Not sure why it would be off his machine after it was installed except if it were deleted. If you don’t have proper credentials for the app, like you were refunded or something, then he wouldn’t be able to update, but I don’t think it would uninstall.
Log in the app store and “view my account” to see if the purchase was hidden.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Yes, the event viewer’s scrubber is still in the event. It would be nice to actually scrub the viewer. “
Yeah. Also would be nice to have a separate time code display for the event viewer and display for tc in and tc out (and then an in to out total that is displayed when you set i and o). Current tc is probably fine where they have it in the middle. In and out tc and range tc need to be added somewhere.
I love the idea of the film strip under the event viewer that has been posted on the feature wishlist. I find that one of the biggest disconnect for a new user is setting rough IOs in the event. If they rely on timecode, they have 3 places to look at the same time; the film strip in the event, the tc reader in the middle, and the event viewer window. You get used to it, but it is difficult to start and could be much faster.

Using that method, are multiple users able to access the same camera archives at the same time?

[John Heagy] “This really needs to change in order to support not only truncated video tape captured clips but LTO partial restores. I’d like to see metadata determine linking not just UUID/filename/path. This would be user selectable. One guess what I’d select 🙂 “
Not only for restore, but for archive. It needs to be able to export a media managed project with used media and handles. Our long form projects which come from live ingest media have clips that are about 5 hours long. With LTO6, we are getting closer to being able to save those files forever, but still it is a ways off. Maybe LTO8… When one show references over a TB of media, but uses only 50 or 60 GB of that, it is impractical to media manage everything. It’s cleaner, but impractical. If I’m able to back up the complete file elsewhere, then perhaps the media manager just isn’t necessary.
None the less, a method to media manage ala fcp7 “used media with handles” is needed and seems to be related to an ability to recapture with just used media.
If you could create a new project that would only reference used media. Even if that media was offline, then you could create an offline xml of that with offline children, and then go about the recap from the xml. It needs the reel info though as stated by you above.

Jeremy,
Is there a way to export an XML out of x with offline info and feed that back to Aja vtr xchange so that files get captured back to where they were deleted? It would require that reel info made the trip into fcpx initially and then came back out through the XML. Also, it would require a means of parsing the XML and presenting the relevant info to Aja vtr xchange.

[John Heagy] “I would argue that tape is far from EOL and Apple, as is typical, forced the issue. I swear Apple engineers must get bonuses based on cutting “legacy” tech from apps.
We’ll find a way around it, but again, to say not much is lost as far as tape goes is not true from our stand point.
“John,
See my other post with explanation. I don’t want tape capture married to an NLE in the future. I want it separate in a centralized location and stored as metadata and exportable to other tape capture mediums in the future. Having said that you know as well as I that we have tons of old tape from the 80s and 90s that is rotting. Those need archived digitally. Further reason for me to want tape capture, and just as important, “tape capture metadata” stored outside of the nle. It’s now clear that an NLE also has a “shelf life”.
I’m actually seeing lack of tape capture inside of the app as a positive rather than a negative. (I know some people are cursing me saying to put the kool aid down.)

I too am interested.
The tape issue is difficult. John, I think you said “no mam” (media asset management system). We are looking to centralize here.
We are looking to overhaul our tape capture process to make it NLE or video app agnostic. The idea that we are leaning towards is using tools on air justin, the softron stuff or aja vtr exchange or even bmd media express and gleaning tape metadata from the app and keeping that in the mam. Then when or if the source asset has been deleted and we need it back, we are looking for a clever means of pushing that data back from the mam to the capture program for recap.
My thought process here is that we use assets in more than just the nle. IE after effects c4d etc. if a tape sourced asset is missing from AE and I used fcp7 or whatever to capture, but have no means to recollect which project was used, what good does it do? I recall that some reel metadata was stored in the QT, but I’m not certain that would be found in offline info in other apps outside of fcp7.
So we want the mam to look backwards and forwards. It should be able to say, this came from tape and here’s the bar code, and this went to lto6, and here’s that barcode…

[Jeremy Garchow] “Just curious, but why?
Speed? Creative? “Cost”?
You are one of us weird one who actually like it? ;)”
All of the above + growth potential. Also, I find that editors who get actual exposure to it using it for work fall in love with it.
It’s by no means perfect, but is growing in the right direction and is useable now.

I don’t have time to read the rest of this thread. We use it for broadcast materials. We will be using it increasingly more this year.
