Hey everyone, new user here. I'm a recent college grad from SMU heading out to the west coast in July. I've taught myself how to use Avid but one point is killing me. When I do the file->import P2 clips I have to go clip by clip (sometimes for 100+ clips!). Is there anyway to import the clips all at once?

Thanks ya'll! :dankk2:

PS The clips are from a feature film I shot as an undergrad. For safety reasons we backed up all the P2 media to three different drive in three different formats. Drive one has all the P2 cards backed up as disk images. Drive two has the clips themselves ingested using the P2 Clip Viewer. Drive three has the MXF files in the Avid folder. Avid requires I import each clip.
 
What do you mean in the "Avid" folder? Were they already imported once and are now in a folder called Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1 ?

I meant the MXF/1 folder. They've already been imported one clip at a time. I'm not having trouble accessing the clips it's just the initial process of importing seems like it's not streamlined (one clip at a time that is).
 
Update from a long time ago:

Import P2 has been revamped in the latest version of Avid. Now, just select the root folder of your P2 data (contents) and select it. Don't select the individual clip folders. Avid will go through and ingest all the media to your selected bin. Then select all the P2 clips and click import P2 media to transfer the data to your MXF folder.
