Cannot import 720P/30PN files to Media 100

[Gary Stone]

I too was lured to shoot 720 30PN only now to find that M-100 is not happy with it.

I have footage that I need to edit (and, of course… on a short deadline). The files show up in the import window, but the import button is grayed out. I’m using M-100 13.0.2.

Would importing through another NLE (FCP? Premiere?) be a solution or workaround (to covert to QT)?

Well, you could upgrade to the latest version, it can now handle PN footage. But you could use FCP of course (version 6 or higher) or use Compressor to convert the footage to 720P (in fact doubling the amount of fields and filesize)

hope this helps

Thanks!

Your prompt post confirms what I was able to conclude after having a few anxiety-ridden hours. (But not knowing that I would find the solution so easy, I had to start the process.)

The upgrade to M100 Suite 1.5.1 is the path of choice. I’m watching the footage import as I’m typing this response. Now I can get some rest.

Thanks again!
