You said that you get crashes when playing back HD clips. Did you send the crashlogs to Media 100 using the Crashreporter, including your email address and a description what the cause for these crashes were?
And have you tried copying your media to your internal drive and playing it back from there? Same results?
Open your Activity Monitor (found in Applications->Utilities), and display the CPU activity during playback. Does the system max out all 4 CPUs? If yes, it could be a performance problem with ProRes, but I don -

[LandofNid] “Boris Red is even worse…it doesn’t work…and he didn’t know how anybody used it.””
Not really sure what he is/was speaking about. There are many people who use Red with Avid, FCP, Media 100 and other editing systems as well as the standalone version. Maybe he does not know how to use it? This would not mean that something is broken…

[ventureforth] “As long as the tape names and source timecode stay the same, wouldn’t the EDL be able to reference the media already captured in the FCP bins?”
No.
[ventureforth] “any of you using your M100HD in a dual-boot configuration with FCP? Is the capture card that comes with the HDe basically just an AJA LHe with different drivers? “
Yes and yes.

[ventureforth] “Upon reading forums and doing some research, I understand that the Media100HD can use media captured in FCP. It also my understanding that the process does no work in reverse”
Media 100 can use a wide range of Codecs in realtime natively, including several codecs that can be used by FCP. So if you are working in DV, DVCPro50, ProRes, Uncompressed,… these files can be read both by FCP and Media 100 in realtime without any transcoding.
Additionally, if you export something out from Media 100, like a self-contained ProRes file (or whatever codec you chose in Media 100 or FCP), FCP will be able to play that in Realtime.
But currently there is no way to exchange timelines with the associated media between FCP and Media 100, which means you cannot open a FCP timeline in Media 100 and you cannot open a Media 100 timeline in FCP if that is what you want to do. -
[Nickel] “Still, as I look to the HD future and upgrading my edit system, it would convince me to stick with M100 solely if they added Apple Pro Res 422 and XDCam support. Any word on this happening? “
ProRes works natively in V11.6.3 and higher (both for acquire and playback, like any other supported format). I

[LandofNid] “What do you think of the new Software Media 100? Thanks in advance for your time and insight! “
I think you probably are more interested in feedback about Media 100 by posting here? I just came back from IBC where Boris showed the new Media 100 Version 12 software, and it looks very promising. Not sure how much you know about the current Media 100 systems, but they are a different beast from the “old” Media 100 i systems. First, they run on the Aja boards, so if you have a Kona 3 you can get the Media 100 software to use your Kona board for video I/O. The old performance limitations of V8 due to the Vincent boards have been removed, so you get extensive realtime effects on the systems.
The main new features of V12 are support for various video resolutions (24fps up to 60fps in 720p and 1080p and i) with cross-conversion capabilities, and clip-based integration with Boris Red (which really is a great tool for compositing in the Media 100 timeline).If you are familiar with the Media 100 i interface you will feel at home in the new Aja-based Media 100 system. The beauty of the very logical and intuitive interface has been carried over to the new systems, and all the new features like multiple realtime video tracks with full realtime alpha support have been integrated nicely. If you want to get a Media 100 software you definitely should get the version that uses your Aja hardware. While the Media 100 Producer is software only and does support FireWire I/O, the Media 100 guys also sell a software-only package for owners of the Kona boards. You will get an extremely stable and fast editing system with some great compositing features in V12, and of course a good connection to AE with the ability to move your timelines with all clips intact from Media 100 to AE for free.

[fester] “Thanks for the advice.. Im looking around for some software to to the Pan and Zoom effect with about ~ 30 jpeg pictures.. could you recommend any software? pref free 🙂
“If you have Graffiti you definitely can do it there. The manual of Graffiti should be in your Boris Graffiti folder inside your Applications folder.
What you want to do sounds very basic, and should be done easily with some keyframes in Graffiti (or AfterEffects or Red).
