When you have finished editing a sequence
using assets from a Panasonic P2 card, you can export the edited
sequence to a hard disk or back to a P2 card. You can also export
individual clips to the P2 format.
The maximum file size for
a clip stored in the P2 format is 4 GB. When Premiere Pro exports
clips or sequences larger than 4 GB to P2 format, it exports them
as groups of 4 GB spanned clips. For more information
about clip spanning, see About spanned clips.
When exporting to P2 from a sequence
with a 5.1-channel master track, Premiere Pro can export the sequence
into files with four monaural channels each. This matches the channel
array typically recorded by P2 cameras to P2 media, and therefore
makes for a simple workflow from P2 card to edit and back to P2
card. To enable this workflow for a sequence, import the P2 clips
into a project containing a 5.1-channel sequence and map the source
channels to their specified tracks before placing the clips into
the sequence or exporting them to P2. For more information, see Map audio channels. Note: Exporting to P2 from stereo sequences,
which are the default type used in the various P2 presets, will
produce files with two mono tracks with the sequence’s stereo panning
preserved.
When you export clips or sequences to P2
media Premiere Pro translates clip and XMP metadata into P2-standard
fields that can be read by P2 viewers, cameras, servers, and P2
“decks.”
- Select the sequence or clip in a Timeline panel
or Project panel.
- (Optional) If exporting from the Timeline, set a timeline
marker, numbered “0” on the frame you want used as the P2 icon for
the exported.
If you do not set this marker, the first frame of
the sequence will appear as the P2 icon by default.
- Choose File > Export > Media.
- From the Format drop-down menu, select P2 Movie.
- (Optional) Click the hot text in the Output Name field,
and type a new filename.
This name is used as the value for the UserClipName
element in the exported clip’s metadata XML file. The UserClipName
value appears in the Name column of the Project panel when the clip
is imported back into Premiere Pro. If you do not specify a name,
the filename appears in the Name column. The name of the file is automatically
generated in conformance with the Panasonic P2 MXF format.
- Browse to the location where you want to save the file.
You can navigate to the root of the mounted P2 card or to your destination
folder of choice, and click Save.
If a P2 compliant file structure is present at the
destination, the exported clips will be added to the existing folders.
If the P2 compliant file structure isn’t present, Premiere Pro creates
one for you at the destination.
- Define the section of the clip or sequence you want to
export. In the Export Settings dialog box, drag the triangular current-time
indicator
 to the desired
in point, and click the Set In Point button  . Drag
the triangular current-time indicator to the desired out point,
and click the Set Out Point button  .
- Click OK.
The sequence or clip is added to the CONTENTS folder
of the disk or P2 card, with the video MXF file added to the VIDEO
folder, the audio MXF file added to the AUDIO folder, the icon file
added to the ICON folder, and the metadata XML file added to the
CLIP folder.
