Hi All,

Thanks so much for all of the information. I spoke with the client and after giving them my concerns about this they still want to try sending the spot via FTP. We also provided a Beta Cam Master and DVD and gave them a contact at a duplicator that will give them a good price since they are a charity, so they will have those options as well.

Big Brothers did speak with an Ad Agency they work with and apparently they have had some luck getting spots distributed via FTP, so it will be interesting to see how well that works out. It sure will be nice when a definitive standard becomes a reality.

Thanks again for all of your input.

Hi Floh, That’s kind of what I told them, as I had made them a Beta Cam Sp Master and a DVD, but they want to try a digital file over an FTP. I’ll re-advise them that tape is likely going to get them way more coverage since the Broadcasters are already doing them a favour and running the ad for free as a public service, they may not be so keen if they have to drop a file into their NLE and mess with it.

As always, Thanks for the Speedy reply

Hi Floh,

Thanks for the input. I think we’ll just go ahead and get a copy of Producer until we decide on buying the HDe or HD suite. This migrating to Intel based Mac’s is a little more complex and expensive than I originally thought. 🙂

Thanks Kieran and Floh,

We are actually considering a copy of Producer. Would I be correct in assumimg that we cold open old projects in Producer, make changes etc on the intel G5 and then reopen them on the G4 in Media100 i in order to master to Beta cam? Or do we need a more substantial upgrade to accomplish this? I’ve tried to read up on this at the media100 web site but I’m still a little confused as to what you can really do with Producer.
Any input is appreciated.

Thanks Again

Thanks Steve. We’ll be upgrading to CS3 at some point so I won’t worry about it too much.
I Just have to remember to save before any Hiding.

[Dave Simpson]

That certainly does help.
Thanks again Floh.

Okay, Thanks for the follow up. I’ll do that and test everything on my next export this afternoon.

cheers

Ah HAH! As you guessed I was trying to install it to Plug ins in AE. I just ran it on The G4 and it found it’s way into the correct folder.
Strange that it even worked at all without anything in that folder before.

Thanks again for the Help Floh.

cheers

Greetings Floh,

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried deleting the AE plug in that was residing in the plug ins folder, then tried to install the one currently available at the Media 100 website. When Installing it I get an error stating that it can’t find any After Effects folder even when I point it directly to the AE 7 folder or the Plug Ins folder. The Media 100 web site it says that it is for AE 6 and later But the plug in is actualy called the M100 OS X Plug-In for AE 6. I wonder if that’s the problem.

I can certainly work around this, but thought I would see if anyone else had run into this.
I wonder if someone emailed me a copy of the plug in I cold just drop it into the folder and see if that does it?

Thanks
