Export to Panasonic P2 format

When you have finished editing a sequence using assets from a Panasonic P2 card, you can export the edited
sequence to a hard disk or back to a P2 card. You can also export individual clips to the P2 format.

The maximum file size for a clip stored in the P2 format is 4 GB. When Adobe Premiere Pro exports clips or
sequences larger than 4 GB to P2 format, it exports them as groups of 4 GB spanned clips. For more information
about clip spanning, see “

About spanned clips

” on page 83.

When exporting to P2 from a sequence with a 5.1-channel Master Track, Adobe Premiere Pro can export the
sequence into files with four monaural channels each. This matches the channel array typically recorded by P2
cameras to P2 media, and therefore makes for a simple workflow from P2 card to edit and back to P2 card. To enable
this workflow for a sequence, import the P2 clips into a project containing a 5.1-channel sequence and map the
source channels to their specified tracks before placing the clips into the sequence or exporting them to P2. For more
information, see “

Mapping audio channels

” on page 188.
