Avid makes editing footage captured with Panasonic cameras using P2 cards fast and easy. Avid systems use the same native MXF file format as Panasonic P2 memory cards, so there’s no transcoding, digitizing or file conversion process of any kind. You can edit directly from the P2 card or from a drive. Nothing could be simpler - or more immediate.
