Hey everyone, while i was reading in the hpx manual as to the different methods of importing clips in to Final Cut i saw that i could go to File>import> and there should be a p2 option. However on my final cut system there is no P2 import option? Is this because my FCP is not up to date (because im 99% sure it is) or have i failed to install the necessary plug in from panasonic???

my second question is that i thought (like the sony ex1) that the HPX can capture 1920x1080. But i have noticed that the compression being used my camera is the DVCPRO HD which is 1280x1080. Is there anyway i can get 1920x1080 with the HPX? and will this mean that my resolution is better? I have heard that larger frame size doesn't necessarily mean better image quality so if someone can clear that up for me that would be great as well.

1. connect the camera via Firewire and in FCP go to Log & Transfer.

2. Not sure, but I think the answer to #2 is No.

It was changed to log and transfer in FCP 6.0.3 I believe.

Manual has a bunch of info on this.
