In a nutshell: Media 100… Good looking picture cumbersome interface. The time line functions ar buried like subdirectories with buttons. I prefer to see all my options. Lacks some clip "sort" functions I use all the time. Crashes often. The latest version added better resolution and cured some of the bugs. Cube… I hate proprietary systems! The picture quality is waaay too soft for me. Interface is difficult to get a handle on if your use to conventional "time Line Systems" Does have a nice CG and nifty effects. AVID 1000,4000 & 8000…. The power users system! Overpriced but well supported. I hate rendering effects,motion effects other features outweigh the downside. I'm not terribly impressed with the Media Suite Pro for windows or mac. DVision… Easiest to learn, great interface horrible image quality. The new system will finally be on-line quality. FAST… Superb image quality. Both linear and non-linear. EDL function doesn't support audio in the time line (they are working on it) plus all the stuff I listed in my last post. Poor CG but well supported 3rd party CG. Rotoscopes, records animation. Flyer… Where's the timeline? Audio needs work. Good image quality. But there's that proprietary compression that bothers me. I think the Windows version was a smart move.
