Ann: New Mac P2 offload software. Beta testers needed....

my homies at videolan will make it happen:

http://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/152

looking at the MXF format, it's pretty lametarded. cute and very basic, but what ever happened to a well formed file with some good headers? anyway, as soon as a demuxer is available for VLC it will be a bit easier, but the first problem (that anders appears to have solved) is definitely organization of downloads.

I know a lot of professional photographers with the same problem, though I hear aperture and lightroom solve them.

So we just need an aperture for MXF :P

Hi, my name is Brunella and I have a small production company. I have just gained access to a Panasonic P2 and would love to test your downloading software.
I was hoping to continue using macs since I edit in Final Cut.
Hope to hear from you soon.
 
my p2 genie beta has expired and can't raise anders via email about getting it renewed or pay for release. great program, I really miss using it. Waahhh!
 
Sell me an unlocked beta

Sell me an unlocked beta

Anders,

Leaving for a 3 week HVX shoot in India on 6/1 (lone gunner).
Please sell me a beta of "P2Genie" before I leave. I can't bear the thought of
transfering all those P2 cards manually.

I'm on bended knee begging you...

Anders,

Does the genie app work with a mbp when the camera is just connected via a firewire cable? That's all I'm doing right now to get my files from the HVX to the macbook pro. I'd reall like to try the genie.

Actually it worked fine before (running under rosatta), but that was just not quite right was it?

Now I can wave that cool universal logo...

Anders,
One frustration I have is the naming system of clips would it be possible to add a batch rename function so I could select a way to easily rename clips?
 
How would you like it to work?
I have something going , I can rename all the fileames but the clipname is integraded into the XML, so it's not enough in all cases....
 
Would anyone miss the basic reel number function if I removed it?

I always use the name & date names and it would unclutter the interface a bit.
Any comments?

You mac will / can already do this for you. Check out the following tutorial, although it is for DVDSP / iPhoto- it shows you how to create a batch rename automation.

It is the second article down under new releases- "Batch processing images in DVDSP ..."

As I havent used the software yet, I can;t say that I would miss it. But I have usually named my tapes when capturing with FCP with reel numbers- so I would miss not naming it that way- I haven't used date names. (Even with the FS-4 I would rename the clips to reel numbers and names.) I'd drop the date, but that's just me. Anyone else have any comments?

I'm just anxious to get the software ....

Anders,

keep the reel # option as it is a lot simpler in some cases. sometimes I just want a simple folder with filenames or reel #'s.

FWIW

Yep, I'll do that.
Well, at long last I'm almost god to go.
Doing the website right now
Actually I've done a bit work on the V2 interface, but thats a bit out into the future:
v2.png

P2 cards and the destination folder mounts on the left.
Select one of them and you can browse the contents in the right side. ( a bit like iTunes)
There are thumbnails, but no video playback...
If you select the destination you can edit the clipname as well.
 
kickass Anders! So far, nobody has any software like this- I'm amazed that Panasonic has not tried to snatch up your app.

I'd like to thank you! I am so tired of the P2 "noname" copy then rename folder... then copy again....what a pain: until P2 Genie. I spent 2 hours backing up 13 P2 cards off of my P2 store last week- I dearly missed your app.


cheers,

Chris
