I had some problems with our new P2 stuff. I fugured out that the you need to copy the whole directory off the P2. It is a folder called "contents." The folder can then be imported in FCP 5.2 (or something new 4.5 will not work) using the import Panasonic P2 tab in the file menu. The folder must be called "contents" and nothing else. This obviously causes problems when you are copying off a P2 store and have 10 different contents folders. The first time we shot I was copying straight to a hard drive and calling them contents1 etc. I found one workaround where I copied the numbered contents folder back to a P2 card, renamed it "contents" then imported it. Then I realized if I just renamed stuff right on the computer it worked too. Sorry this is so long, but hopefully you can learn something from my "research." I sure hope we get NATIVE mxf viewing in the next FCP cause right now the situation kinda sucks. david

We're using that one too. It's really been nice. Street price is $2700.

I'm looking at the guerilla 35. They are developing with the camera in mind. They are saying the system will be out by Christmas. The test shots look better than the redrock micro imho.

Thanks so much for the info. This site looks cool. appreciate it, Dave

I'm just wondering if anyone knows what house MD is shot on. It hink it looks great for TV. Is it the SDX 900? Thanks.
