When exporting to XML are you choosing the option to include rendered filter media?
-
Hmmm… it’s NOT a known issue.
What else can you tell us about the project?
– Dropframe or Non-Drop timecode?
– 720×486 or 640×480?

Hi Noah,
Here are a few things to think about ahead of time…
– Media file paths –
The absolute EASIEST workflow for you would be if the drive you get with the media is the same drive that the Final Cut project was linked to at the moment the Final Cut XML was created. That way, when you mount the drive and bring the XML into Media 100, the new Program will automatically link to the media.Don’t worry about it though, if the media files are NOT in the EXACT file path described in the XML, the Import XML process in Media 100 will prompt you to navigate to the folder with the media files and then they all link up from there.
– Audio Media –
Media 100 differs in a fundamental way from Final Cut in that it must have separate files for audio. This means that new audio files will be created when you import the XML. This is really an issue if your work will end in Media 100, but it would be worth noting if you wanted to move the project back to FCP. You’d need to be sure to– Codecs –
You’ll want to ensure that you have the correct codec(s) installed to support the media.– Effects –
It sounds like you understand that not ALL effects will come across verbatim. It’s much better than the old EDL days, but the rule remains the same, the less exotic the edit before exporting to XML, the better.– Misc. –
The only other thing to be concerned with would be “non-standard” frame sizes or frame rates.Do you know any details about the FCP project?
– What format was it shot in? SD 4×3 or 16×9? HD 720 or 1080?
– Was it a “full raster” format? or one of the HDV variants?
– Interlaced or Progressive?
– What codec?
– Anything else you can think of… -
No known issues here.

Great news!
Post back after you’ve had some time with the system up and running to let us know how the config is working out for you.
Of course I know it works well (we’ve been testing it for months) But lot of people are interested to hear first-hand reports of Blackmagic with Media 100.

What slot is the card in?
Is this is a “clean” install of M100 or did you have something else running in there prior?
What software version from Black Magic are you running? Should be v7.3.2.
What vintage is your HD Extreme card? BMD has a history of reving their cards often, so it’s possible you’re using one that’s just a little bit older than those we’ve tested with thus far.
The other thing that catches my eye is the OS. Is there a reason you’re staying at 10.5.5? If not, you may want to try updating to 10.5.8 (and whatever Software Update offers).

Hi Andy,
Have you got I/O hardware installed and running with M100? If so, which card?
…and, if you DO have a card, which slot is it in?

“Good right…”
What does that even mean?
Meant to type “Got it right…”

Good right on both counts.
There IS a new version 1.1.1 and we haven’t got the text on the links changed yet to reflect that. Hard (and a bit embarrassing)to explain, but adding a simple “.1” to the end of that version number was the only thing we couldn’t get done last week when we posted the update.
The web guy’s back from vacation, so I suspect we’ll get it sorted out today.
