Did you ever fix this?

Googling the same issue in 2016.

[Tim Voelker] “The only option that’s close is 1080psf 23.98, but that won’t playback through HDMI for me.”

Oh wait – does it otherwise work fine with the timeline, – you just can’t see it via HDMI?
If so, you probably need to set the output to progressive somewhere, as I’m getting the impression psf can be either progressive or interlaced.
Does the option exist in the Video Output preferences? Or elsewhere?
Again, am a little ignorant about psf, and this post merely represents a bit of amateur guesswork, =S.

[Andrew Mehta]

Damn. That’s frustrating, if it plays fine in the bin.
Media 100’s timelines really need to be more flexible in the resolutions and framerates they’ll support.

What happens if you try a 1080p 23.97 timeline?
What happens if you make a composition clip in the 1080psf 23.98 timeline, double click it to open up Boris Red, and add your footage as a video track in Boris Red, and save back to Media 100?
I’m new to learning the difference between 1080p and psf, although from a few google results, it appears psf just offers more versatility if you later decide to output your progressive media as interlaced, due to the segmented fields in progressive segmented field/psf.
What’s the audio like? Sometimes, when my media hasn’t been accepted onto a timeline, it’s due to the audio settings being wrong, rather than the video.

Obviously, I’m a bit clueless, and just asking questions instead of giving you a solid answer or solution to your problem.
There are options to ignore framerates when importing, and that may enable conversion to an accepted framerate upon import.
Or there are others apps you could use to convert to an accepted framerate prior to import.

I’m really coming with no wisdom on the topic here, so if you experiment, let us know what you discover, and I’ll also share this post on the Facebook group, to see if anyone else is any wiser, – but yes… a wider range of resolution and framerate support is definitely on my requested features list, =P.

Although I haven’t yet captured videogame footage at 60fps, most gaming media for Youtube is 1080p 60fps these days, and that’s not a Media 100 option either, =P. That may be a problem for me, in the future, =S.

Sorry I went a bit crazy in my reply Jack – you probably already have Media 100 & Red.

Floh – although most effects are included in Red anyway – if you did buy filters you were lacking, could you actually use them in Red?

[Andrew Mehta]

Here’s what’s in the BCC Unit – Color & Tone:

Here’s what’s in my Media 100 Suite 2.1.6 [accessible via the Boris Red 5.1 plugin it came with]:

….so all you’d be missing out on, is VideoScope, from the looks of things.

I don’t believe Boris Red accepts BCC plugins – instead, Red 5 already has BCC7 and FEC6 filters in it. Whereas the latest version of BCC is BCC 10 which has all the cool Mocha stuff in it, which isn’t in Red yet. So Red basically has the BCC filters from a few years ago – they sort of trickle down to Red. Latest version of 64-bit Red is 5.6, the last 32-bit version was 5.4 I believe.
Slight problem is that new versions of Boris Red are now going to be 64bit only, while Media 100 remains 32bit, with a 32-bit version of Red as a plugin.
MacVideoPromo are bundling Standalone 64bit Red with Media 100 Suite – yet the version that works from the Media100 timeline, is still the 32bit version atm. So if Boris Red 6 eventually comes out and has BBC8 filters in it or something, it won’t be immediately accessible from the Media100 timeline – although you could always run it standalone, and export out.
On the plus side – as you can plainly see, Media 100 Suite (Media 100 & Boris Red 5.1) already has a tonne of BCC filters, and FEC filters, and other filters too, =D. Tonnes to use, ? – we’re rather spoilt for choice. All free to download right now, for a 60 day trial: https://www.media100.com/pages/try-media-100-free-for-60-days

Michael asked a few days after you Andy, and apparently Doug has loaded it successfully on a laptop, although not done serious testing, and Ed is claiming it works fine. That said, I don’t believe there’s been any internal testing, so it’s up to us users to give Boris & MacVideoPromo feedback if it’s working okay or has any issues, =S.

Didn’t mean to alarm.

Exporting files to Quicktime works fine.
It’s just the checkboxes under the “Size” options that don’t work.
I’ve had problems with the de-interlacing checkbox.
Gerry has had problems with the Preserve Aspect Ratio Using Crop option.

The file still exports fine – those two settings are just ignored when in Media 100.
If you need those settings – you can open an exported file in Quicktime Player 7.6.6. and then export again from there, where the checkboxes mentioned do work.

Are you using an external monitor / additional screens?

I get a weird thing where I can see the outline on my Macbook Pro screen, and then I don’t see the outline on my external VGA monitor when I have it connected.

When I really want to see it, I either switch on mirroring, or I just move my timeline window over to the Macbook Pro screen, and outlines appear. Or I unplug my external monitor, ;-).
I’m having this issue with a VGA monitor. I haven’t tested with a HDMI monitor.

I made a little video here:

Glad to hear everything’s looking good DV wise, at the moment, =).

On HDV…
…well, I’m gonna guess Apple Pro Res 422 would be fine for the codec.

I’m guessing you’ll always see the lines from interlacing, if the footage is interlaced, and the screen you’re viewing it on is progressive (as most computer monitors are).
The lines won’t be there, when the footage is played on a TV screen that supports interlacing (I believe all TVs do).
An interlacing problem could still be visible on a TV however, if the field order was set incorrectly at some stage in the process.

If your HDV footage is 720p, then it’s progressive, and will look fine on both TVs and computer monitors.

Still, those are guesses (I’m inexperienced with HD), and hopefully someone with a HDV camera, can chip in, and let us know how they handled this.

I wonder if the DV footage you didn’t notice any problems with, was progressive, or whether it was interlaced, and was just being played back as progressive by your computer program, so it wouldn’t look strange on screen? Or did you view the DV footage on an external monitor/TV?

[Andrew Mehta]

In my experience,
the de-interlace tickbox, and cropping options on Quicktime Exports in Media 100 (i.e. the options associated with the Export to Other: Quicktime Movie radio button) simply do not work.
To get de-interlacing to work, I export a By-reference Movie (although you could also export a self contained if desired) and then open it up in Quicktime Player 7 ( downloaded from here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL923 ). From Quicktime Player 7, I go to File->Export…, select “Export: Movie to Quicktime Movie” and hit the “Options…” button, and I get the same option dialogue box I would get within Media 100, if I had hit the “Options…” button next to Media 100’s Export to Other: Quicktime Movie radio button, except in Quicktime Player 7, the size options, including the “De-interlace source video” tickbox, actually work – so I export my file through Quicktime Player 7.

I have only noticed this problem since upgrading from OSX Leopard to OSX Mavericks.
In short – I believe that on newer MacOS operating systems, the Quicktime Export options within Media100 are a bit unreliable. I’d export the file as simply as possible from Media 100, and then handle things like de-interlacing in another program – in my case I used Quicktime Player 7.
Marcus, as you read, recommends MPEG Streamclip.
I’m sure there must be other programs too.

Floh of course is the sensible professional – I didn’t even stop to think deinterlacing could lose resolution, XD. I just think of progressive as standard for the web, and computers, and modern screens, =).

Perhaps not converting DV at all, is the best way to archive it? I typically run DV into Media100 using Firewire, (I have a thunderbolt to firewire adapter that works well) and use the DV codec.

I have little to no experience with HDV, so can’t say much there, although I’m aware Media 100 does have a HD Firewire HDV option under Source In – so that presumably allows you to capture the HDV. The DV codec is SD only, so great for archiving DV, yet inadequate for HDV. My guess is that one of the HD codecs is the way to go, and Apple ProRes sounds like it should do the job. So I guess, export from Media 100 as it is, and do your deinterlacing in another program, or leave it interlaced.

Can the deferred HDV acquire option be used, to keep digital copies of original HDV?
Does Media 100 store the original files in a temporary folder anywhere, before they are transcoded?

There are some old FireStore DTE devices which attach to a firewire connection, and write incoming HDV to a harddrive or compact flash card, without touching the codec at all, so you get the same quality as on the tape. You could do this, and then just copy the clips from the DTE hard drive or compact flash card to whatever storage you’re saving all your exports to. Of course, it won’t be quicktime – however, it will be archived HDV.
