How Final Cut Pro Identifies Spanned Clips
Each P2 clip (XML file) contains a unique clip ID to keep track of media files.
A spanned clip contains a shot ID number in addition to the clip ID numbers of
every media file constituting the shot.
Spanned clips usually exist on multiple P2 volumes, but they can also exist on a single
P2 volume because of the 4 GB file size limit of the FAT32 file system. For example,
when shooting a long take on an 8 GB P2 card, it’s possible to create a spanned clip
(one clip that points to two 4 GB media files) on that single volume.
