Videomaker Reviews Media 100 Suite

Sunday, October 11, 2009

"If you are in the market for a new nonlinear editor you should definitely give the Media 100 Suite a test drive. If you are considering upgrading to the latest version of Final Cut Studio or Adobe After Effects, then by all means, download the free trial and open up some of your existing projects to see how Media 100 Suite works. Everyone has a different style of editing and some programs are more comfortable to your style. I was very impressed with the MultiClip Editing feature and will try using it on the next multi-camera project I have."

Media 100 Suite Now Available with MultiClip Editing & MXO2 Support

Sunday, August 02, 2009

Media 100 Suite, next-generation Media 100 software with MultiClip Editing and Boris RED, is now available! In addition to AJA and Media 100 HDx video I/O cards, Media 100 Suite supports Matrox MXO2 for portable, broadcast-quality input/output, monitoring, and up/down/cross conversion. Media 100 Suite also includes a new VoiceOver Tool for audio recording direct to the timeline.

MultiClip Editing. Media 100 Suite's new MultiClip Editing feature facilitates real-time editing of multiple video and audio sources in a familiar, easy-to-use interface. A camera can be added to an existing MultiClip as its source media becomes available, allowing editors to begin cutting a multicam shoot faster than ever before. Cameras can be synced via timecode, sync marks, or in-points. When syncing via timecode, additional footage can even be assigned to an existing camera - extremely helpful in situations where a camera has been stopped to change tapes or batteries.

VoiceOver Tool. Media 100 Suite's new VoiceOver Tool allows direct-to-timeline audio recording while playing back timeline audio and video. Primarily designed for recording narration, the VoiceOver Tool leverages Media 100 Suite's new MultiClip architecture to allow for multiple takes nested inside a single audio clip in the timeline. VoiceOvers can be recorded as stereo pairs or separate channels allowing different narrators to record in a single take. Other possibilities include simultaneously recording dialogue to separate channels or laying down a live music track.

Matrox MXO2 Support. Media 100 Suite adds new support for Matrox MXO2, a portable I/O device that delivers broadcast-quality input/output, monitoring, and up/down/cross conversion. Compatible with MacBook Pros and Mac Pros, MXO2 weighs under 3.5 pounds and lets editors work seamlessly in any Media 100 supported format. For a traditional rack-mounted installation, Media 100 Suite also supports the MXO2 Rack. The Matrox MAX option for accelerated encoding to H.264 direct from Media 100 is also supported.

Other Media 100 Suite Improvements include the ability to export Media 100 timelines to Adobe After Effects CS4, support for Apple's new Final Cut Studio 3 release, improved Apple Color integration, full support of QuickTime timecode tracks, export of timecode "burn-in", support for 24-bit audio import, and the ability to output RP188 timecode with supported AJA video I/O cards.

Media 100 Suite is available now for an MSRP of $1,295 USD. Customers may upgrade to Media 100 Suite from Media 100 Version 10 and higher, including Media 100 Producer, for an MSRP of $595 USD. Alternatively, Media 100 Platinum Software Updates is available for an MSRP of $895 USD and provides one year of Media 100 Suite software upgrades. Media 100 Suite replaces the Media 100 and Media 100 Producer software applications.

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. Learn More

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

Customers holding valid Media 100 Platinum Software Updates Agreements will receive v13 free of charge. Media 100 Suite customers may purchase a Media 100 Platinum Software Updates Agreement for $895 USD. Media 100 Producer customers may upgrade to v13 for $295 USD; alternatively, a Media 100 Producer Platinum Software Updates Agreement is available for $595 USD.

Customers who buy Media 100 now will receive v13 free of charge.
