Re: FCP Hype???

Peter, don't be so 'diplomatic', the previous owners were reprehensible in their behaviour, both to the employees and engineers and the customers. It darn nearly killed Media 100 for ever but our patience in sticking with it and the heaven sent intervention of Boris saved the day.

I totally agree that we now have an editing tool as good as any in the world and, importantly, far easier and faster to use than FCP. I do know editors who deserted to FCP and they seem very happy and do great work but maybe they are more savvy than I am with the technicalities, I just want to produce good stuff without having to go through all the hoops learning a far more complicated system.

Thank goodness Media 100 were quick on the ball in supporting the new EX XDCAM media and this is an example of how the Boris team are keen to keep up with the game. Long may this continue and may I thank The Cow for making it possible for us to share our experiences and our problems when they (rarely) arise.
