importing from media 100i
This may be a real dummy question: I’m trying to import media files which were captured in media 100i to FCP. I’m trying the simplest method, choosing ‘import files’ in fcp and importing the files from my hard drive. The video files come over fine, but the audio files do not. No audio. I can’t figure out how to access compressor from media 100 if it can be done that way. Any help in regular english for dummies would be appreciated!

Hi Lynne,
It’s been a while since I’ve been near a Media100i, but if I remember correctly it stores the picture and sound in seperate files. On our old iFinish the audio files are .m1qa but should import as MOVs if you change the file extension. Check in the media folder on your selected audio disk (can’t remember where the selector is I’m afraid…) for the files then import them in – there are most likely two, one for each channel.
Hope that’s of some help.

But I think you’re going to be much happier if you don’t try to import the M100 files, even if you have the portable file reader from M100 or Boris.Instead, have your M100 operator export them in a conventional QT format. Be sure to save them to a Mac-formatted drive if you’re moving them around.
Be sure to check for advice on the Media 100 forum here on the cow.
