Chapter 5 Working with Panasonic P2 Cards 103
3 In Final Cut Pro, choose View > Video Playback, then choose the format you want to
output via FireWire.
For example, if you want to output 720p60 footage and the camcorder recording mode
is set to 720P/60P, you should choose View > Video Playback > DVCPRO HD (720p60)
(1280 x 720).
4 Open a clip in the Viewer or a sequence in the Timeline whose format matches the
recording mode of the camcorder.
5 Choose View > External Video > All Frames.
The current frame in the Viewer or Canvas appears on the camcorder display. If the
current frame does not appear, start over from step 2.
6 Do one of the following:
 Choose File > Print to Video, choose your output options, then click OK.
 Press the Space bar to begin playing your footage directly in the Viewer or Timeline.
Note: For best results, deselect the Automatically Start Recording checkbox in the Print
to Video window.
7 On the camcorder, press the red and gray record buttons simultaneously.
8 When you have finished recording, press the Pause/Set button on the camcorder and
then press the Down menu button.
To verify that a clip was created on the P2 card in the camcorder, press the AUDIO DUB/
THUMBNAIL button on the camcorder, navigate to the thumbnail for the clip you just
recorded, then press the Up menu button to play the clip.
Capturing over FireWire as if a P2 Card Were a Tape in a VTR
You can configure the Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder so that Final Cut Pro treats it
like a traditional VTR (video deck). Accordingly, inserted P2 cards can emulate the linear
nature of tape, allowing you to use the Log and Capture window to transfer media.
Note: Because footage is transferred in real time as though it were coming from tape,
this method is slower than ingesting media via the Log and Transfer window.
To use the Log and Capture window to capture media from a P2 card:
1 Connect one end of a FireWire cable to the corresponding port on the camcorder.
2 Connect the other end of the FireWire cable to a corresponding port on your computer.
3 Insert the P2 card containing the clips you want to capture into one of the slots in
the camcorder.
