Can't open P2
December 03, 2008 02:36AM
I'm going crazy trying to open a P2 card. I have watched (and re-watched) a Shane Ross tutorial and a Ripple tutorial on the subject and read many articles, but it's still not working.

The first thing i did was rename the folder which was called No Name . Is this where i went wrong?
How do i get back from here? I no longer have the p2 card, just a folder with the CONTENTS folder and last clip.text file in it

I have got to a point where i end up with the icon's in my browser, but not much else.

Any ideas please?

What did you name the folder? Be sure NOT to have any symbols like # or / or -. So no Card #1, Card/1 or anything like that. Note the names I use in the tutorial.

Do you have a demo version of FX FActory installed? Early version (version 1)? These interfered with P2 import. Uninstall them if you do.

Thanks for getting back Shane.

I did have a demo of FX factory but i've trashed it after reading an article by you. To no avail.

I think i just put the name of the job and tape number on the folder. Now it's back in a folder called no name as i attempted to cover my tracks.

There is a padlock on the last clip.text file if that's relevant? I did try unlocking it but got the same result.

I have the original p2 card (and 9 more waiting to be re-formatted) back at my place of work, but i thought i'd get this one up and running first. Not having much success so far.

Turns out I hadn't completely got rid of FX factory, but now I have i think i've cracked it.

Thanks for your help Shane.
