Some one has to ask…

[Marcus Warren]

Boris has promised to keep M100 updated in regards to future MacOS releases, so my thought is wait for the official word from BorisFX. My guess is that will come within 60 days. Just a guess.

Yosemite is out now.

Has anyone experimented to see if the current Media 100 behaves under it? =)

[Andy Stinton]

We have multiple machines with M100 and have upgraded one to Yosemite and M100 will not open . So don’t upgrade until we get the word from Boris FX.

Just got off a troubling live chat with Jon Kozenko from Boris FX technical support. I asked him when they expected to release a Yosemite-compatible version of Media 100. Here’s how it went down:

Jon: Hello Jason. Unfortunately, a Yosemite version of Media 100 is very likely never to come out.

Me: Oh man, that’s very concerning to hear, considering that you are still selling the Media 100 software on the Boris site! There should be a notification on the site about this.

Jon: I certainly will bring this up with both the Webmaster and Management.

Me: Thank you, but please send my feelings of disappointment to management. There are still quite a few Media 100 users that have been hoping for a Yosemite-compatible version.

So that’s the word straight from almost the horse’s mouth (other than Boris himself) 🙁

That’s pretty terrible, considering generally speaking, most Mavericks apps are supposed to be compatible with Yosemite. I would of thought only a minor tweak would have been required for compatibility. =S.

Thanks for sharing the conversation though.

[Andy Stinton]

I’m surprised, but not shocked and still hanging onto some glimmer of hope. I realize M100 probably has not garnerd the market share they had hoped, so this makes some buisness sense.

Flo anything to add?

Hate that!!! I guess its time to bite the Final Cut bullet….

Andy,

I have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks and missed large parts of the discussion here. Hope to be back more regularly in the next couple of days.

Speaking about your Yosemite test: I haven’t found the time to install 10.10 on one of my systems for now but will do next week. What kind of issue do you see when trying to launch Media 100?
For earlier versions there was an OS check, disabling the app on newer OSes; but this could easily be changed unless there are other issues with 10.10 and Media 100.

I will start my tests next week. And btw., most of my work in the last couple of months has been on Media 100, so I will not let it go easily 😉

[Floh Peters]

Okay, found a little bit of time this weekend, and did a first initial test on 10.10. So far Media 100 seems to work; at least it launches (with a little trick), and it worked as expected in a little quick test. Unfortunately I don´t have much material here at home, so I am not really able to test it more in depth. But if there is nothing mayor broken, I think support for Yosemite seems possible.

The message I get is that the system software is too new ….
