dude, thanks for info, but I can still pull up the files if they are in the root directory named CONTENTS without the .txt file. Strange.
but only one CONTENTS folder at a time.Todd McMullen

Some interesting and disturbing developments in the world of p2 work flow. It seems that p2 doesn’t like anything other than a contents named folder. Once I just have
the name of a contents folder on the main root of the hard drive then it notices it. If it buried in a sub-folder then it does not recognize it a a p2 file.
So, I have 3 different folders with 8 different content folder in each that I just have to rename Contents and reposition it then it comes up as being a p2 file in fcp.
this is just nutty. I can only assume this is specific to mac only.How could it not recognize the file even if it was a different name.btw, shane , your web address sends me to hunting dogs or something.

Shane,
thanks for info. It seems I can still import clips if I just have one folder called contents.How could this be. also,
how does the p2 browser work in fcp. even if i name a clip and go to the right path it doesn’t recognize as p2 clip.
also, is there a way to delete the clips out of the p2 viewer to bring up other clips.Todd McMullen

Beware of this method. I can’t say for sure but i am having issues accessing my footage off of a firewire hard drive after doing this same thing.
My work flow was to shoot footage, insert p2 card into powerbook, copy contents folder onto firewire drive, rename folder contents-1 and so on(this was because we had 3 camera and
didn’t want all of them to be contens folders), then force delete the footage. We did not copy .txt file into the folder, and it would not delete. so this may be the trouble I am having accessing the footage.
I know it is there, but, fcp 5.0.4, does not recognize the folders when I try to import. And i cannot import the files or folder because it does not recognize the format.
I am stumped. I do not know how to access this footage. Anybody have any suggestions? i am current with p2 software and fcp software.Todd McMullen

yes, jan, I think I have changed it, but, I don’t know how. Do I need the .txt file in that folder. We took the folder off the p2 card out of the powerbook and just copied it to a hard drive. Since we had 3 cameras, we subdivided into different categories and added a dash 1 to each contents folder.
contents-1,contents-2 ,so on. but that was it. we have over 80 gigs of material so I know it is there, but I can’t get to it. Any ideas on how to retreive this footage, or is there any software that will convert.Todd McMullen

check out the larger petrol bag. I get camera with mattebox/follow focus and just about anything else in there. It is also a great run and gun bag.

I beleive Miami vice used both film and the Genesis from panavision. The Hd stuff would have been shot at night. Film During the day.
I could be wrong but I beleive that was workflow.Todd McMullen

What do you mean hard to get a hold of? Are they too small for your hands? Not surewhat you mean. But I just shot a short film on super 8mm and had no problem getting camera and film. google 8mm.
