Be careful removing the Basic attribute, because if there were any moves or re-positioning on the clips they will be lost too.
You’ll most likely have to fix the moves anyway, but at least you know they were there.

I may be wrong, but I think it is the h264 that is doing it.
I know FCP does not like to edit h264.Steve.

The equipment they use is a switcher.

The person who calls for the shots is The Director.
The person who actually pushes the button on the switcher is The Technical Director.Sometime (depending on budget and size of the shoot) they are the same person.

For the LIFE of me I can’t get the network that I deal with to accept a tape less delivery of any kind.
We were forced to purchase an HDcam deck to deliver the show for the TIME being. (Clues to the networks name are capitalized.)

Highlight the clip or clips in the browser window.
Right click and towards the bottom there is an option to rename.
Go to that and then choose File to match clip.Steve.

What about throwing a de-saturate filter on all the clips, then removing them when done?

In my limited use of Panasonic Cameras I seem to remember that there was a setting in the user menu that had to be changed to make the camera act like a deck rather then a camera there by allowing Final Cut to see it, but chances are you just need the P2 Drivers installed like Chris said.

No Problem.
Glad I could help, although a little to late.Steve.

I was reading you post just now and was about to say the same thing that you just discovered.
We started having that same problem when we switched over to HD from SD.
We traced it back to large 300 DPI 3000 x 4000 pixel images that Final Cut had the overhead to deal with on an SD timeline, but with all the extra thinking it has to do with HD video it could not handle the pictures being that big.
One of my editors put this handy dandy guide for the other editors here.
I’ve put it in there.
When using photos in segments:
NO CMYKs! In SD you could get away with it… Not in HD. Change them to RGB.
Check the photos file size and dimensions. Any photo over 2.5 meg in size is a potential render problem… i.e. you will get a “Out of Memory” error message and lose the render which is a real killer if you’ve been rendering for 10 minutes or more, only to hit a oversized photo, crash and lose the render!
An easy way to check is to click on the file in spread “cover” view which will instantly show you the info.
Resize all oversized pictures in Photoshop before use.
Max size you want is around 2400 x 2400 with a max of 150 resolution.The 1st killer is a resolution of 300. I’ve found that a photo of ANY size with a Res of 300 is “the kiss of death!”. Take it down to 150 if you plan to zoom into the picture… 72 if you don’t.
