I had an outside company shoot an event and they put the footage on my
XHD. They are P2 files which I have never worked with before.
After reading a few discussions it looks like Log and Trasfer is the way to go?
Do I need a converter ?driver etc to convert the P2 files before
I import into Log and transfer.
Please help.

P2 support is built in. Here's the workflow:

I HOPE they kept the full card structure intact...
Shane,
P2 Support is built in-?
Not sure what that means since-
I went to the link and your video, you said to go to the mfg for the driver.
At the Panasonic site it said:
P2 Driver
Download the software driver for your PC or MAC system to recognize the 32GB and 16GB P2 card.
But the download said it's for Windows and nothing about the mac.
Download this one anyway?
Am I only a driver away?
Since I don't have the original footage and they downloaded the
clips on my XHD I would be starting from there once I have the driver.
Kevin
The P2 driver for L&T is built in. No download needed. There was software for your computer to recognize the 32GB cards...to get them to mount. But your footage has already been downloaded.
Did they keep the full card structure? There are a lot of people who just grab the files they THINK they need, and not the whole thing. If the card structure isn't fully intact, L&T won't work. And you'll have to look at third party solutions.
Shane, This the warning I get when I try to import.
Here are my contents: Is this a full card structure?
Kevin
Hmmm I see my pictures don't work??
Send them to me direct. comeback at mac dot com.
Here they are.
OH...It's not the card structure...it's AVCIntra.
FCP 6 might not support AVCIntra. it does support DVCPRO HD P2...but AVCIntra came out after FCP 6...Hmmm...There might be an updated FCP 6 for that. Are you running FCP 6.0.4?
Here is shown the video files that won't highlight.
I am currently running FCP 6.0.6
Good...you have the last version of that.
OK...you don't go digging into folders with Log and Transfer. You don't even select the CONTENTS folder. YOu need to select the folder that the Contents folder and Lastclip.txt file are inside. So you have a folder called CARD_01...or whatever. And inside there is CONTENTS and LASTCLIP.TXT...and then the subfolders. Select the CARD_01 folder in Log and Transfer. And the folder should have no odd characters in it like !@#%^&*()
These are my choices.
Yes...those are the choices for converting...good, so AVCINTRA is there. Now you need to answer my last question...are you choosing the ROOT folder...not the CONTENTS folder, not folders buried in that, and NOT the files themselves. But the folder that the CONTENTS folder is inside...like I state on my tutorial demo.
I'm trying to select the first folder 50613 Gov Snyder Event-Do you see anything wrong with the way it's named?
The contents of the folder-just to show how it shows when it is opened.
This is what comes up after I select 50613 Gov Snyder Event
When I first started this and found out you need a LASTCLIP.TXT
it wasn't with the content folder on the XHD a and they
emailed these 2 for me to use. Does it matter which one to use?
Hope this helps.
Yes...the name of the hard drive is "XHD 5/12." The drive is on the path to the footage...FCP cannot get past anything on the path that has a character like a slash /
Change the drive name to XHD 5_12 and see what happens.
Shane,
Changed the name to XHD 5_12, then XHD 512 and tried
both settings and still get the same warning.
Would this have something to do with LASTCLIP.TXT?
Should I try the second LASTCLIP-1.TXT
