Ha! Thanks Floh
Must have been hiding there for probably some time now 🙂
I’ve been using M100 since Version 2.6, and with every newer version there’s more, but you stop diving in the new features after a while. Thanks for your answer.
(makes you wonder what more is there to discover…)
P.S. all P2 problems are solved with Suite 1.0.2, even the transfer speed is higher now.

Hi Wick & co,
any news on this bugfix?
I’m really handicapped here with no TC on the clips, combined with my (unique?) problem of being unable to use FCP-ingested clips (see https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/4/863836#863930 it makes working with P2-files impossible on my systems. Since we shoot everything on P2 nowadays, I’m in desperate need of this fix. I’d rather not work in FCP, but I’m forced tot do so now…..

Without wanting to provoke a FCP vs M100 discussing (there are already too many of them, brrr) I’d advise you to spend the small amount of money on upgrading to the suite, as a user of both NLE’s (M100 since V2.6 and FCP since v4) i must say that the latest M100 release is a big step forward. As an intuitive editor (don’t want to be bothered by too many functions) Media100 suite is much less ‘into your face’ than FCP is. I don’t see in the relative small advantages (in my view anyway) of snow leopard enough reason to abandon a trusted and stable workhorse as Media100.
I would say: Just stay at 10.5 a while and wait for the update for the Suite and buy the upgrade to the Suite ($595) and save the money for buying FCP ($999)

An update:
i have been able to solve the problem with errors on opening the XML file in M100. (Had to do with permissions on hard drives). It now opens but starts rendering the files. It interpret the files as SD, so it creates a 1080 (green) screen with in the upperleft corner the SD-sized image from the original file. Quit confusing. All settings are fine (everthing on 1080 etc etc) I tried several exports and imports with different export settings (xml versions and including metadata on/off )
Im ‘ in the middle of a huge project (15 films) so I’m not able to spend a lot of time testing every possibility. Seems that i’m stuck with FCP for now.
WICK: from your answer I understand that you have some options for me to test? Please let me know if you’ve got something, ok?

Did you and Wick receive the file I sent you? Just curious if the Yousendit arrived.
thanks

Thanks Floh and Wick for your responses.
I’ve been away from my set since this morning around 11, so just a moment ago I read the posts.
First thing tomorrow morning I will make a clip available to both of you.
I’m also very curious what could be going on here.John Twigt

UPDATE :
I installed V14 on the same startup disk as FCP, so the forementioned 1080p25 clips from FCP can be played in QT-player, so the codec is active.
When importing XML file M100 says immediately while trying to import the shots “are you sure you want to cancel the media import?” When choosing ‘no’ it just repeats over and over until you hit ‘yes’ and then the imported sequence is offline.
When I try to import the ingested files (QT flies from the FCP media folder) directly from the finder it gives a program error code -9077. The application now has crashed because all actions will result in a error code of -9077.What could be going on here?
I am seriously handicapped here, because I have a complete project ingested by FCP (including offline edits by another editor) and i am now forced tot stay within FCP. Not really my favourite NLE ….

Now that we can run FCP and M100 on the same disk, as you say, I will install V14 on the same disk and try again.
I suppose OSX 10.5..8. is suited for the (V14) suite V1?John Twigt

Hi Floh, I have all the codecs installed, as I said I did do the procedure before when running V12, so I’m baffled now.
I have the feeling that FCP does interpret the footage wrong while ingesting. The same footage when ingested in M100 isn’t 1080p25 but 1080i50! I don’t think this gas to do with codecs but with formats. Is there anybody out there with the same setup as I? (ingesting P2 footage (1080i) in FCP 6 and exporting this with XML to M100 V14?John Twigt
