[quote user="tcervins"] I'm hoping someone with some experience with this type of workflow[/quote] I DO have experience with this type of workflow and I told you what you need to do to bring the transcoded clips into MC5: use AMA to Link To Volume.

[quote user="tcervins"]when I click on file I have and Import option but no Import P2.[/quote] I think for that to work you have to have an actual P2 card in a P2 card reader. The way I brought the converted AVCHD-to-P2 clips into MC5 was to use AMA to Link To Volume. When you Link To Volume you will select the P2 folder you created so that

Each of those systems uses a Quadro card. I see all of you have Geforce cards. link: http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/windows/mxo2/system/tested_sys/ I have an mx02 mini
