Hi David,

Check your transition settings – perhaps the “from/to” range is not 0-100.

Kevin’s suggestion is certainly one way to go, but there is another (isn’t there always?) If you have access to another Mac try connecting them via firewire and starting up your drive in Target Disk Mode. A much quicker way to see if your files can be accessed. Good luck.

Assuming your drives are powered on and still connected: open Disk Utility, select the drive/device from the list, and then click on the “Mount” button . That should do it. Good luck.

Check “Universal Access” in your system preferences – it’s happened to me when I got all thumbs and accidently hit the right key combination which turned on the Zoom feature… either that or you have a friend who knows how to turn it on and they’re playing a prank. If it’s not that, then I don’t know.

Toast Titanium 9 will allow your data to span multiple discs if required.

HTH.

Pete,

Yes, the color shift is there. The solution that has worked for me can be a bit of a pain, especially if you have a lot of transitions or freezes, but it does work. If the color shift you’re seeing is towards a green-ish hue then this procedure should work for you: create and render your transition/freeze as usual, split the timeline at the beginning and end of the transition/freeze (basically creating a separate clip), apply a ColorFX setting (Classic > tint +4) to this clip, and you’re good-to-go. You might want to save this setting in the ColorFx pane.

HTH

Zane,

I do see “composite” in/out, but I don’t see where it says “component” (RGB)

Floh, do you ever get it wrong? It doesn’t seem to matter what the question is, you’ve always got the answer! Despite the fact I’ve been using Media 100 since Data Translation introduced v.1.2 some 14 years ago, I’m learning something new all the time, and that’s a good thing… but my depth of knowledge of the system pales in comparison to yours.

[Floh Peters] “I like to have turned it off and to manually apply the changes I made.”

Up until today this is how I preferred it as well but I didn’t think it would apply to the graphics track in the timeline – I assumed it “automatically applied” to the clips in the bin only. Makes me wonder what the reasoning was behind introducing that feature. Can you offer any insight?

As always, thank you Floh… for this and all the other solutions you’ve provided to this forum over the years.

Respectfully yours,
Gary

[Mark Palmos] “Its pretty lame this seems to be about the only drive out there for mac.”

Not so. Check this out: https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/optical-drives/superdrives/

I’ve been using an internal Bluray drive from these guys for over a year now (data only) and it plays very well with my system. I don’t know if they ship overseas though. Good luck.
