Help me out here. Here is my p2 workflow:
I offload in the field with an addonics adapter and Lenovo netbook using winexplore and sometimes VIEWER for ingest. I like to keep a master p2 folder. A virtual tape rack if you will. I make a folder with the project and in that folder I place each card( 1,2,3, etc) the same way I use to get a box for a project and fill it with tapes labeled 1, 2 ,3 etc.
Back in the office I transfer the contents of field drives to a RAID 1 drive as my master virtual tape rack. That footage is then transferred to my edit raid as needed. The edited raid is cleaned after a project and I can use the p2 master drive to bring the media back online if needed.
Here is my problem. I had a bunch of run and gun shoots and I have some clips that go with project A and Project B in the same virtual p2 card on the Hard drive.
I tried to use CMS but it wants to create its data base and organize the cards itself. I want my clip re-shuffles to conform to my very straight forward system of Project>card 1,2,3,etc. I can see how CMS would be valuable if I used it to view and organize all my cards but I do not. I use WINexplorer.
Basically how do I move 4 clips from one virtual p2 card to another virtual p2 card with out destroying audio, meta or anything else important from the file structure.
