Six months ago on this list I remember wishing/speculating that Media 100 would do exactly this. Hey Boris, can I be your new product manager? ; ) Seriously, I think this is a great move for Boris/Media 100 and for everyone who wants a choice in video editing.
I am a very happy user of Media 100 HD. But before this announcement, I wasn’t sure about staying with Media 100 in the future. Now I know I will. For me, the Media 100 interface rules. Most intuitive, easy-to-use system out there. For the last few years, while everyone else was switching to FCP, I was stubbornly clinging to the system that I actually liked to use, and hoping the new ownership would develop a sensible product line. They did. Congratulations!

I was using 8.2.2 with Tiger and never had any problems. I also had a couple of Medea arrays with that setup, but I used Apple’s Drive Setup for them. I don’t use that system much any more, but it was always reliable.

In your Applications folder>Media 100 HD folder you should see a folder called Adobe After Effects Plug-in. In it, you should see a plug-in called Media 100 XML Project Importer. If you Get Info on this plug-in, there is a “Open with:” arrow, and when click on it, it should reveal (confirm) what version of After Effects you have, which will open the XML file.
I just drag the XML file from my desktop onto the AE application icon in the Dock, and this always works for me. I’m only using AE 6.0, but it works fine.

I was running 8.2.2 on Tiger and an old G4 Mac with no problems. I haven’t been using it since I went to Media100 HD on a G5 Mac. I’m sure the older system would still work, but my little office is too crowded now to set it up.

If this is true I’m sorry to hear it, but I wish the best to Steve.

I would definitely go with the LCD — it costs more but it’s lighter, saves space, uses less energy, etc.
There is a compromise way to do what you want. Go to System Preferences and click on Universal Access. Where it says Zoom, click “on.” Now, you can press the Command-Option = or Command-Option – keys to increase or decrease what you’re seeing instantly. There is an option button in the Zoom feature that lets you control how much to zoom in or out.
For icons in the Finder, you can always use View options (Command J) to change those default sizes.
One word of caution: a 21-inch monitor may be too small if you’re using the Zoom feature a lot.

That’s nice; I wish I would have heard about it before I bought the Flying Cow. But I think the M-Audio does AD / DA conversion at the same time, unless I misunderstood you. I mean, I’m monitoring from the M-Audio through my Mackie for digitizing and playback, feeding in analog and playing back out via analog, so it must be converting at the same time, right?

Good point, Lawrence. For this purpose I’d recommend the M-Audio Flying Cow, which was reviewed here on the Cow site:

They list for about $400, but you can get one for about $260 from various sellers like Musician’s Friend:
