Panasonic P2 cards and MacbookPro

Hi
Here is South Africa it is election time, I am working as a video editor for tv news using a tape bases system, I am trying to get extra work using my MBP and FCS2.
My question is complex:
1: Can I use the P2 card in the express slot?
2: How do I get the video off the laptop when I have finished editing?
3:I have a Sony HVR A1P-could I firewire out to Tape on the Camera and send the tape to be fed?
or should I firewire to a DVCPRO 50 machine and save on tape?
4: We are using DVCPRO 25 tapes and machines, should I use the DVCPRO codec ?
Many thanks

1: Can I use the P2 card in the express slot?
Not directly...the slot is too small. Wrong type. P2 cards are PCMCIA and the slot is Express34. You'd need an adapter and there is only one that works with that camera and P2 cards, the Duel Systems Adapter.
2: How do I get the video off the laptop when I have finished editing?
Off to...what? Output to tape? Export for the web? Made a DVD? You'll have to clarify this better.
3:I have a Sony HVR A1P-could I firewire out to Tape on the Camera and send the tape to be fed?
Sorry, that is a vastly different format of HD. That is HDV and P2 typically is DVCPRO HD or AVCIntra. DVCPRO HD and AVCIntra are formats that shoot individual frames, while HDV is a GOP format that shoots a few solid frames, but then a group of pictures that basically guess at what will be between them. You cannot go firewire out to that deck unless you convert P2 to HDV, and that would be a bad thing. HDV is a shooting format, not a mastering one.
or should I firewire to a DVCPRO 50 machine and save on tape?
Well, are you shooting DVCPRO 50? or DVCPRO HD? If you shot DVCPRO HD, you'd have to convert the final to DVCPRO 50 (dropping it into a DV50 sequence and rendering is one way) and the print to tape. But then you are losing a LOT of quality.
4: We are using DVCPRO 25 tapes and machines, should I use the DVCPRO codec ?
If you have DVCPRO 25 tapes and machines, then if you shoot that format on the P2 cards outputting them to that format of tape won't be a problem. Just depends what format you shoot. But avoid DVCPRO HD to HDV...that would be a bad decision.

  • Panasonic P2 Cards slot, gone on the new MBP? Why?

    I will like to buy a MBP but, I need the slot for the Panasonic P2 Cards which the old Power Book has... Would they be adding this feature again in the next model? any ideas? Why would the take it out?
    Thanks!

    When I heard about the ExpressCard replacing the PC Card slot in the MBP, my first question is - will there be a CF adapter for the new slot? My next question is - how about P2?
    The answers are to buy a FW/USB CF card reader and P2 Store Deck if I ever use the technology. Then again, there's FireStore. Sigh...

  • PCMCIA Card Reader for MacBook or MacBook Pro to Read Panasonic P2 Cards

    Is there a MacBook or MacBook Pro that comes with a PCMCIA slot that will accept the new Panasonic P2 cards that are used to capture the DVCProHD format? If not, is there an alternative to the Panasonic reader that uses an USB connection to send the information to the computer. Currently, the only way I can import the material is via the camera. Thanks for any help.

    Spot On!
    I am completely sold on the technology and its future. I recently read an article on a future codec that will be available for the camera and card that will use the H.264 scheme in the compression. This will double the amount of content that a card will hold. In other words, from 8 gigs = 8 minutes to 8 gigs = 16 minutes. This will come in the form of a downloadable update for the camera and cards. REALLY COOL!!! You won't have to buy a new camera to take advantage of the improved codec.
    As far as color reproduction, HDV cannot come close. If you look at the technical aspects of DVCPro HD vs. HDV, it's a "No Brainer."
    Happy Shooting!

  • Panasonic HVX-200 and FCPX import issue

    I'm using a Panasonic HVX-200 and having trouble importing the data from the P2 cards into FCPX. I get this error message: The following clip encountered an error during import and is still referencing media on the camera:  The files play as long as the camera is connected, which is useless in the long run.

    I was on the phone today with several terrific Apple techs for about five hours and we may have gotten to the bottom of this.
    FCPX works well with many different recording formats of the HVX 200 and the p2 cards. But I have had issues with importing 720/30PN footage. It just would not work.
    After many hours of trouble shooting with me on the phone, the Apple tech was able to replicate the problem on an HVX 200 at their office.
    Apparently FCPX works with HVX 200 1080i, 480i, just about any footage except the 720 set.
    He opened an inquiry with the FCPX engineering department and they are looking into it.

  • Panasonic AG-HMC74ER and Premiere Pro CS4

    Hi i need help i use Premiere Pro CS4 with Black Magic Intensity Pro and Panasonic AG-HMC74ER europian version.All is working fine but a have a problem when importing an MPG2 files because my Panasonic AG-HMC74ER recording on SD card and with software who come with Panasonic AG-HMC74ER i copy and convert files.I,ts show me unsuported or corupted file and i tray to import on Premiere Pro 2.0 its working fine. Why is so did i miss something or need some plugin for this? Please somebody help to me i need to finish my project and i,m a mad about this problem.

    The trial does not support HDV, or any MPEG format for that matter. So you have to use the in-camera downrez to SD function in order to capture in a standard DV project. Whether you shot in 24F is not relevant, your tape was still recording and running at 60 Hz, so choose a 29.97 DV format.

  • Dvdirect, memory, SDHC card and Pana vid cam

    I'm trying to use a dvdirect (VRD-MC6) to copy to disc some video footage shot by a Panasonic videocam. I was hoping it would be as easy as pulling the HDMC card and popping it into the DVDirect. I get an error message. Anybody try this that can suggest a workaround? Thanks

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
    The DVDirect has slots for the following memory cards. However, not all memory card operations are supported.
    • SD Memory Card – (operation is supported up to 2 Gbytes.)
    • SDHC Memory Card- (operation is supported up to 32 Gbytes.)
    • xD-Picture Card
    • Memory Stick PRO
    • Memory Stick Pro Duo
    You may connect your camcorder directly to the DVD Recorder and make copies via USB port, DV-IN or AV-IN. Please refer to DVD recorder’s operating manual for recording set up and process.

    I want to transfer money straight into my iTunes account, but I'm not sure if I can actually use my debit card.

    If you are just visiting Singapore, then leave the account as it is. If you have moved there, then view your account using the iTunes app on a Mac or PC and change the country/region to your current location and address. If you do not have a bank card, you can fund your account using iTunes gift cards if available in Singapore.

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • Video Card and PSU upgrade for HP pavilion p6310y?

    Hello,
    I am a mild gamer and I would like to upgrade my video card so I could play games like minecraft and maplestory without my frame rate dropping every 5-10 min.  When this happens it sounds like the fan in my computer is working really hard and the game is almost unplayable.  I also play a few games from steam such as Gmod and Borderlands, however the games that seem less graphic intensive give me more problems. 
    Should I and am I able to upgrade the video card and psu for this HP pavilion p6310y?  or possibly get a better card for these game without upgrading psu?

    Hi,
    Yuo might try updating the video driver from the NVIDIA web site.
    Your PC has a 300 watt power supply.  If you don't need DirectX 11 (used for better detail in newer games), then the NVIDIA GT 240 1GB or 512 MB DDR5 is about tops for a 300 watt power supply.

  • Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto

    Lightroom will not import my photos.   It did up to a week ago.   I have changed cards and cameras (both worked two weeks ago).   I can import the photos to Picasa and iPhoto.   I get the following error message:  
    Some import operations were not performed.
    The following files were not imported because they could not be read  [followed by a list of the files I wanted to import]
    Thumbnails show up.  LR just will not import them.
    Any idea what is going wrong?

    If the Import button is not clickable, that means that Lightroom thinks you have no new photos to import (one possible reason is that they are duplicates)
    So, you need to figure out why Lightroom thinks that. The way I would do this is to search your Library module for at least one of the photos, by file name. To do this, you would follow all 4 of these steps in sequence:
    Click on All Photographs in the Catalog Panel on the left of the Library Module
    Turn off all Filters (Ctrl-L or Cmd-L once or twice)
    Expand all stacks: Photo->Stacking->Expand All Stacks
    Search for one or more of the photos using the Filter Bar (press backslash), search by File Name
