#Opinions on Media 100?
I'm looking for opinions and experiences from people who have used the Media
100. I'm looking at it for editing short (30-minutes or shorter) political
pieces. It would probably be used most for 30- and 60-second TV spots.
I have talked to a dealer about the component version running on a Power Mac
8100, with 80 megs of RAM, 17.5 gig disk array, 9 gig internal drive and
version 2.0 of the Media 100 software. I would probably be using a UVW-1800 as
the disk.
I would appreciate any insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the system
in relation to others. Also, are there any things I should be sure to get or
not get with it? I've also looked at the VideoCube, but I'm leaning toward the
Media 100 because of better host hardware (8100 vs. 7100; 80 megs RAM vs. less
for the Cube) and allegedly better picture quality. They tell me the finished
tape is the same as second-generation Beta SP. What do you think?
Thanks in advance for your help.
