Batch Re-acquire problems.

[Gregg Michaels]

I typically capture audio via sdi, which is what media100 is setup to do now. This particular timeline has no audio, just visuals. There is audio on the source footage, and I can digitize it through normal capture process via hdsdi-2. I’m going to do more testing of variables to see what happens. Did you try using an older timeline to test? I’ll try doing something fresh just to see if that works.

OK, it’s definitely the timeline. I can digitize new clips from the same source footage via hdsdi-2. Place them into the old timeline. Trash the media files, and then proceed to reacquire. No problems. When I select the original clips to reacquire, I get the loss of signal error. Again, I’m not dead in the water here, as I have a workaround, but something strange is going on with this timeline.

Hi Gregg,

I’ve got all the same stuff so… it’s a nearly apples-to-apples comparison. Nearly, because I’m on Snow Leopard, but I’d be surprised if that’s the issue.

The only way I can get the “Can’t Record4” error to come up is to intentionally set SDI 2 to “SD SDI 2” but that makes no sense to me ’cause you say you can then acquire manually just fine. If I set up to fail, I still have to fix the incorrect setting in order acquire manually.

I’m beginning to wonder if your Preferences are corrupted. Go to YourUserFolder/Library/Preferences… and delete the folder named “Media 100 Suite Preferences”. While you’re there, delete any older M100 Prefs folders you may see and also delete the file named “com.Media100.Media100Suite.plist”.

Then, create an all new Project and bring the Progam(s) in question into the new Project and try batching again.

That did it Wick! I’m even capturing with the old project. I did find some old preferences in there from previous versions, so I trashed those too. Wow, the old corrupt preferences does it again. Haven’t had that one in a long time. I would have tried that earlier, but the system has been very stable with no other issues. Well, thanks for all your help, this is why you make the big bucks.

Thanks Floh.

Have a good holiday guys.
