I'm importing files from a Panasonic HVX200 P2 card into Final Cut Pro via "Log and Transfer". Normally, transferred files have a full circle displayed next to them while untransferred files have an empty circle. After I transfer my clips, Final Cut displays a half-full circle next to the imported files; I do not yet know what this means. When I view the clip, the audio ceases considerably early. I have not encountered this problem before. Any thoughts?

Half-circle means partial file transfer.
It sounds like you accidentally set in/out points in the log&transfer window before importing. You can clear your accidentally-set in/out points by hitting option-x in the log&transfer window.
I haven't found a way to 'add to' what you've already imported, so your best bet is to re-import the entire clip and then replace the old clips with the new in your project bin. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply tbob.
We're looking at more than just trimmed edges. It appears as though Final Cut (at least my build) has an issue with importing 24p and 30p from the HVX200. I was able to circumvent the issue by using frame rates like 24pN (native) that don't duplicate images. 24p and 30p duplicate frames and are truly recorded at 60p. I did a bit of testing and 60p, 30pN, 24pN (frame rates that do not make image duplicates) all work fine.
A note to anyone else who encounters this issue: I set my frame rate in Menu>Recording Setup>Rec Format and set the Scene File frame rate (found at Menu>Scene File>Frame Rate) to "Default".

As to audio, what do you have your preferences to set regarding duplicate frames and pulldown?
What are the cam settings for the footage you shot?
