Thanks Floh. I actually ended up exporting the file out of Media 100 Suite and opening it in Adobe Media Encoder. The resulting mpeg2 file was really nice! I’m just wondering if Compressor would have yielded even better results. Thanks again!

Thanks Floh. Our current server for broadcast requires the .MOV file to be converted to .MPEG2 for broadcast. Our workflow out of Media 100 Suite is to export the project, Compress and burn the project to DVD through DVD Studio Pro, and then import the DVD into Corel Video Studio Pro to produce the MPEG2 file for broadcast on the server. Since there are so many steps involved, I’m trying to retain as much quality as possible. I had a previous SD 16X9 project that I simply dropped into a letterbox 4×3 timeline in Media 100 Suite, and it worked well. In this case, with the HD project, I’m hoping to use the best settings for both exporting to .MOV, Compression, and eventual burning in DVD Studio Pro. My last step would be the encoding into Corel Video Studo to create the .MPEG2 file, and then dropping it into our server for broadcast. Thanks as always!

Hi Peter. We’ve been using Panasonic AY-DVM63PQUS tapes for quite a while for our SD projects. Now our producers are looking towards HD projects, and looking for Pro HD tapes. We’re running some older GY-DV’s, but need to start getting a consistent HD supply. I’ll be very interested to see any recommendations!!

Unfortunately the footage was not held on to, but fortunately we’re only dealing with this one source slip and hopefully won’t run into the issue again as the project goes along. All of the other clips look fine when brought down into the timeline. Is it possible that this one clip may have become corrupted? It’s hard to tell sometimes whether I’m dealing with a corrupt clip or a temporary glitch in the program that requires a shut-down. Course, in this case the clip still malfunctioned even after shut-down and restart. I think we should be able to get through, and wanted to express my deepest thanks for everyone’s help. You guys are always there to help us, and we truly appreciate it!

Thanks Mike and Dave. Were talking about a clip in the bin that, when double-clicked and activated in the Edit Suite plays through with full video and audio (Track Mapping is fine). When that clip is dragged down into the timeline (either from the Edit Suite or the Bin itself), it only shows a video line (which is shown with the red, can’t place in timeline indicator. There is plenty of room on both sides of the timeline for the clip to fit, so we can’t determine what would cause it to show us 1)without its audio tracks and 2)implacable into the timeline at that point- where there’s plenty of space. We know it’s not an issue of anything in the way- as we’ve scaled out wide to see if there is anything small in the timeline. To answer Dave’s question: the footage was brought in through a Sony HDV deck in 1080p and looks really great. There are no problems in the Edit Suite, as I mentioned, only when you try and bring it into the timeline. Dave, I will try and examine this even further and report back with any additional info!! Thanks guys!

This is certainly a tough issue to diagnose. I have a clip in my bin; when I play the clip in the Edit Suite, it plays fine with audio. When I move the clip from the edit suite to the timeline, the clip only shows a video line. I have plenty of tracks for clip available in the timeline, but only get a video line. When I check the track mapping, all three V,A1,A2 are lit up green. We tried something interesting today; we took off the video track in Track Mapping, and it suddenly showed us the A1 and A2 tracks in the timeline. So, theoretically, we could strip off the video and bring the audio 1 & 2 into the timeline and then strip off the A1 and A2 through Track Mapping and bring in just the video. This is obviously not an effective method. We just wanted to see if it would work.
So essentially, there is abundant space in the timeline, as well as track support, but the clip does not go into the timeline with full tracks. We also noticed that the clip (video only) did not work right when placed into the timeline; when we tried to abut the video track against one to the left of it, it would only allow us to move it so close. There are obviously no audio tracks for this video clip, so I don’t understand why it would not let us abut the clip against the clip next to it. BTW- we’ve tried to restart the program multiple times with the same results. Thanks!

It actually did, that’s the strange thing. We’d play it out of the edit suite and it was fine. When we dragged it from the suite to the timeline, it only showed the video line (as if the Track Mapping was utilized to take off the audio channels) The producer mentioned that she happened to click the Revert button in the edit suite accidentally, but I don’t see what impact that would’ve had on the clip. We even tried bringing the original clip into the timeline from the bin, and it still only displayed the video track. Somehow we managed to get around it by renaming the clip in the bin, but it was really strange. Thanks for the feedback! This forum has helped us tremendously throughout the years!

This worked perfectly. Thanks as always for the great support!

Andrew, were you able to find a solution to your HD crash problem within the Quicktime components?

Thanks Floh, that would be great. I need to reinstall my Media 100 Suite trial, which I will be sure to do Monday of next week. Please let me know what you would need on my end to do the session. I am available Tuesday through Friday at any time. For this issue, I will clear my schedule to try and resolve it! Thanks again for all your help.
