You have no clue, Robin.

Thanks for that, Jeremy. I do believe that Media 100 is older than the COW. There is still a Media 100 Forum, BTW. Much happiness there right now. Also a Facebook group. I remember meeting Ron and Kathlyn Lindeboom at NAB in the ’90’s when I was the Avid dealer for Hawaii and one of two Media 100 dealers. Guess which system I still use? And which one I preferred then? Online quality in the mid ’90’s from an NLE.

Or you could say “Off the Tracks”!

Media 100 has multiple video and audio tracks (up to 100 audio, I believe, the tutorial shows 20 being used) that can be bussed. Effects and filters are available for easy application to the audio to remove noise, and other types of processing you would expect in a professional system such as full EQ, Dynamics including compression, gating,de-essing,hum removal at various frequencies and reverb effects. Live voice-over recording is supported. Transitions happen between the A and B Video tracks, the primaries. Their is also a graphics track overlay for titles. It has a simple DVE built in, and multiple wipes. Media 100 also supports multi cam editing. It exports and imports easily to After Effects and supports FC7 XML.
See the new Media 100 website for details. Be aware that Media 100 has been in development for as long as Avid practically speaking. Some of the tutorials you see are from when that particular feature was introduced. Audio is from Version 13, a while back. But I would love to see those audio capabilities in FCPX. This is a labor of love by people who know what this system can do. Don’t judge it by what you might expect from a rollout by a billion dollar company. But there are many of us who are happy to see it still moving into the future with OS and AJA updates. At this point it will still be running as long as Premiere CS6 even if development stopped now!

Yes. I find there are some projects I prefer tracks for and others I don’t. Cut a lot of documentaries, and I find it very easy to keep things organized. Especially good easy to control audio tools with effects. Another tool in the tool chest without a major learning curve. Boris has an outside partner in this who thought M100 should not be relegated to the dustbin, just as Boris rescued it years back. I for one am glad. FCPX is definitely my other tool, though. Both have their strengths. Even better, one price and no rental for either.

To be clear, Jony Ive is a genius of design. But not with User Interfaces. Flat, boring, and hard to read, too thin fonts. Glad he is moving back to physical objects. Apple Stores and the new Spaceship Campus will be his main projects. He is certainly no hack. Best computer/smartphone designer on earth.

You just can’t take it when someone gets some good news, can you Robin? Anything else positive to add?

Maybe “Come Back” was somewhat hyperbolic. Just glad it is still current OS. At least it is up to date on current video standards including HD, 2K, 4K, and RED. Not dumped in the trash bin like us Aperture users. Apple still worries me with their ProApps. Sorry for your delicate design sensibilities, I’m just glad to still be able to use it. Who cares what they demo it with, it works with all current standards. Hey, I like and use FCPX as well! My Jony Ive comments still stand. Glad to get him away from the OSX interface. Don’t need iOS on my computer. Love my Tube, though. Should have kept him on device/industrial design.

Wait ’til Jony Ive gets to it. Icons will be flat and boring and the text so thin you can’t read it. 🙂
