Re: Any news on a new version of Media 100 software?

I'd like to see some bug fixes. I still get that hang-up frequently when exiting RED5 back to M100. I get random glitching in title/comp/filter rendering. It will go away if I unrender & render a 2nd or 3rd time. Is OSX 10.7.4 approved?

Featurewise, BorisFX rolls out a lot of new filters for RED/Continuum but not all are available for Media100 users. I'd really find beat reactor useful.

For Media100, clip nesting/grouping would be nice. You can drag a group of clips to the bin & back but they're still individual. I used the nesting/grouping a lot in MovieShop5 on my old MacroSystems DraCo. I could drag an entire timeline into another and use in as an single clip. In Media100, I need to export & import files to achieve the same.

I hadn't really used Media100 audio bus tracks before watching one of Floh's tutorials. They're useful. Something similar for video tracks could be useful too.

Importing movies with the option to ignore an embedded alpha or the choice to import only the video or audio of the movie file.

A view option for tabbed windows for bins, like tabs for pages in a web-browser. It would clean up some of my clutter.

Import from video DVD option. We sometimes get spots from clients on DVD that need tagged or changed. I usually the free MacX DVD ripper but it'd be nice just to have a direct import option for Media100.

Better firewire device control. We have some sony HDV decks that we still use but the device control isn't accurate or robust enough for batch digitizing. It always has difficulty pinpointing the timecode. A fuzzier search might work. Rather than find the EXACT frame, find & accept something that is close enough & before the point you're looking for, acquire the slightly larger clip and just adjust the in/out points once the clip is in the system.

Snapshot/freeze frame. Sometimes I just want to hold a frame for several seconds. I could export the frame and re-import but how about a tool that makes it more automatic. Select the frame, keyboard short-cut the tool, and viola, a new still clip is at your disposal.

There are probably other things I'd like but time to get back to work.
