I’m running a 2.5 Ghz i7 MBP with 16Gb RAM, and responsiveness seems OK.
If I apply heavy grading and go back to editing, it does drop frames, but that could be expected.
So far like what I see…

Render is not necessary most of the time, however you can set in and out points on the timeline and select to render partially. The render format is defined in the timeline settings. It’s a good idea to set it to the same format as the wanted output – as premiere will allow you to reuse the renders open outputting.

Nuke inherited all the SHAKE users, after Apple killed it. Was a natural move since the founder of Shake went to work for Foundry, once he could shake loose from the Apple tree.

I used Media100 from one of the first versions, until a few years after the company went bankrupt. At that time the only alternative was Final Cut, and from there I have carried on to Premiere CC.

Premiere has become a very powerfull editor, that can also be used for basic compositing. With the promised color correction tools for the next release, I believe they will place themselves as the leading choice for many editors like myself. That is – if you can live with the rental model.

if Media100 was to compete with this, and other offerings like Avid Free, Resolve, FCPX, they will of course need to beef up the interface and functions. But there are a few things that M100 should keep:

– the simplistic approach
– easy to overview layout with colouring of clips
– audio mixer with easy to use real time equaliser and fx
– the mini timeline, that eases up navigation
– A/B roll (make it a preferences option)

If you edit in in CC, you cannot go back. Even CC2014 cannot go back to original CC.

Also if you are on a tight budget – go for LTO5 which is cheaper in drive and tapes.

Hardrives are proximate to last 15 years on shelf, while LTO is said to last 50 years.
We use LTO, and it is a breeze…

Or just press M on each clip to set a Marker. Then align by snapping markers together in sequence…
