Workflow using P2
Importing P2 sources
(Import in the native format/Convert to MXF (OP-1a) for import/
Convert to Grass Valley HQ AVI for import)
You can import a file that is saved in a P2 card to your T2 as the original P2 format
or after converting it to MXF (OP-1a)/Grass Valley HQ AVI. To import a file after
converting to MXF (OP-1a), it will be imported as the original codec.
CAUTION: Importing a P2 source in the native format will copy all of the files that
are located directly under the root folder as well as the CONTENTS folder and its
sub folders (AUDIO, CLIP, ICON, PROXY, VIDEO, and VOICE folders). As for
files in each folder, only the files that are related to the selected file for the import
will be copied.
CAUTION: The system will import 29.97p and 25p clips in AVCIntra 100 and
AVCIntra 50 after converting them to Grass Valley HQ AVI. These clips cannot be
imported in the original native formats.
NOTE: You can also play a playlist in which P2 format sources and non-P2 format
ones are mixed.
NOTE: In addition, you can convert a clip to Grass Valley HQ AVI after importing
it as the original P2 format.
