[mhh] “Have to agree with Greg. Not always 100% reliable with lots of unsynced clips. Sometimes the odd one is left out”
If you use “Select from Here” every single clip that starts after or on the CTI position will be selected.

16:9 Anamorph is what you are seeing. If you need to switch your Monitor to 16:9 to display the correct image you have an anamorph signal (the pixels are not square but stretched). Otherwise you have a 4:3 letterboxed image (16:9 with black bars, but always displayed at 4:3 ratio, and with the disadvantage of loosing the resolution you got with the anamorph 16:9 image).
[Michael Slowe] “On another subject I am now editing HDV (converted to DV for the time being) on Media100i and hope that after NAB there will be a magic solution (from somewhere, maybe not Media 100) which will make it possible to edit HDV on Media100 HD – any further thoughts on this?”
Media 100 is working on a FireWire support solution for Media 100 HD and sw. I don

I know that this does not really help you with Compressor, but BitVice from Innobits does compensate the levels to match the original Media 100 i or HD levels. They have an option called “StudioRGB” that does exactly that.

[CameronT] “Can the Media 100HD output 16:9 (SD)”
As Media 100 i, HD can output 16:9. I think you are mixing up some things there. If you shoot in 16:9 you will end up with 16:9 anamorph material, and Media 100 i and HD will output 16:9 anamorph. Probably you want to know if you can output the 16:9 material as 4:3 letterboxed (with black bars at the top and bottom)?!? Media 100 HD can do that, but it requires a “conform” render pass. For a 5 minute program this will take ~5 minutes to process.

[matt short] “Is this a common problem? I’m about to switch to OSX and I have alot of footage I’ll have to redigitize if thats the case.”
The problem is that most RAIDs cannot be transferred to OSX. If you have striped together HDs e.g. with Remus or the ATTO software you probably will not be able to access these RAIDs under OSX; the drives have to be reinitialized.
What works nicely is to put your media files e.g. on a FireWire drive or an internal (non-striped) HD that is formatted as HFS+ (which for some time was also the standard filesystem under OS9). These drives will be recognized correctly under OSX and media files from these drives can be used under OSX also (if the drives are fast enough; otherwise you have to move the files back to your RAID under OSX). -
[Michael C.] “You don’t want “select here in track”… you want “Select from here”. Command-H. “
No, it is CMD-ALT-H. CMD-H is “Select from Here in Track”.

Close Gap and Select from Here does work ALWAYS and 100% reliable as they are supposed to work.

[Jerome Robbins] ” since I have formatted the external discs witht the MAC set up when I switch over to the new computer will I be able to access media and projects stored on those drives?”
Yes, there should be no problems there.

You definitely should use files with straight alpha. There is no easy/correct way to use files with premultiplied alpha in HD; if you only have premultiplied versions I would recommend removing the backg in AE.

Either delete the clips and choose “Close Gap” (CMD-ALT-G) instead of “Close Gap in Track” (CMD-G). Or delete the clip, move the CTI in the gap and choose “Select from Here” (CMD-ALT-H) and drag everything to the left. “Select from here” is probably the most used shortcut in our company together with zoom in and out on the timeline.
