Content Browser 2.0 vs 1.0, change in distribution policy

[Ian Cook]

There is a help file that walks you through the operations. Each BPAV should be in its own folder. When you click on it it will get ID’d as an EX archive and get a little ‘EX’ overlay on the folder icon. Highlight your clips and right click–>Send to FCP.

The license emailed to you from the SCS site should be a standard non-expiring license. I just double checked and I got no 3 month warning and the license looks normal in the ‘About’ menu.

Ian, I’ve only got a Content Browser v1_1 dmg and two ReadMe Texts, E & J. Also the darn app won’t even open anymore so I can’t tell you what I see! Content Exporter also came in, what the heck is that? Might hav to try again.

if you launch 2.0 and go to the help menu there’s a compiled HTML file with updated 2.0 documentation.

you can download a .pdf of the ops manual/help at https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/contentbrowser

if it’s not launching, first try removing/reinstalling.. it should install fine on Lion/Mountain Lion

Sorry to be a pain Ian. I’ve managed to open the app by opening various windows. I can see my BPAV folder om my drive in the left hand side of the Explorer window. However, even with Live Logging, Preview and XDCAM Station Remote all open I can’t get any response regarding the BPAV file.

I don’t edit in FCP by the way, I prefer the wonderful Media 100. That needs QT.mov files for import, will I get those when I finally figure this thing out?

Ok, it sounds like you closed the app earlier by closing individual windows.

BPAV needs to be in a separate folder (since all card archives are labeled BPAV). If you put BPAV into a folder called ‘card 1’ and then click on ‘card 1 in the Explorer window, you should see your files, provided the files/directories have not been modified.

Hi Ian

How recent does the camera purchase need to be.. for a valid serial number..?

Thanks

Robin

PMW cameras shipping from March onwards will have a serial # in the box.

Fom March to June you can download a free serial # (with, I believe, at least two activations) at https://www.sonycreativesoftware.com/campaign/contentbrowser

I applied for one of the free serial numbers but I never received an email containing the number. No email of any kind, actually. That was about 3 days ago.
