Thanks Floh… I’ll check into that. I was just hoping that M-100 would have a smoother, integrated option.

Thanks Olof!

Sorry for the delayed response… there’s business happening! 😉

[Gary Stone]

Thanks for the responses…

Yes I can (and have) reimported the original P2 media. Since there was only 2 shots from that file, it was probably the quickest workaround.

What I did notice tho, is that the source media file name and reel name somehow has been renamed to “iStock+_iStock_-Diss”. I realize that the name comes from a rendered dissolve file generated from a couple of still images, but why – and how – did M100 do this? )And… is it possible to peek “backstage” anywhere to rewrite this?… At which point I’m sure to open up more problems.)

[Gary Stone]

Thanks!

Your prompt post confirms what I was able to conclude after having a few anxiety-ridden hours. (But not knowing that I would find the solution so easy, I had to start the process.)

The upgrade to M100 Suite 1.5.1 is the path of choice. I’m watching the footage import as I’m typing this response. Now I can get some rest.

Thanks again!

I too was lured to shoot 720 30PN only now to find that M-100 is not happy with it.

I have footage that I need to edit (and, of course… on a short deadline). The files show up in the import window, but the import button is grayed out. I’m using M-100 13.0.2.

Would importing through another NLE (FCP? Premiere?) be a solution or workaround (to covert to QT)?

[Gary Stone]

QT 7.5.5 spotted.
Qt 7.6 loaded.
BINGO! I’m back in bidness. Thanks for the solutions. Hope I can return the favor some time.

I guess the trial version of 12.7 will give me a week or so before it expires. After that, I’ll probably get current with v13. Are you using that yet? Any thoughts?

[Gary Stone]

Well… some good news, but I’m not sure if it’s all good.

I loaded up OS 10.5.6 onto a 2nd drive I had in the Mac Pro and the install brought over all my apps very smoothly. I then went to install 12.7 and I either don’t have the right code (I thought all v12 improvements were included with a v12 upgrade), but I was able to load it with the trial version.

The program loaded and launched, and I was happily looking forward to resuming some editing. But now it seems that my legacy SD footage is having problems; the system stops playing and tells me that there’s a bad frame at Time Code xx.xx.xx.xx. Some play a little bit & then stop and tell me I have a bad frame; other files won’t even show a still frame in the subsampler window.

Hmmmm….

[Gary Stone]

Thanks for the detailed info Floh…

Here’s where I’m at:

I’ve run the 5.1NDD AJA control panel and didn’t see anything that looked suspicious (although I’ve never seen this info before, so what I’m seeing is all new to me). I reinstalled M-100 12.1.3, and like you expected… nothing is different.

I placed an order last week for Leopard 10.5.6 so I’m expecting it to arrive this week. I just got back from NAB & felt the need to get the platform up to the current level. I’ll get back with you when I have some new results/info.

Your time and insights are always appreciated!

Gary

[Gary Stone]

OK!
What I know now is that I have full field color bars coming from the AJA card. (Nice to see all the options & settings available in the AJA control panel.)

Now that I know that it’s working, I should uninstall it an reinstall M-100, right?

[Gary Stone]

OK… that sounds like a good start.

Ive got a M-100 HDe with the AJA LHe board. The Mac Pro is running 10.4.11 but 10.5x shoud be here any day now and then I can start the migration up to the current release.

So you think any of the downloads for the LHe should work to test the board?
