The dp has disappeared. How can you find out what format he shot the movie in? We used a Panasonic HD camera.

Thanks for your help.
 
Mario- can you be a bit more detailed and give us more information- what is on the hard drive- folders, file types, etc. Pretend like we can't see your computer from here.

I go to Panasonic P2. Then the hard drive. Then I click on a clip. Then content. Inside you find: Audio, Clip, Icon, Proxy, Video, and Voice.

Click on Video. They are .mxf files.

Thanks for your help.
 
Ok those are Panasonic HVX200 DVCPROHD files.

On FCP 5.1 it's File>Import>Panasonic P2.
On FCP 6, it's File>Log and Transfer.

Then point to each folder with the contents and lastclip.txt file.

Which setting should I chose under Audio/Video Settings. What should I chose in sequence preset and capture preset?

I need to know if it's pal or ntsc. We shot in another country.

Also I've done a little bit of the editing already in the preset HDV 1080i50. Can I convert them? Do I need to start over?
 
In FCP if you right click (control-click) > logging info on the clip in the browser. In there you should be able to see info on the clip.
