[Tony West] “The extension is the most direct way isn’t it? “

The extension is too simplistic for any sort of real workflows. It should only be used for review and approval on the very simplest of jobs.

Export a master file from the FCPX Share menu set as a multitrack Quicktime. Open a web browser and log into Frame. Find your project and upload. Share that from Frame as a Presentation with download enabled. Works like a charm. That’s how Frame was intended to work.

This is why I say Frame needs to fix their inconsistencies across their versions. Only by using the browser interface do you get the full experience. Don’t expect these things to get fixed.

[Tony West] “I came straight out of the timeline in FCP X to Frame.io from the Share menu.”

Try it direct instead. The FrameIO extension is pretty mediocre at best. Sounds like a bug in that.

[Tony West] “I thought that also, but not true. It takes multiple audio tracks down to just one track.”

Hmm… Somethings odd. I just ran a test round-tripping split-track masters through Frame without any issue. I exported a split of VO + music out of FCPX as a master file. Once as ProResProxy, then again as H264. Both as Multitrack Quicktime file. I also exported a ProRes Proxy split track from Premiere Pro. Uploaded all three to FrameIO. Then downloaded them. They came back exactly as I sent them up. No change in audio configuration. I was using the web portal to Frame, not the extension app.

More on Catalina.

So in spite of the 32-bit issue, there are more complex compatibility issues that couldn’t truly have been known until the final version of the OS was actually released.

[Tony West] “H.264 isn’t really the point. Frame IO can’t split tracks in ProRes either. They should be able to do either.”

When you say it ‘can’t split tracks,’ do you mean that split-track masters (like DME stereo stems) are muxed into mono or stereo when the client downloads the file from Frame? I would think Frame leaves the original untouched, but I haven’t tested it. I know 5.1 surround is OK.

[Tony West] “the platform is used by so many “high end” projects producers”

I think that’s more marketing than anything else. Depends on whether you mean for workflow or simply review & approval and/or delivery.

Personally I wish they’d simply clean up all of their UI and platform inconsistencies.

[Tony West] “One of the cool feature that X has is the ability to send multi audio tracks in a h.264 file so that another editor can have control over those tracks. Many people want that h.264 file for the ease of import and it looks darn good anyway.”

Why H.264 and not ProRes? Seems like this type of file is a split-track submaster of an edited project. Wouldn’t you want the highest quality possible since it’s going through further post. What am I missing?

[Douglas K. Dempsey] “But for the new stuff, I agree with Bill Davis, you get the new gear, the stable latest apps and exploit the things you can do … like that Sidecar workflow Bill describes.”

Except, probably hold off on Catalina for a while until Apple gets the issues straightened out. There now are some users reporting loss of Mail data. Catalina is already in the 10.15.1 beta phase, which seems pretty early for that.

[Eric Santiago] “Now to find a way to upgrade a few High Sierra units to Mojave….”

The link in this support page opens the Mojave download in the App Store app.

[Eric Santiago] “Thus why I wanted to try Mojave, I am hearing less noise of late on that one.”

Mojave is fine. All my machines are on it. Same mix of apps. The one caveat for me is that I don’t like its dark mode. It’s not like dark mode in HS, because all backgrounds (like in Text Edit) are dark with white text, not just the menu bar. There is a Terminal command (hack) that gives you a similar appearance to dark mode in HS. Otherwise, it nags a bit more than HS with various permissions requests, including frequent requests to allow (or not) an app to access your internal microphone.

Of course, it’s the last macOS version that still permits 32-bit apps.

[Lawrence Gray] “is that they issue?”

Yes, it’s still too early for Catalina. But you could try trashing all preferences, zap PRAM, delete caches, etc. Also make sure you test this on a new, fresh Library.
