Lest we all get carried away by the appeal of a tapeless workflow, chuck our Z1s in a skip, and run screaming to the nearest Apple Store to buy a MacBook, Final Cut Studio 5.1, and a Panasonic HVX-200… a cautionary tale about how the P2 system may, in fact, be a total disaster zone. Though it does read to me like the author just didn’t prepare properly. Certainly, assuming everything would work with a version of Final Cut that’s older than the recording format was a… curious move.
