Sorry, don't get it. I had several M100's (P6000) in the past, and maybe back in 1995 it still made SOME sense to invest in one, but TODAY? Sorry, but the only reason I ever even considered using the unintuitive, incapable software was because I HAD TO, since there was no other way to use the hardware. But if that hadn't been the case, then I would have chucked the CRAP software on day one. Looking at packages such as Final Cut (even Express!) or even Premiere, I see ZERO reason why I should actually PAY for anything Media100 has left to offer. Same goes for AVID by the way. Makes NO economical, practical or even technical sense! I work in a Studio with FIFTEEN FCP and TWO AVID suite's (the M100's are LONG gone, fortunately)... gee, guess which of those take FAR more time and money to keep running smoothly, let alone to get to work decently with other programs that one needs for one's professional workflow nowadays??

Obviously: the AVIDs!

P2 support?? Works with AJA Products?? Oh geeeee... already??! That only makes them about two+ years late! That should get them up to speed by, what? 2024? Too bad they have celebrated their 12th or so bankruptcy by then, one of which will finally be terminal. Or maybe AVID will by them. To hold hands as they go down together... :-D
