Hey Jeremy, give me a call sometime… I’d like to meet face to face… Ask for Todd.

Oh, there are more of us here in town!

We lay off to tape and redigitize to the server… As I mentioned before, though, we’re looking at moving to a tapeless workflow with our new server. Worst case scenario we’ll stay with tape, or perhaps dub via SDI to the new server. IT is still an option, though, but I won’t be able to test that out until the install is done. If I’m not happy with that we’ll stay with one of the other alternatives…

Good points all… There is something to be said about walking up to that shelf with your tapes sitting on it. We’re just starting to migrate to P2, camera on order, and I’m wondering what I’ll do for archive of raw footage. On the M100 side of things, I archive the project files to DVD-R, but that can span several DVDs… raw footage is a whole other matter… If I may ask, what is your archive workflow?

We’ve done the same, send out BetaSP’s… We used to be an all Beta house but we’ve moved to DVCPro50 and now only have two Beta decks up and running. When those die we won’t be replacing them. And I just heard this morning from my chief that Panasonic is phasing out the 25 and 50 decks in favor of 100… and those won’t be backward compatible to 25mb… What are we all going to use for interchange?

Hey, Jeremy, we should talk. I’m over at KUVI/KABE…

We’re long-time users and have three M100’s… All being used daily for building spots and tagging promos. As of this writing we’re still laying off to tape but we’ll be installing a Harris Nexio server for on-air playback sometime this week. We tried some file exports of spots to import as a test of the system in another market but I didn’t get to see the results. My understanding of the problems they ran into in the other market was finding a compatible codec that didn’t make things look worse… I wasn’t present for the tests, so I don’t know how things looked but I’ll be intimately involved once the server is installed here. The plan I’m leaning towards right now is to try a few file exports/transfers to the server and see how that goes. If I’m happy with the quality, I’m thinking of moving to tapeless. If not, we’ll lay off to tape and redigitize on the server. I see a lot of bad video in our market do to servers and delivery over IP and I’d like to avoid that if possible.

Hi Floh,

Are you using seperate user accounts on your Mac? And you’re able to edit titles while logged on as a different user?

Hmm… I wonder if I need to do something drastic like a clean OS install, and then re-install the HDe software…

Any thoughts?

Hi Floh, thanks for chiming in…

The main M100 program is working, but when I’m logged in as anything but the main User and start to edit a title I get a response saying the Title Suite plugin couldn’t be found and needs to be installed. I’ve checked; the Title, Composite and Effects Suite plugins appear to be installed in the correct folder in the M100 application folder… unless there’s somewhere else they need to be?

Like I’ve mentioned, I don’t have this problem with the other (older) M100 versions and hardware configs, just the new HDe on Intel G5…

Thanks, Bobby. Unfortunately, my problem has to do with the M100 running but not seeing the Effects & Title Suites plugins when logged in as anybody but the administrator, even when the other users have administration permissions…

Any other thoughts out there? Is this even doable with this version of hardware/software these days?

Thanks again, Gang…
