Oh, oh… I see, you’re going back to M100i… Yeah, that’s an issue.

If you haven’t downloaded SW, you can still do that and get a free 14 day trial… I ended up doing that and then buying it (I think it’s $395)… Well worth it as it is completley compatible with HD.

I haven’t messed with powerlogs in quite a while, but I’m not it is possible to do what you want. I was able to export a log of a m100 bin to Avid once and had avid re-capture automatically. But re-linking (even if it stays in m100) might be a different story.

Have you tried any tests with the powerlog? What part isn’t working? The relinking? OR your not even getting the log to import into M100i?

Could you give us a bit more info? Where’d your drives go? Did they just suddenly not mount? Did you upgrade your OS? etc, etc…

I did have a drive go bad on my MaxArray about a year or two ago… It was stripped 4 x 4 so I only lost half the media…

…there are services that can go dig up the media that remains, but I believe they’re very expensive. Also, try calling Rourke Tech Support… they should be able to tell you exactly what is going on pretty quickly while on the phone.

Good luck.

Jim,

I think Kieran is right, all you need to do is bring the project, program and bin files over to the new system. So long as it has access to copys of (or the exact same) media files, you programs and bins will link back up.

In some cases, if the M100 is not finding the files, you may have to go to the media locations and add the folder that contains the media (but that is rare and I’ve only had to do that when using M100sw on a system with read-only access to the media folders).

This should work pretty easily.

Good luck!

I don’t know of any way to do that… I don’t know how you’d digitize audio while playing back a timeline.

I’d love it if I were wrong!

Just to jump in here late, we recently purchased a 6TB Terrablock (4gbit) and are running 3 media 100 systems, an FCP and an Avid off it.

We haven’t had much problem with “sharing projects”… I guess it depends on how you look at it. Only one user can have “write access” to a volume, but they all can share reading to it.

It actually saved us on a project where we had two editors working with the same media 100 media files on copies of the same timeline. There is no problem sharing the same media files… even at uncompressed HD. You have to come up with a workflow that works for you, but we just have the read only system copy the active program, work on a different section, and then we merge the work into the timeline later.

Anyway… so far, we’re really happy with the Terrablock.

Another trick is to drag that rendered file into a bin.

Once in the bin select your settings and make sure you enable “source media file”. Then you can double click on that file name in your bin and it will open a finder window to the location of that file. Double click it again and it will highlight the file for you. Then you can do as floh says and drag that file right back into your bin and it is a real-time file for you to do with as you please…

…just a quick way to find files you’ve rendered in your timeline.

The other option is to get them in the MPEG-4 video codec… Would that ever fast import?

[Michael J c]

Yeah… I’d do this in M100sw… Obviously, the realtime effect is key, but even if you have to render I think it will be faster there than in Boris.

Audio scrub off…

I’m on 10.1.4…
