Todd,
The ‘n’ stands for native. As in recording only the native frames to 30p (or 24p) instead of recording all frames into a 60i stream and flagging the frames to be ignored or removed by the NLE. For now Media 100 cannot deal with 720p30n. Really the only work around is to cut in another NLE or run the footage thru Compressor to bring it back to 59.94 (which is 30p with 2:2 pulldown).
The major advantage to shooting native is that you can get more footage on your cards since you are only recording those native frames.

Shane,
Sorry. Its a Kona LHe card. We are primarily running it for a Media100 HD suite (hence my modified nomenclature) We can ingest P2 to Media 100, but you must ingest the entire clip and cannot monitor audioWe have FCP on the same system, which we have used to deal with AVC-I. Its the first time I have tried importing DVCPro material. The P2 material is 720p30 (not native). I have tried a couple of different “easy setups”, but they seem to be oriented to tape based capture. They have all been 720p setups.
I am wondering if we are missing some “easy setups”.

Floh,
That was it. Thanks.

David,
I don’t know if the uninstall has anything to do with it, but I had to read the release notes
(pg2 “Upgrading from previous version”) several times to see that they want you to run the V13 installer first and select uninstall from that installer before installing the Suite. It may be worth going thru the process again. -
Vince,
Thanks for giving this so much thought. I am using a blackmagic card, but mostly just for the video and editing with internal audio using headphones. As soon as any clips get on the timeline everything is fine, its just the source monitor issue. Once I set the channel mapping and drop a clip into the source monitor I can view the waveform, just can’t hear it. If I don’t map anything, I can select channel 2 in the source monitor (after first selecting waveform) and can monitor. Its like something I am doing when I map down to that one channel that is causing this problem…

Vince,
Thanks for responding. I don’t think I am explaining myself very well. For the gig we’re cutting now we only have audio on ch 2 of all the P2 media. I thought I could just use mapping to drop out all the other tracks so I didn’t have to manage them in the timeline. But I think I am suffering from a fundamental misunderstanding of the logic behind the management of audio. In mapping the other tracks out I loose the ability to hear channel 2 audio in the source window. It seems that the source monitor is looking to play audio from a track that is mapped out.
If I leave two tracks enabled in mapping (Ch1 with no audio , and ch 2 with our field audio) I can at least use the selection feature to pick the track. But that requires toggling from composite video to waveform and then selecting the track for every clip you bring through the source monitor. I can’t imagine that is really how this is supposed to operate.
If you can point me in the right direction…

Marten,
I have found no solution to date. Still hoping someone out there has something for us. I can play back clips directly in the bin with audio, but as soon as they drop into the source window its MOS. Same on two separate systems.

Ralph,
That’s the beauty of this script…you don’t have to write it. If you have your bin selected and just go to the script icon pulldown menu and select that script a dialog box will pop up and tell you the duration of clips in that bin.
-
you can run a script that comes with M100 that is called something like “sum of bin durations” which will give you the combined length of all the clips in any bin. Is that what you are trying to do?

Any way you could post at least a still image to evaluate?
