Combining spanned clips

Could someone please tell me how to combine spanned clips? When i look at the camera thumbnails, I have 4 clips. One of these is an hour long, broken into multiple clips, spanned across both cards. I am using AVID MC with AMA turned off, manually importing P2 files from the file menu.

I am using the P2CMS on a Mac OS to import the files to my HD's (before the AVID import occurs). I don't see any option here, nor could find any info in the manual, regarding combining the spanned clips. They are marked with the pink ! as they should be. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Well, sort of. Once all the clips are ingested, import 1 by 1 and they begin to fill out the missing pieces in the main clip. Any good input on streamlining this process?

Thanks

I went through the process stated below, imported the media to my media drives, but after startup it is offline again, thanks.

1. Import the P2 clips from a P2 card or any device where the P2 contents are stored by selecting File > Import P2 > Clips to Bin. The P2 master clip information loads into a bin. This is useful because it is only the clip metadata and it effectively allows you to browse the card contents directly without having to copy the media itself.
2. (Option) Rename the clips to help with organizing your material. ​
3. Transfer the media to dedicated storage: select the clips you want and import the media for them by selecting File > Import P2 > Media. ​
The media imports to the destination you set in the Media Creation dialog box.
4. Remove the P2 card or drive.
