98 Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media
To avoid confusion, it’s usually best to use Flat List view when ingesting spanned clips.
When a spanned clip is incomplete, you can ingest each segment as an individual
QuickTime media file and clip. However, when all segments of a spanned clip are
available, you can ingest all of the spanned clip’s media to a single QuickTime file.
∏ Tip: When logging spanned clips, assign reel names that indicate all volumes from
which a clip originated. For more information, see “Choosing Reel Names and
Understanding P2 Volume Names” on page 94.
Using Print to Video to Output to P2 Cards in the AG-HVX200
You can output footage in Final Cut Pro to P2 cards in a Panasonic AG-HVX200
camcorder. This method only works when using the built-in FireWire port on your
computer in conjunction with the Print to Video command or when playing footage
directly in the Viewer or Timeline.
To output to P2 cards, the following must be true:
 The camcorder recording mode and your footage in Final Cut Pro must have matching
settings: For example, if your footage is 720p60, the camcorder recording mode must
be set to 720P/60P.
 Your current video playback selection must match the camcorder recording mode: For
example, if your camcorder recording mode is set to 720P/60P, you must choose
View > Video Playback > DVCPRO HD (720p60) (1280 x 720). The same option
appears in the A/V Devices tab of the Audio/Video Settings window. If you don’t see
the video playback option you want, try changing the camcorder recording mode
(for more information, see the setup steps below).
 You must have available space on the P2 cards inserted in the AG-HVX200 camcorder.
Important: Not all formats supported by the AG-HVX200 camcorder can be output to
P2 cards from Final Cut Pro. Make sure to test the format you want to output before
starting your project. 720pN24, 720pN30, 720p25, 720p50, and variable frame rate
formats are not supported.
