“Steep learning curve”?

Michael,
I was in the same place, upgrade to M100HD or move on.

I was up and running the first day in FCP and finished my first 7 min corporate edit (with clients) the same week. Sure, I don’t know everything, but I figured out all the basics the M100 does in one day (Thanks in part to the COW) Now, it’s awesome doing all the stuff I could never do and only imagine!

Sorry about bitchin’ folks, but like many, I felt let down and didn’t want to invest big bucks in a shaky company. If they would have treated us old timers better with BIG discounts to upgrade, I might have stayed, but…

Jeremy,

Don’t do it! Go FCP. As a former M100 user since V4, I just went FCP5 G5/DP2.7 and it’s amazing in everyway. Way above my expectations. I still have my Version 8 system on the old G4… I hate to even turn it on.

Thanks for the info, but I have one more question…

I can add the smooth to the scale & rotation, but not the Center.
How do you do that?

After reading the Macguru’s article about the Maxtor drives having incompatiblity issues, I decided to go with Hitachi drives and the Firmtek card/bays. Thanks for all your help!

What physical drives should I get? That article listed the Maxtor Maxline III, the Maxtor DiamondMax 10, and the Hitachi 7K250 and 7K400 drives.

You guys use any of the above drives?

Not sure if this helps, but I just had some issues exporting (Printing to EDL) an EDL to AVID. The problem ended up being, I was trying to create an EDL with more than 1 video track. As soon as I amended it to one track, it exported fine. All I can say is, that worked.

It must be something in the breakout box or it’s cable. I’ve tried a couple of S cables and they all work fine. Oh, well… guess I should have checked that out 8 years ago! I thought it might be something SW related.

Leo thanks.

I’m not editing on my NLE. I’m going to a facility with a Quantel Editbox.
They are requesting DigiBeta. The spot is going for broadcast only, not DVD.

Floh,

When I downloaded your link, uncompressed it. In the folder, there are two things, another folder titled MACOSX (Ewhich is empty) and a file titled ‘Media 100 Codecs Install’

But when I click on it, it says…
“There is no default application specified to open the documen Media 100 codecs Install”

Huh?
