Just out of curiosity: why are you going to FCP from Color? You can roundtrip easily from Media 100 to Color to Media 100 in V13 with the XML exchange. Nothing to worry about imports into Media 100, and you can even replace the rendered shots from Color easily on your sequence with the “Update program from XML” command.

G[Marc Hill] “Does anyone know if this will be the last update to version 13 ?”
With the next release announced for May, I am guessing (and only guessing and interpolating from the last couple of releases) that there are no further updates planned for V13. But I would expect that if something gets broken in e.g. a QuickTime, Kona or OS (pre Snow Leopard) update in the next couple of weeks, or if a serious bug gets discovered in V13 there could be an additional update.

[Jack Shepard] “Anybody have any suggestions on the best way to convert an HD 23.98 program into a SD 29.97 program. Is there a simple way to do it in M100 or do I have to do it as an export and do it through quicktime?”
You cannot do that in Media 100. You could do it in AE or in Compressor.

[Paul Crowe] “can anyone tell me if 13.0.2 is a free update for people with V13.0.1? “
Yes.
[Paul Crowe] “Also would started on V13.0.1 work okay on V13.0.2? “
Yes.

[Gregg Michaels] “I’m not sure if it was fixed in 13.0.2 “
Right now it not really is something that can be fixed, since it was designed to export bus 1 (although I don´t really like it). Hopefully a decision will be made to export Hardware Channel 1/2 instead of Bus1
-
Unfortunately currently if you export a stereo mix, you will only get Bus 1. I think it would be better to export e.g. hardware channel 1 instead of Bus1, but it looks like I was overruled on that. 🙁

[Bobby Mosaedi] ” Does 11.6.4 not run on os X leopard?”
I would guess it does not. And since you have problems, this most likely confirms it.
[Bobby Mosaedi] “The problem is that when I copied everything over, the date created changes and media100 does not link the media up anymore. Is there a solution to this? “
This should not happen. You should be able to copy Media 100 media files from one drive to another without any issues, with the systems relinking to the media files. We do that all the time. Is there something special about how you copied the files? Via Network? Or on local drives? The only thing I could imagine is that you copied it over the network using the SMB protocol, which can corrupt the files.

[bill page] “BUT….if I wanted to use the entire width and length of the photo, as it the two children file, how do I shrink that down to keep the entire image, from head to toes….. “
As I said, you will get black edges on the left and right. Create a new 640*480 image, fill it with black. Select all in the source image, copy it, paste it into the black image, and do a transform (CMD T) and drag on one of the edges while holding the Shift key to fit the image into your background. By holding the shift key you are making sure that you scale proportionally.

Try rereading my last post. Either you need to use only a part of the image, or you will have black bars on the left and right sides. Since the image is higher than it is wide, and since a TV is wider than it is high, you have to fit the image somehow into this aspect ratio; either you will cut of some parts at the top and/or bottom, or you will see a background left and right.

[bill page] “Question: to rescale files in photoshop, should files be ‘IMPORTED’via the import window, and as anti-alisa pict file into photoshop? I have just been opening photoshop,and thru the OPEN window I opened the files (without IMPORT) to rescale. “
That does not make any difference. Your files are 480*640 instead of 640*480. Since a TV is 4:3 (the image is wider than it is high) you need not only to rescale your images, but to also crop them (cut off parts at the top and bottom) to bring them into the right dimensions.
The best workflow probably would be to reopen your original files, to set your rectangular marquee tool to a fixed aspect ratio (4:3) and to create a selection within your images that shows what you want to see. Then crop the selection. Then rescale to 640*480, since you are in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
If you want to use the full image content, you could place it e.g. over a black background. To do this you would create a 640*480 image, filled with black. Then you would select your source image,select all, copy it and paste it into the black image. Then use the transform tool (CMD T) to scale and position the image as you need it.
