provided a disk name in the User Disc ID field, the system message displays the disk label

Workflow for Editing P2 Clips with AMA
The following steps describe a typical workflow for editing P2 clips with AMA.
n
Do not mix AMA and traditional workflows. Either use AMA when you work with a P2 device or
use the traditional import/batch import workflow.
A typical workflow is as follows:
1. The Panasonic P2 AMA plug-in should be installed on your system.
2. Install the appropriate Panasonic P2 driver.
3. Mount one or more P2 cards (up to five).
The system links the P2 clips automatically into a bin.
n
If you use multiple P2 cards and you remove one of the cards, your media displays offline.
4. Use the master clips to edit and output a sequence.
5. (Option) Rename the clips to organize your material.
6. Consolidate or transcode your sequence or clips.
The media consolidates to the destination you set in the Media Creation dialog box.
Consolidating your media helps when you work with multiple P2 cards. If a card is removed
from the reader, consolidating lets you view your sequence with all the media online.
n
When you consolidate, if you want to keep your AMA clips linked to the original source, select
the option “Keep Master clips linked to media on the original drive,” in the Copying Media Files
dialog box.
n
When you transcode a sequence, the system automatically defaults to convert both audio and
video. You cannot transcode video only with P2.
n
For information on consolidating your sequence, see “Consolidating Media” on page 445. For
information on transcoding your sequence, see “Using the Transcode Command” on page 451.
7. Remove the P2 card.
