Adobe once again has changed the AE import approach for CS4. The plugin you have downloaded should work in CS3, but right now not in CS4. You need an updated plugin for CS4, which I would guess could arrive around the time of the next Media 100 release…
A workaround right now is to import the XML into AE CS3, save the project there and then open it in CS4. Not perfect, but works flawlessly. -
David,
there is a problem with QuickTime 7.6.2 (once again) with Media 100. The QuickTime engineers are very good at breaking other peoples workflows. I think there will be an update to fix that from Media 100 soon. Right now you either can get in touch with Wick or downgrade to QuickTime 7.6 in case you have the installer still somewhere.

Since you posted in the 844/X and Media 100 (Mac) forum, on which system do you work? And on which software version? The Mac-based systems come with a good manual that explains a huge amount of the workflow, and they are quite easy to understand, while the 844/X is much more comples and not as intuitive.

[CJ MacPherson] “If I take out the Kona board, do I still have Media 100 as software, or are they tied together?”
Currently not. Right now the encryption code of the software is tied to the board. This way you currently can move the board to a new CPU and continue working with your encryption code.
With V14 (or Media 100 Suite, as it is named as far as I understand), the software will be locked to a CPU, so that you will be flexible with the hardware (or with using the software without hardware) then. License the software to a machine, and use it with any hardware you want. The advantage is that you of course then can (e.g. on a Laptop) decide if you want to work with hardware (in the office) or without (on the road). But it gets more complicated to move the software license to a new machine…
Guess you cannot have a perfect solution…

[Jaeson Koszarsky] “Do 8-core work with Producer?”
Yes. And with the next release there only is a unified software version, which can be used with hardware and without. So if you invest into the new software, it does not matter if you decide to add e.g. an Aja card or Matrox box later.
[Jaeson Koszarsky] “But I do have a few things on some striped internal drives. Can those striped internal sata drives be put in an external box or another computer and remain intact? “
How did you stripe the drives? With DiskUtility? Or with a 3rd party software? If with DiskUtility, you should be able to simply put them into a differen MacPro and they should show up.

[Fermin Branger] “Can I do a Raid (0) arrange with 3 hard disks? “
Yes, you can do that with DiskUtility in Software or with the RAID card in hardware. But both ways, if one drive goes down, your data will be lost.
-
RAID 5 is not supported by DiskUtility. So you either need to get another software to format your drives as RAID5 (not sure if there is anything out there that does that reliably), or a hardware RAID card, which also will take care of the processing. There is an Apple RAID card (supporting RAID 5) for the MacPro, but it is $700, which I think is somewhat expensive.

Are you on iChat, or do you have an FTP server? I have a DiskImage of the 7.6 installer that I could send over to you via iChat or via http://FTP...

[Paul Crowe] “What should it be set to? “
It depends on which kind of signal you are feeding into the system. If you use a digital audio signal you can use the AES/EBU XLR connector; if you use an analog signal you should use the analog input. Not sure what signal your mixer sends out…
