Is there anyway to recover my files from P2 if the "clip folder" is missing? Lost it while offloading to a laptop somehow. Everything else appears to be there, just don't see anything when trying to import into FCP.:(
 
Bump , if anyone has a solution it would be great (this is from a wedding video I did, and I hate to have lost these clips)
 
I think that's one of the "new" p2log features.

Haven't tried it yet, though...

I think you are talking about the new MXF file repair feature in P2 Log Pro. I have tried it on a clip which was on a P2 card that was ejected inadvertently from the camera while it was recording. That clip has in the past not been recognized by either FCP, Avid, nor P2 Log.

I told P2Log Pro to fix that clip, it worked on it for a few minutes, and created a new P2 Volume with the "repaired " version of the MXF file in it. Drum roll...it still would not import into FCP or Avid.

Bummer.
 
Thanks for the warning.

I might as well drop the upgrade if this is the case...

well, I'm gonna try copying everything to a pc I have avid running on and see if I can save the clips as quicktime files, and bring back to FCP when I'm done. fingers crossed...:huh:
 
Avid can definitely import the files, as it doesn't even use the CLIP folder.

P2 Log Pro can rescue these files too, IINM.
 
Ok, now I got the clips into avid, and they seem to all be there, but I want to export them out of avid and be able to import into FCP, I tried a quicktime file, but it was just white screen with just the audio playing. Am I screwed?
