Media 100 is making a Come back!

[Andrew Kimery]

$99 also gets your Boris Red for Media 100 and PPro for Mac!

I hardly think a mere price drop qualifies as “a comeback”.

Yosemite compatibility certainly does. Real promotion (finally) of a great, easy to use system with professional capabilities does as well. Should have happened long ago. Red included, works with M100 and other major NLE’s. Media 100 is one of the NLE’s I use. And I don’t rent any of them! Adobe has gotten my last dime until they offer perpetual licenses.CS6? Hardly use it now. FCPX and M100. Media 100’s Yosemite support gives me confidence to do more projects with it. Check out media100.com for the new approach.

Oh, I have. And sorry, but a company that is on the very tail-end of adapting the newest in tech, codecs and OS, AND does their demos with an SD/DV timeline, doesn’t exactly strike me as anywhere near the cutting edge or make me go “Wow!”. I’ll stick with FCP X myself, thanks. Any NLE that I have to TELL which res and/or codec I’m using in advance, is no NLE for me.

It works with most any codec you have installed. I have been editing HD with it for the last three years. Is there an OS beyond Yosemite? I’m using FCPX myself, but Media 100 is so direct and easy to use, I often find myself booting it up first. I have a feeling you’ve never used version 2.1.5 or the Yosemite compatible 2.1.6. Probably not even version 2.x. I’m happy to have another choice of a track based editor other than Adobe or Avid.

From their site:
Media 100 supports dozens of video standards in 4K, 2K, HD, and SD resolutions at frame rates from 23.98 to 60 frames per second. In addition, acquisition interfaces for AVCHD, AVC-Intra, FireWire, Panasonic P2, and Sony XDCAM are provided – as well as support for video I/O interfaces from AJA.

“Media 100. Now, that’s a name I hadn’t heard in a long time.”

The images it conjures are of Zima, Bon Jovi, Mister T., Turbo Cube.

Seems to work OK, but It really needs a major UI overhaul. Aqua buttons? yikes…

It’s neo-retro. The hipsters will love it. 😉

No kidding. You’d think for “a comeback” they’d actually TRY to look like something from at least this century. Features or not, if I can’t stand looking at it, I’m not happy working with it. Just the way I am. And that interface has literally not seen a single update since I last used it in the late 90’s! That’s just scary.

And simply check the “Getting Started” video for example and you’ll quickly see how “modern” this is beyond that (they drive that point home by using SD/DV of all things… seriously?? :-D). It can’t even figure out the codec you’re using and set up your project accordingly without your help in advance. Overall “Getting Started” is most certainly a far less convoluted and less time consuming task then with pretty much any an every other NLE I know of today than with this. Don’t think I need to know the rest. I’d go completely nuts if I had to go through that procedure with every single new project. Wow. Somehow I’m just partial to entering a name, enter, done. I’m weird I guess. 😉

YMMV

Wait ’til Jony Ive gets to it. Icons will be flat and boring and the text so thin you can’t read it. 🙂
