  • transferring m100 project to fcp

    Posted by Todd Mcmullen on December 13, 2005 at 2:39 pm

    I am trying to move a project from m100 v8.2 to fcp. Can I do this with the clips that I have digitized in m100?
    Can anyone suggest a workflow to get all my bins and programs into fcp.

    All depends on what hardware software you have. If you have the P6000 card that is 720×486 you could get the Transcoder QuickTime components from Media 100’s FTP site. However, I don’t believe the M100 clips will play back without rendering.

    I you have a Vincent 601 card 640 x 480 your clips will go software when scaled up.

    It has be a long time since I made the switch, but I dragged all my clips down into one M100 timeline. Exported it as a CMX3600 EDL, imported into FCP and dragged the clips from the newly created sequence up into my Bin Browser. I then batch captured the clips native to FCP.

    You may just want to use your present M100 project timeline as a CMX3600 EDL so you just batch digitize just the clips you need in FCP. You could go back to M100 to pick up any other logged clips in a seperate M100 timeline.

    This question has come up regularly for the past three years so you might want to do a post search including the archives.

    I don’t know if you have XML support with M100 v8.2 so you might looked into that. I made the switch at M100 v7.5.

    I meant to say:
    If you have a Vincent 601 card–640×480–your clips will go soft when scaled up and you may have some inverted field issues.

    My apologies,
