Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media 97
Viewing Spanned Clips in the Browse Area
The Browse area of the Import Panasonic P2 window can display P2 clips two ways: in
Hierarchical List view and Flat List view. The following example shows how a spanned
clip consisting of five P2 clips (on five P2 volumes) appears in both views.
In both views, segments of a spanned clip appear separately when the spanned clip is
missing segments from other P2 volumes. However, when a spanned clip is complete, it
is displayed differently depending on the view you choose.
In Flat List view, a complete spanned clip appears as a single item in the Browse area.
In Hierarchical List view, the same spanned clip appears within each P2 volume that
contains one of the spanned clip’s segments.
