or playback. However, if this option is unchecked, the recording/playback

operations may not be performed normally, therefore, we recommend that you use

the system with this option checked.

Exporting a file in the P2 format

Clips imported as the original P2 format can be exported as the P2 format.

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. If a clip imported in the native format is exported without conversion,

the exported clip may not be properly handled by a device that uses any file or folder

that was not copied to your T2 during the import.

1. Display the clips in the Bin tab.

2. Select the P2 format clip(s) you want to export, right-click on it, and then click
