Figured it out. There is a popup in the export window Codec settings. One of the options is “Interlaced”. Check that and it turns exports a PsF progressive clip. That is the way Media 100 sees it, and it shows up on all the monitors in Source and Program windows.

Thanks, Floh. Good Information.

Floh, assuming that I do my edit in Media 100 in ProResHQ at 23.98 1080p, is there a way to get Media 100 Suite 2.1 to play out that timeline at 1080i 29.97 via AJA LHi hardware? I would be recording from one AJA system to another, as I described. Could I do a conversion on the audio only? I would think there would be sync problems. I suppose I could do a software conversion to 1080i 29.97, but I have always heard that AJA hardware was better. Another option would be to XML out of Media 100 to FCP 7 and drop it in a 1080i 29.97 timeline. There will not be a lot of effects or strangeness going on as it is a documentary. Any opinions would be welcome.

After rechecking my work from late last night, when I “Imported to Media Standard and Codec” into 29.97 it did work on a 29.97 timeline, both audio and video. When set to 23.98, it didn’t, of course. My problem is that I want to edit at 23.98 progressive, the native format of all of my EX-1 and Nikon D7000 H.264 footage. Also because it will look better on the internet and general progressive delivery. I want the 29.97 for conversion to DVD and cable/broadcast. I have been doing my reviews and and selections in Premiere, where it isn’t necessary to convert everything to ProRes first. I then exported the selects (just 20 clips so far as a test) as ProRes HQ 23.98 1080p. Am hoping to use this material to do the final in M100 Suite 2.1, as I prefer editing in M100 and find it to be more stable. But now I find I can’t get M100 to allow the material into a 29.97 timeline without converting all of the material to 29.97 1080i. In order to proceed I may have to do the edit, in FCP where I can easily move between standards. Any ideas on how I could simplify this other than Media 100 accepting standards I am using (hopefully in the future?)? Is there any way to get 29.97 1080i out of this footage without reconversion of all the video, perhaps just the audio (with sync)?
BTW, I have two AJA systems, one 2010 MacPro with Media 100 Suite 2.1, FCP 7, and Premiere 5.0 and 5.5. One can only run FCP 7 with AJA as it is an AJA ioHD on a new MBP 17. Could use ioHD as a FCP recorder or FCP feeder. I can do lossless dubs incuding conversions between the two via SDI. This was going to be a potential part of my workflow. Thanks for reading all this.

If you have a Nikon D7000, go back to 5.0.x. PP 5.5.x broke native H264 .mov Nikon playback on several cameras. I find that easier than messing with file names. When I need a feature of 5.5, I just move the material over to 5.5 as ProRes, or translate to ProRes and edit with Media 100 Suite or FCP 7. Pain in the rear.

Looks like they are still taking usage input there. If the power requirement is low enough I think I read Magma had ~200w, a one slot card like the NVidia 4000 might work, Thunderbolt is certainly fast enough. They are saying it would support video capture cards.

If you don’t get anything here, try calling AJA support. They are very good. (530) 271 3190

Thanks for the advice. I have used Bridge, and of course it will do a batch rename. Renaming is only useful while you are in the Adobe environment. I have had problems when moving renamed files to other software I use. Not to mention the confusion. Just don’t want to see this issue overlooked. I have been informed by top people at Adobe that it will be fixed. For people on the Mac, i.e., new Final Cut users actively seeking a replacement, possibly several hundred thousand of us, keeping that .mov extension on there is crucial to our workflow. Hopefully before we have to pay (again) for 6.0. For now I am moving back to 5.0 for anything using our Nikon D7000’s. It works fine, Nikon support was only broken with the 5.5 release.

Improvements like this could be done without.
re: Wait for 6.0? “I don’t know”
Please make it a priority. It would be a real bummer to pay three times for the primary capability you bought the software for.
Thanks for your attention to this and your help with everything else.
