If you hold down command-option-ctrl when you select batch digitize, Media 100 will force the selected clips (no matter their original properties) to be digitized at the current settings.
This should do it.
P.S. I’m not infront of the system, but I think those are the right keys… there may be a shift in there too. You’ll get an onscreen message when you do it right. One of the keys is to force the audio and one is to force the video.

Yes, of course… It isn’t really legal to buy a song and then use it for a commercial project. The purchased songs are mp4 files and you cannot convert in Quicktime pro or anything else that I’m aware of.
IF you purpose is to use the music as just a guide track and you need to get it into the M100 (or anyother NLE), you must burn a CD and then import the CD track back into your computer… That aiff will work.

yeah, that was my plan… sort of…
Is there a way to put a blank layer below (so I don’t have to copy paste the name and then delete)? and then just merge down?

That is “shift-click-drag forward” the transition mark. Just to be clear.

I still don’t know what is going on then… It doesn’t behave like that for me when I uncheck audio (I do it all the time).
The import should also go extremely quickly too… I’ve tested M100 with FCP files and they came in close to instantly. You should probably be working in the 8bit or 10bit Media 100 codec… You should know though, I don’t think there is a way to have your TIMECODE come with the clips. All your imported clips TC will start at 00:00.
Obviously, you’ve thrown yourself a big curveball making this your first attempt on the Media 100… Just curious, why do you need to cut on the M100 if you have an FCP?
I just finished a Media 100 sw job and it performed great. All footage was imported from a .tga seq (CGI)… I ended up having to make a digibeta so I had to export a self contained movie and bring it into my old Media 100i xr to output to tape.
Also, you were asking where you bring in clips to do dissolves. Use your main video track and alternate between V(a) and V(b). This is where Media 100 shines IMO. You just over lap your clips where you want the dissolves and can shift-click the transition mark forward to make an instant dissolve transition… You can then move it around as if it were it’s own clip. You can also double click it to change the type of transition it is.
Good luck.

I don’t know if I completely understand what is happening, but if you have sync’d audio/video clips that you want to unsync and it isn’t working by the normal method (uncheck A1 and A2) you can try the following.
Select all the clips and drop then in a program timeline. Then, highlight them all and select unsync (command-y I believe). Then option-drag the all the video into a new bin (call it video only or something) and then you’ll have access to the unsync’d clips.
I don’t know why unchecking A1 and A2 is not working though. V1 should not dissapear when you do that. Let us know how it goes…

What about using the lower third border to create a mask that you place on top of the particle layer? Would that work?

Has it always locked up on the G5 or is this a new occurence?
I never had the courage to move 8.2.2 to a G5. I kept my Media 100 i /xr on the G4. No expansion chassis and lossless capablities stay in tact. Stable as can be too.
Let us know what you find out.

How much work have you done on it? My 8.2.2 xr is running stable as can be on 10.3.9 (G4 single 867mHz), but I really want to instal Tiger on the system for the extra bells and whistles.
keep us posted please!
