Premiere Media Browser not seeing Panasonic P2 Directory

After updating to 2020, Premiere's Media Browser no longer uses the metadata to pull clips in my Panasonic P2 CONTENTS directory, it just sees individual folders and files.

    Have you dumped your cache/cache database files? That might help ...

    i have been dealing with this for some time now. Mostly when using HPX-2000's a couple of times with a 270 and an 800 but with the 800 i found sometimes when i do Simul recording it gives me the directory only. What I found in this case is either you could copy one clip onto another p2 card or sd card that is empty or what i just found is by using that same card just record another clip it could be 5 seconds at the wall. As soon as i put the sd card back in the reader it read the p2 clips and not the contents folder. Not sure why but it did it. Hopefully this works for some folks here.

    Same thing here. Even in prelude. I have tried all different 14 versions, and it is the same. Installed v13 and it works. So I have to load v13 and ingest / import the P2 files, and then start v 14, import the v13 project and work from there... Hope this can be fixed. Running MacOS Catalina.

    July 12, 2020, just updated to most recently available version of P.Pro, and this issue is not resolved. Working on a macbook pro and premiere will see some panasonic P2 file directories as P2 video files. Other P2 directories - same camera, same program for transferring from cam to computer - it only offers directory view. Individual MXF files seem to be there in the subfolders if you want to sync up all that audio and reorder clips from one event shoot back into correct order. This is after all the updating, rebooting, reingesting, and every method of cache deleting. Whatever glitch this is, it isn't fully resolved in PP2020.

    I'm having this issue on 14.5. It only sees P2 media as file structure.

    I haven't had access to the media that would let me test it with 14.5. The
    safest bet is to install Premiere CC and Media Encoder 2018 for a project
    that uses that media. If you want/need to work in the latest version, you
    can use 2018 to transcode it into the uncompressed format of your choice.
    The shop where I work (a community college) can't afford to replace their
    P2 cameras, so I'm kind of stuck with the situation.

    Good luck!

    Same issue here. Media Browser View option only give File Directory view and does not digest P2 directories like it did before.  Premiere 14.0.4 build 18

    The Panasonic P2 directory viewer should now be fixed in Premiere Pro 14.0.1 that was just released.

      I have updated to 14.0.1 but the problem remains. I still have to navigate down to the AVCLIP folder to pull footage in.

      As of today, it is now working properly. Not sure why it wouldn't last week! Thanks Trent!

       

      EDIT: It hasn't worked since then. I still have to navigate down to the AVCLIP directory and it shows individual files.

        I have the same issue, however mine is from the panasonic cx-350 as I have MOV files within it.  Either directly from the camera or with the SD card in a reader. It also crashes Prelude! Maybe because it has a P2 format within the card?

        edit: I should of mentioned that when I try to open the files from the mounted card in media browser, it just crashes PPro as well as Prelude.

        I am also having the same issue with the Panasonic CX-350 file format from SD cards as well as the Panasonic PX-270 microP2 cards.

        I've been going crazy trying to figure out what setting was reset after the update. At least I'm not alone. Excited for an answer!

        This issue has been reproduced in Premiere Pro 14.0/2020 and is currently under investigation.

          For what it's worth, I just confirmed this by reinstalling Premiere CC 2019 and the same P2 media folders imported normally. I could see the individual clips in 2020 in the Video folder and they had their audio connected, but they weren't joined into the hour-long take as shot (an event). I also noted that the View icon in the Media Browser only saw them as a Director. P2 was grayed-out.

           

          Thanks for making it so easy to revert to the earlier version.
