Convert MXF to what format for Final Cut Pro ?

[Cooki]

Hello,
I introduce my P2 Card in my Power Book G4 and copy the content of P2 Card on the Hard Disk of my G4, MXF files appear.

Before putting MXF files in the browser of FCP, I must convert MSF to what format which be able to be edited with FCP ?

Thank you very much

In FCP 5.0.4 to 5.1.2, you use the Menu command Import Panasonic P2

In 6.0.x, you log and transfer.

powerbook G4 will be really slow though. I used one and it would convert the HD, but it wouldn't play it back cleanly.. stuttering and such, unless I minimized the screen window down really small...

I too use a Powerbook G4 and it is fine.

I have two tutorials...one for FCP 5.0.4 and one that works for FCP 5.1.4 and FCP 6:

They are very clear, rich, well made and very precious for all users of P2 and FCP.
Thank you so much

Thank you very much for help. I'll do that.

Have you tried Raylight for Mac? I should have listened the folks here sooner and got that. Picked it up a week or so ago, well after several shoots, and I wish I had purchased it sooner.

Ho...
