Boris Composite Suite filter?
All of a sudden my HDe system can’t find the Boris Composite Suite filter on older titles – and by “older” I mean two months. I finished a program at the end of June using v11.6.2, installed v11.6.3 a couple of weeks ago, built new titles since then without any problem – but when I tried to edit existing titles in the old program, a dialogue box comes up that says: “Could not edit the composition because the Boris Composite Suite Filter plugin was not found.” When I checked the plug-ins folder in the Media 100 folder it says the plug-in is there. I tried re-installing Media 100 but that didn’t help. Trashed the Boris preferences – no go. Any other suggestions?

Go directly to the applications/media100 folder. Launch Media 100 directly from that folder and not the dock. Then try to edit a comp. If this happens you are launching the incorrect version either from an alias or the dock.

Thanks for your reply Dave, but just minutes before I read your post I was able to solve the problem. I’m guessing somewhat here, but it seems that I had originally built the titles when I had a trial version of RED 4 on my system (I already own RED 3). A couple of weeks back when I was opening a project and wanted to do some title work, I got a dialogue box saying that the trial version of RED 4 had expired so I deleted the RED 4 filter from the filters folder. I just now finished buying and installing RED 4 and all is good again. So, it seems that one is able to install and use a trial version of RED for Media 100 without having an “X” over the titles – but once the trial period expires it’s “pay up or else…”

“once the trial period expires it’s “pay up or else…”
Your first post said you couldn’t edit existing titles. Well, those titles had been edited in RED. I don’t know how the software could edit a RED title without RED. You’re free to create a new title with Graffiti.

Yes, I’m aware that I could have re-created the titles using Graffiti, but I have been considering buying RED for some time now and this was the push that helped me make that decision.
