View Full Version : Converting MXF's from firestore to quicktime

During a shoot with the HVX+Firestore, P2 was selected instead of Quicktime PN in the firestore's menu. FCP doesn't recognize the firestore like P2 cards, so I couldn't convert them using "Import/Panasonic P2". I saved all of the contents of the FS to another drive so we could continue shooting, but now I have about 20 clips that need to be made into Quicktime. What is the best/most cost effective way of doing this? I'm working with the latest version of FCP 5.

I posted this on the Firestore forum, but I didn't get a reply, so here it is. Any help is appreciated.

You have to execute the "Organize P2" function in the FireStore. After you do that, FCP should be able to import those clips.

Thank-you very much for your reply, Barry. Do you know if there is a way to do this "organize p2" function without the firestore? The FS was rented so we don't have it anymore, but as I said I copied all of its contents.

Thanks again.
