There are also different ways to bring up the ColorFX window.
Is it just one particular way that’s failing, or all methods?

Is it possible it is appearing, yet in a different screen space?
Use the Mission Control app in the applications folder to view all spaces and all windows.

Strange that it’s not working now when it was before…

Aside from the re-install, you could try trashing preferences, and see if that makes any difference.
On my system they are found in Macintosh HD -> Users -> [Myusername] -> Library -> Preferences -> Media 100 Suite Preferences.
If the library folder is hidden, you can toggle in the finder between showing or hiding hidden files and folders with the keyboard shortcut: APPLE + SHIFT + FULLSTOP.
And of course, by fullstop I mean a dot or period or whatever you wish to call it – ” . ”

Answered you here, ☺ … https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/4/868427#868429

Yes, =).

Here’s a video of me testing it out in October 2018:

I had one easy to fix bug when media was on APFS formatted hard drives,
and have not yet met or heard from anyone else that’s had the same bug,
so it may have just been because I was booting Mojave from an external USB drive.

There is a poll on the Media 100 Facebook Group, about which MacOS version Media 100 users are using.
Thirteen people have responded to the poll so far,
and one person was using MacOS 10.14, three people were using MacOS 10.14.1 and one person was using MacOS 10.14.3 – so that’s five people happily running Media 100 on MacOS Mojave.

GUESSING…

My guess is that Pro Res is always 10bit and Media 100 edits in the native codec, not changing that.

What about ColorFX? What bitdepth does that support?
A lot of legacy effects have been carried over from Media 100i – so I would guess the “classic” options would be processing in 8bit.
RGB Levels were introduced with Media 100 HD (I believe – I could be wrong) which supported 10bit uncompressed.
I’d guess they would process in 10bit. Or did they overhaul all of ColorFX to process in 10bit?

If you say Boris Red has settings for bit depth, that at least is encouraging.
It implies the filters could work at those bit depths, and then render the results back to the 10bit codec.

KNOWING…?

Guess, guess, guess, guess, guess… =).
It might be good to actually know, =).
Am guessing someone technical from Media 100’s past development may have more insight.

Am curious to know this too, after Rawn’s previous comments.

Hello, Steve.

Media 100 still works in Mojave.
It hasn’t been fully tested in Mojave, so the official word is try it at your own risk, however, I haven’t had anyone report any problems with it yet. When I tested it myself though, I was booting Mojave from an external SSD that became formatted to APFS during the process. I found as long as my media drives were still HFS+ hard drives, all worked well. However, trying to use APFS drives as my media drive, resulted in it working fine until rebooting, and then Media 100 not being able to find the media unless you manually relink to it.
Here’s the video I made about it last year:

Hope that helps! =).
I’d be curious to hear how you get on, if you do give MacOS Mojave a try! =). It can be pretty cool seeing the Media 100 file menu and context menus switch to dark mode, even if the windows themselves remain light.

Congrats on getting the code from a sticker on the card! Someone (maybe you yourself, many years ago?) had great foresight! =).

If you ever get stuck again, MacVideoPromo, the current marketeers of the free Media 100 Suite 2.1.8 ( available for free via https://www.media100.com ), have the ability to generate serial numbers for older Media 100 software from the board number. You can simply email Rich via this form: https://www.macvideopromo.com/pages/contact-us and take it from there, =).

I made a tool a few months ago, to help edit the XML export from your timeline.
It simply finds all media paths and file names in the XML, and lets you edit them if you wish,
and then generates a new XML file for download with the media file names changed.
If it’s useful at all…

Media 100 captures them to the Media Folder ready to edit in its editor – this is why they are separate files.

If you want them all in one file, you should use the Media 100 file export option to export them into single files.
You’ll likely have to lay out what you wish to export in a program window first [File->New->Program…] and then export [File->Export->Files…].
