I don’t want to belabor this, but….
I don’t know what you were looking at, but it’s clearly not what I look at every day on our 2K Pluses. There is not one round widget on there, and no video displays. The only similarities are a timeline and some vertical bars. And none of them are directly manipulated with a mouse. The Lustre, however, does have round widgets with multiple vertical scroll bars next to them, all available for mouse manipulation – very much like Color. That’s why I mentioned similarities.

That’s one of my biggest complaints too.

No, the round widgets replace the track balls you would use on the controller. You can see the widgets on the Resolve interface and there are video displays on there, that one really looks like Color. But if you have the trackball controllers, then Color really works almost like the 2K version.
On the 2K you would never have a video display on the screen as you should be looking at your grade monitor or projector anyway.
The main point I’m trying to make here is there is a reason why Color looks the way it does, it’s for colorists, not for Final Cut Pro editors and it amazes me how people whine about the interface without even trying to use it. It looks different so it must be bad. A shame to think that way when it’s a very easy application to use.

I think I’m the only person who actually likes Media Manager.”If you’re just going from one format to another, it’s ok. If all you want to do is recapture an offline sequence to an online format, it’s too convoluted. In Media 100 all I did was select the Sequence, select the format and Capture. And it only captured the in/out points of the timeline. Freakin’ sweet.

I used Media 100 for years myself. What you left out is that it recaptures media in the same folder and leaves your offline media there. No way to reconnect, and no way to “manage” it.
To me MM is easy and straightforward. You just choose “Create Offline”, select “delete unused media”, and it makes a new project which you can batch capture.

That’s why I always made a duplicate timeline before the Recapture. I had the original offline cut and the new Online cut.

“You’re so full of crap, bogie.”
“So don’t use it, dickhead.”
“You’re so right, bogie.”
“Premiere rocks.”
“Media 100 was so cool.”
“Media 100 was so awful.”You guys are s-o-o-o predictable.
Oh, wait a second; that means I am, too.bogiesan
This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: “For crying out loud, read the freakin’ manual.”

Apparently it would be too much work for Apple to improve the way FCP links to media, or their cost benefit analysis shows they won’t sell enough additional workstations to make it worth their time. I’ve had projects get REALLY screwed up by Media Manager because of duplicate clip names. FCP’s dependency on filenames is one of the major limiting factors here.
