P2 import issue (nothing happens)

[Allan Spiers]

Hello All,

I have posted this at Apple's FCP forum and many suggeted I post this here, also.

I have a project that I have been importing P2 folders into FCP 5.1.2. All 21 folder import fine except one. Every time I place the suspect CONTENTS folder into the import well, nothing happens. I have tried using the "add folder" button, same thing...the window appears to let me select the CONTENTS folder, I select it, nothing happens.

I do, however, get the standard errors when I select something other that the CONTENTS folder.

I have put the folders back onto a P2 card and attempted to repair it in a HVX 200 camera. Still nothing happens when I bring it back in.

Any ideas?

One thing that seems a bit odd is that 2 of the XML files are all jumbled looking when I open them in TextEdit. The other three look like the traditional XML format.

Perhaps the XML transaltion data became corrupt somehow? Is there a way to repair this?

Thanks for the help.

How did you get your power book to mount the camera p2 card
should it see it via the usb 2 contection ie should it show up as another drive on the desk top and you just import the clips.


I can not get the camera to mount the pc2 cards

Connect the camera via Firewire, set the camera to IEEE 1394 mode (not USB or IEEE HOST mode), switch to MCR mode, then press and hold the MCR mode button for an additional two seconds.

Or you might want to take a peek at that manual.

Everything is there about mounting via Firewire.
