Media 100 Announces v13, New Apple Final Cut Studio Integration

Tuesday, September 09, 2008

Media 100 Version 13 will be released in October 2008!

New features include:

* XML Interchange. Transfer projects to and from Apple Final Cut Studio via the industry-standard XML language format. Filtered clips and non-standard transitions and titles can be automatically pre-rendered for seamless integration with Apple Final Cut Pro. Standard video transitions and audio cross-fades remain fully editable. Work on the system of your choice within a larger workgroup or collaborate with Apple Final Cut Pro editors on the same project. Bring your Media 100 timeline into Apple Color for color grading, keeping all of your edits intact and linking to your original media files. Learn More

* Multi-Channel Audio Output. You can now assign multiple audio tracks to virtual buses and process each bus separately in the timeline. Each bus can separately master to one or more output hardware channels. The new multi-channel audio mixing and output capabilities give you tools for complex mixing tasks with different language versions within your timeline. Through the use of multiple mixing buses you can easily create sub-mixes for voice and music and keep complex mixing sessions clearly arranged. Plus, when needed, you can output all the different mixes to tape or to a QuickTime file in a single pass, reducing the time needed to master multi-track projects. Now you can easily monitor and master surround mixes by using multiple outputs. The mixing capabilities with the ability to assign tracks to multiple buses and the option to apply audio effects both to individual clips as well as audio buses makes Media 100's audio features comparable to dedicated audio workstations.

* JKL Keyboard Control for video trimming and Time-code Support on imported BWF and WAV files, speeding up workflow.

Media 100 Producer Reviewed on Creative Cow

Tuesday, January 16, 2007

Creative Cow's Nick Griffin, a longtime Media 100 user, recently took time to explore Media 100 Producer. Here is an excerpt from the review:

"You never forget your first girlfriend, right? The laughs, the late nights, the... well you know. Now imagine that you run into her years later and instead of being just older, she's much, much better looking -- knockout gorgeous and now with so many of the features she lacked before..."

"At $795 the cost of Media 100 Producer is, IMHO, competitive in today's environment. But add in the Boris Red 4 bundle for a combined price of $1,295 and it's a great value. For returning Media 100 users like me, calculate the time savings and convenience of having access to old as well as current work and the value of the package shoots through the roof."
