A clip is recognized as incomplete when:

has been copied separately from one card and
then from another or other cards.
• A clip recorded on a multiple number of cards
has first been copied separately from one card
and then from another or other cards onto a hard
drive and then written back onto the P2 cards.
• A long clip lasting more than 5 minutes in the
DVCPRO HD format (10 or so minutes in the
DVCPRO50 format or 20 or so minutes in the
DVCPRO DV format) has first been copied to
a hard drive and then written back onto the P2
cards.
• Normally, thumbnails with the incomplete clip
mark are displayed side by side.
• If only parts of incomplete clips separated into 3
or more have been connected, the incomplete
clip marks will remain on the screen until all
the clips which make up the original clip are
connected.
