I’m a broke graduate/ex-student looking for a job, currently running Media100 7.5. I fancy upgrading at some point too. However, I find the Tune-up is stupidly priced compared to Media100 Producer v12 which doesn’t cost much more (although admittedly, I’d probably need a new Mac to run it).
I remember a while ago, I wanted Red 2.5 for OS9, and Boris FX wouldn’t sell it to me, because it’s ancient. But they did say if I bought the latest Boris FX RED they’d throw in 2.5 for free, …might be worth asking them if you buy Producer v12, whether they’ll also throw in a v8.2.3 license number for free too….ya’ never know….=P
