If footage was acquired on the FireStore FS-100 or FS-100-160, you will first have to run the FireStore "Organize P2" command before attempting to import footage into EDIUS Broadcast. Attach the FireStore via a IEEE 1394 cable; make sure to plug the cable into the FireStore's COMPUTER I/O port, not its DV I/O port. Importing Footage: EDIUS Broadcast has the ability to directly import P2 MXF files. While it is technically possible to drag files from your computer's desktop or Windows Explorer and drop them right into a bin or onto the timeline, this is not the recommended workflow. There is a much better way using the P2 Select tool. In the upper left corner, click the EDIUS menu, and choose TOOLS, and then P2 SELECT. (Alternately, you can choose CAPTURE and P2 SELECT; either way it will result in starting the P2 Select tool). The P2 Select window then appears. The P2 Select window shows available P2 cards, and clips that are on those cards. P2 cards (or volumes on a P2 Store) are shown by drive letter (in the above example, G: is an actual P2 card, and the name "ABD07A0328" is the serial number of that card). The list will also show various folders that have been added as "virtual P2 cards." To add a new folder to the available list, choose the Add Folder button. To view the contents of any folder or card, select it in that list. In the above example, we're viewing the contents of the card itself. Once you've selected a card to import from, you can choose which particular clips to import. Select the clips via thumbnail; SHIFT-click or CONTROL-click

workflow.
There is a much better way using the P² Select tool.
In the upper left corner, click the EDIUS menu, and choose TOOLS, and then P² SELECT.
(Alternately, you can choose
CAPTURE and P² SELECT; either way it will result in starting the P² Select tool).
The P² Select window then appears.
The P² Select window shows available
P² cards, and clips that are on those
