Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media 85
Note: The Import Panasonic P2 window shows all available mounted volumes and
folders that were displayed last time the window was open.
Controls in the Browse Area
The Browse area contains the following controls:
 Add Folder button: Click to add a folder with a valid P2 structure. You can also drag
a P2 folder from the Finder to the Browse area.
 Eject button: Click to remove the currently selected P2 volume or folder from the
Browse area. If the P2 volume is a mounted P2 card or disk image, it is also
unmounted in the Finder.
 Search field: An iTunes-like search field that limits which clips are displayed. All
columns are searched for matches even if some columns are not currently displayed.
For example, if you type “DV,” clips whose names contain “DV” are displayed, but so
are clips using DV and DVCPRO codecs. You can press Command-Control-S to
highlight the search field.
Note: The search field accepts three kinds of timecode delimiters—periods (.),
semicolons (;), and colons (:)—and does not distinguish between them during
searches. For example, you can find all clips containing “10;00“ in a timecode field
by entering “10.00,” “10:00,“ or “10;00.”
