i think this (OMF Support) was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me with upgrading to HD.

FCP has rock solid and adjustable audio export from its and M100 doesnt.
they didnt seem to see it as necessary – be it financial constarints or user needs –
so i dropped my 4 M100 suites for FCP late last year. and i’m sure i’m not the only one

for years we went without OMF support on the SD product and then finally it arrived, no more exported
stereo pair aiff’s without handles to disk. we saved weeks of work with one click.

then suddenly when M100 (under the previous knuckle head adminisration)
went to HD i guess they didnt re-license the OMF ability. so i think you’re stuck.

just seems so silly doesnt it? maybe NAB will bring a change?.

try dropping onto the grafix track and make sure fade up and down sliders are set to zero

i would say go to 10.3.9 and update medea drives. it was a combo we used for ages. apple’s osx beyond that with medea is imho patchy and its forum discussions reflect that

[John]

why not use M100 Software only and when the DV i/O is released
have the best of both worlds.

i have found the difference in versions of quicktime that are supported by M100 and FCP stops you from having crash free operation of both NLE’s on the same machine – unless you partition off the machine?

better still wait til NAB in April

Hi Anne

In the distant past Media 100 operated with a Customer Advocate, somebody to link the needs and wants of the users with the team at M100. Over time, as Marianne and Scott and others left this became the role of the Product Manager – and Floh Peters as the unpaid advocate!. We all welcome Rob Newman aboard and wish him the best, Additionally perhaps BorisFx could give thought to the CA position?

we bought 2 FCP licences in 2005 as a result of landing a multi-cam series for a tv network -and as a result of the brain fade at Optibase pre-Boris.

this was a hard decision after being with m100 since vers 2.

so i would say that for straightforward editing without any greater needs than playing to tape with off the shelf components, media 100 wins easily and training new editors up is as easy as shooting fish in a bucket

however with a few days of persistence,plus time spent on personalisations of the keyboard and with playout requirements like OMF with handles, vhs and dbeta at same time (admittedly a card feature) with timecode display and sub frame audio editing and multi-cam editing fcp is a brilliant piece of kit.

of course there are way way too many options with fcp and you would be best to spend some time with a reseller who can set it up for your specific uses. and walk you thru the abilities.

i look forward to what NAB holds with the Media 100 Mac platform. Why not wait until then to make your decision?
