Jason:
Don’t feel too retro about not upgrading. I’m still running one of my Media100 systems with good ol’ 8.2.3! And, I have no intention of changing it.
Yes, I have FCP and hate it too! I also have Media 100 Producer and I’M about to upgrade it to the new Suite version, if M100 can convince me it will handle Pana HD including AVC-I. Media 100 seems to be getting less and less accurate and detailed about what their systems will and will NOT handle…Pity, I too have been a ‘member’ since 1996.
In any event, take your time and research your options. We’ve pretty much all screwed up with new software sometime in our editing lives! Except when I was cutting film!
