  • Switching from Media 100-844x to FCP

    Posted by Jim Sanders on January 29, 2007 at 3:56 pm

    Is there anyone out there who has switched over from Media 100-844x to FCP?
    I was wondering if there was an easy way to capture all my on-line media meta data found in 844x’s bins, e.g. clip name, reel name, source in and out timecode. It would be nice to simply batch digitize the lost project media in FCP?

    Please advise

    Thank you

    I tried various export possibilities for M100 bins, but didn’t find anything that worked for me. My work around was placing the clips on a timeline and exporting the program as a CMX EDL. That works. Hope this helps, until you find a better solution.

    Add 844x to one of the great systems killed all too young. Excellent product, horrible market awareness on the part of the company at launch.

    Put its grave right next to Discreet Edit.

    No ability to easily export bins was a problem with Media100 series as well. You actually had to select all items in the bin, copy and paste into a text editor. Then you could import as a tab delimited file into Excel for further massaging. When I migrated to Final Cut Pro I did exactly as Kim suggested. Drag the desired clips to a timeline and export a CMX edl.

    Thank you Kim, I figured that was what I was going to have to do. Thanks again
