Media 100 is making a Come back!
-
Maybe “Come Back” was somewhat hyperbolic. Just glad it is still current OS. At least it is up to date on current video standards including HD, 2K, 4K, and RED. Not dumped in the trash bin like us Aperture users. Apple still worries me with their ProApps. Sorry for your delicate design sensibilities, I’m just glad to still be able to use it. Who cares what they demo it with, it works with all current standards. Hey, I like and use FCPX as well! My Jony Ive comments still stand. Glad to get him away from the OSX interface. Don’t need iOS on my computer. Love my Tube, though. Should have kept him on device/industrial design.

[Jim Wiseman] “At least it is up to date on current video standards including HD, 2K, 4K, and RED.”
Yeah. So does iMovie. So why not use that if that’s (bizarrely) apparently your all-deciding criteria? In which case you can even add 5 and 6K to that list (actually… resolution independent, but hey).
[Jim Wiseman] “Apple still worries me with their ProApps.”
Sure. As opposed to this, which is no doubt exponentially more future-proof, right?! Gotcha. Solid argument!
[Jim Wiseman] “My Jony Ive comments still stand.”
Yeah, I’m sure. He’s a complete hack, no question about it.
<_<

You just can’t take it when someone gets some good news, can you Robin? Anything else positive to add?

To be clear, Jony Ive is a genius of design. But not with User Interfaces. Flat, boring, and hard to read, too thin fonts. Glad he is moving back to physical objects. Apple Stores and the new Spaceship Campus will be his main projects. He is certainly no hack. Best computer/smartphone designer on earth.

The same $695 product they usually sell?
-
[Bret Williams] “The same $695 product they usually sell?”
That’s what it says. From their FAQ (emphasis mine):
Are any Boris plug-ins included with Media 100?
Media 100 includes Boris RED for professional transitions, titling, and compositing. As a bonus, when you purchase Media 100 for $99, you receive Boris RED for both Media 100 as well as Adobe Premiere Pro for Mac (CC, CS6, CS5.x). RED is a $695 value on its own! -
Does it still have tracks?
-
Yes. I find there are some projects I prefer tracks for and others I don’t. Cut a lot of documentaries, and I find it very easy to keep things organized. Especially good easy to control audio tools with effects. Another tool in the tool chest without a major learning curve. Boris has an outside partner in this who thought M100 should not be relegated to the dustbin, just as Boris rescued it years back. I for one am glad. FCPX is definitely my other tool, though. Both have their strengths. Even better, one price and no rental for either.

Last time I used Media100 it had tracks. Or should I say track. It had only 1. But, that was 1998.

Maybe they called it a primary storyline behind closed doors. 😉
