Working with File-Based Media
Yo u c an a ls o c ons ol id a te s ub cli ps or a s eq u en c e i n t he s a me wa y. It is
best to specify a specific handle length so that each clip or subclip in the
sequence is consolidated with additional media at its beginning and end.
Consolidating a sequence results in less stored media but also less flexibil-
ity with respect to altering the sequence in the future. If time and storage
are available, the preferred method is to also consolidate the subclips.
Working with P2 Media
One of the most popular file-based formats is Panasonic’s P2 media.
Panasonic P2 video and audio media files are recorded in MXF format
onto proprietary disks called P2 cards.
Each P2 card stores MXF files in two folders:
Audio
(Windows) drive:\Contents\Audio
(Macintosh) Macintosh HD\Contents\Audio
Video
(Windows) drive:\Contents\Video
(Macintosh) Macintosh HD\Contents\Video
