View Full Version : P2 Card Serial Number in Metadata? Need to sort cards!

P2 cards got mixed up during a shoot and now we are trying to figure out who own which card. High stakes because someone will end up short as there appears to be more claimants than cards!

We shot a ton of footage using ten different 8GB P2 cards. We have P2 viewer. But as far as we can tell, only the camera serial number appears in the metadata.

Is there anywhere in the metadata or the actual MXF files where we can tell which footage was shot with which card? That will help us sort this mess out, as certain people know that they shot certain footage with their own cards, at the outset of the shoot!

Obviously, everyone is going to write down their serial numbers from now on!

From memory, Yes, the metadata does include the P2 cards serial mumber.... the easiest way I know of to get at it is to us Panny's free P2CMS.
Hope this helps!
