I have tried all of the existing solutions. But when I try to import via P2 from an HVX200 the clip goes idle and I cannot get my clips in from my camera. Please help!!! I am so aggrevated right now.
I am using Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 on a Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
Thank you!!!
Anybody?! Please I am going crazy here. Your help would be greatly appreciated. I have several projects that are backing up because I cannot download my P2 footage.
Thank you!!!!
#36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.
Thank you for responding...and so quickly. But I have tried all of your #36 options already...having already scene it on other posts. Can you think of anything else? Thank you!
Sorry, don't have many ideas. Try one clip at a time. a few times. What about your scratch disk? How is it formatted?
Been trying all kinds of things. Even checked my scratch disk. Everything seems okay. What did you mean when you asked "How is it formatted?"
A thousand thank yous!
Select the drive on the desktop and hit command (apple)-i or control click on it and select "get info." You should be able to determine the formatting of the drive. It should be macosextended. If it isn't, either reformat the drive using applications: utilities: disk utitlity or get another drive already formatted for use on a macintosh.
No luck yet. The drive format is Mac OS Extended. Any other suggestions? Getting desperate here. Shot and unloaded footage from P2 for the project. Need to shoot more and may have to just shoot on miniDVs and worry about the final look later. But do not want to. Thanks for helping me out so far!
P2 importing. Clip goes Idle and won't import. Any suggestions?
