P2Genie

What is P2 Genie?

P2 Genie is a small utility designed to make your P2 workflow easier. Insert your P2 Card, P2 Store, FS-100 (Windows only) or connect your Panasonic HVX-200 camera to your computer and P2 Genie will offload all your media to either an internal or external harddrive (or both) - all with the click of a single button (or none if you set it to "automatic"). Easy as that!

Flexibility

P2 Genie comes with two modes - manual or automatic. In the "automatic" mode P2 Genie will start offloading your P2 Card(s) as soon as they're inserted - and empty them afterwards, if you enable this option. This feature is a real time-saver and could save you a lot of money because of the need for fewer P2 Cards.

P2 Genie works with two distinct naming schemes - reelnumber and name&date naming allowing you to completely costumize the way you name and log your footage.

P2 Genie's unique "single folder" feature will ease your workflow by allowing you to import all your media into NLEs like Final Cut Pro by copying all media files into a single folder.

€25 Euros / $33 USD.

Select the platform you're interested in:

Windows version

P2 Genie is developed for Mac OS X by Anders Holck, and for Windows XP by Tony Lorentzen. Differences between platforms means that there are minor differences in both user interface and funtionality in the two versions. Buying the Mac version does not buy you the Windows version too - and vice versa. You can't transfer licenses from one platform to the other.

Support

When you buy P2 Genie you're entitled to free e-mail support, but all customers are encouraged to use the online forum located at p2genie.com/forum. Direct support for the Windows version can be sent to tony [at] p2genie.com and for Mac OS X version to p2genie [at] andersholck.com. Due to the risk of spam we've decided not to post direct e-mail links on this page. Sorry about that.
