Hi Robert

Yea the 16mm movieolas were film eaters – the 35’s were golden though. For 16mm I bought a Showchron with 2 sound plates and one picture. That worked great and it cost a lot less than the Steinbeck’s etc. The picture wasn’t as bright but it was easier to use. The president of that company was one of the lead comedians from the Firesign Theater.

Bob Zelin has it right with the Sonnex card for USB 3. My 12core can handle the speed on the mother board. I will have to see if I can go up one OS level to 10.8 from the Apple website to get it to work.

I definitely wouldn’t pick up any speed looping through a firewire drive but it would probably work for backing up data which is all I really need at the moment.

Thanks for replying.

Hey Robert
I did enjoy editing on Steenbecks but they actually weren’t that much easier with a trim bin full of misc out takes to search for when the client changed his mind and those grease pencil dissolves. I still have a 35mm upright movieola that I keep near by. When a render is taking a few minutes longer than a client likes I point to it and describe what editing use to be like.

At least their wasn’t a new version of software every few weeks that might or might not work with them.

To keep everything working I have locked my OS at 10.7 and all of the previous shows and commercials that want to be re-cut (mostly infomercials that need the offer to change every 6 months) can be reloaded and edited easily in FCP7 or even Media 100 which still works great. Some of these shows have sold over $2.5 Billion worth of product so they still have value.

The drives are mostly for backing up data from shows and re-installing on my larger faster raid. So USB3 would have really helped speed up that process.

Thanks for the response!

Thanks Bob
I think that all my slots are full – but let me know if you think this would work:

I found a drive that has both Firewire 800 and USB 3 etc. What if I looped through one of those – Firewire 800 to MacPro
then connecting the clients USB 3 drive to that?

Here’s the one I found on Amazon – looking for others though:

Thanks Floh
Just had the same problem, found this post, found the prefs, deleted them and it boots up again.

THANKS for all you help to Media 100 Editors through the years!!

Thanks Michael
The digitalrebelllion repair software did the trick and I didn’t even loose my dozen or so presets.
Thanks again!!

Thanks David
Worked like a charm. But remember the days when we just dragged the prefs into the trash and opened the program again…

Hi Floh
That’s a little obscure but it worked and the M100 HD render looks great – a lot better than what I was doing in AE.
I really need to learn the Motion Editor better.

Thanks!!
Long live Media 100

Thanks Tom!!
I looked all over pretty much everywhere for something that mentioned anything about “Royalty Free” etc. Looks like you found it buried in a promo website.

The info for each song gives the copyright to Apple. With your info from the web I am guessing that they weren’t just included with the program for practice.

Thanks Again

That was it. Log & Transfer – not just transfer.

The Sony details about what the software does is a bit sketchy esp. on their Canadian website. The main Sony link you gave me is down until Sept 6 so I had to find the version using Google – found it on their Canadian site.

info comes up with the version on the XDCAM transfer app that I am using on my mac pro as 2.7.1. I tried 2.12 first on the macbook and had the same non function. I was just wondering if a macbook needs another driver or something else for quicktime.

Thanks for you help!
