Media100SW Work Flow

Double click on the clip in the bin and it will show up in the Edit Suite window. Uncheck any audio tracks you don’t want and drag the clip to the timeline. Only the video will show up and play in the timeline.

Best,

Thanks for the replay Harley.

Well…. this is the reason for the post. I can’t “uncheck” the audio boxes. I can uncheck A1, but as soon as I disable A2, V1 also disables. There is no way for me to just select Video. Once both audio channels are unchecked, it won

I don’t know if I completely understand what is happening, but if you have sync’d audio/video clips that you want to unsync and it isn’t working by the normal method (uncheck A1 and A2) you can try the following.

Select all the clips and drop then in a program timeline. Then, highlight them all and select unsync (command-y I believe). Then option-drag the all the video into a new bin (call it video only or something) and then you’ll have access to the unsync’d clips.

I don’t know why unchecking A1 and A2 is not working though. V1 should not dissapear when you do that. Let us know how it goes…

Ok… I’ll give that a try. May not be able to get back to it until Wednesday or Thursday. I’ll keep you posted.

Thank you very much for your help. Like I said… I’ve never edited with Media100 before. I’ve been a “Discreet” editor for the past 10 years… and recently, have been editing with FCP. So when this basic thing of unchecking did not work… I got very frustrated. Not knowing the program at all doesn

i’m confused

i have just finished a large editorial job with Mac Media 100 SW only and used FCP to digitise my rushes and quite often de-selected the audio to make a video only clip. and i did this in the edit suite panel.

maybe talk us thru the steps

I’m confused too…I tried to explain my situation in a very short post. I was confused just trying to explain myself. So

two things

yes the sw version it is waiting on getting native DV input.
when that happens it will be cool. but the full version is also worth checking out

in the media settings try motion jpeg 2 (apple M)
this seems to import fcp files quicker but yes there is a lag in import generally-

are you on a G5?

It’s already doing what you want, you’re just not seeing it. You UN-check A1 and A2. V is still checked. You aren’t allowed to uncheck V because then you’d have a clip with no audio and no video, which is pretty much nothing. So the application grays out the one remaining checkbox, but it’s still checked, meaning the video is still on. Now just click somewhere in the Edit Clip panel that isn’t a control and drag to your timeline. Or click the Apply button and your clip in the bin will be video-only.

To add dissolves or other transition effects you have to put the clips in Va or Vb. Well, you can vary opacity in V1-99 so you can do something that way.

Bringing FCP media into sw or HD should be much faster than real time. How are you doing that? There might be a bug in sw that forces some media to be converted to a different codec, and that takes time and disk space, but that will probably be fixed in the next version (sw is a beta release, remember).

This is the problem! The V does not stay “checked”! As soon as I uncheck the two A boxes… the V box unchecks itself and grays out! I know you guys are saying that’s not possible… but that is what it is doing!

[So the application grays out the one remaining checkbox, but it’s still checked]

Like I said… not for me!

Anyway, thanks for the tips!!
