Re: Labeling P2 Cards with Scenes and Takes...SD

Very easy to do with some caveats.

FCP does not support P2 metadata. You will need to use Raylight.

Here is the abbreviated version...

Use P2 CMS (free download from Panasonic) to create user metadata files.

Create the metadata and save to sd card. Turn on metadata in the camera and load metadata on each new scene.

The field "User Clip Name" is auto incrementing. Use that for takes. Use "Program Name" for the scene #'s.

Create one file for each scene and/or camera. If you use raylight, it will create folders based on scenes.

Read my whitepaper on P2-FCP workflows on Panasonic's website for more details.

Hope this helps,
