Media 100 [Refurbished] i/LE Analog Video Editing System

1. Select a video clip from the Bin Window, where you store your digitized footage.

2. Drag the selected clip into the Edit Suite, and access a complete range of editing functions through sliders, buttons and pull-down menus.

3. Drag the edited clip into the Program Window, where you assemble clips, titles, graphics and effects, and mix up to four channels of CD-quality audio in real-time.

Open System:

Designed as an open system, Media 100 is the only non-linear software that achieves its real-time performance using off-the-shelf Macintosh peripherals. The system captures source video and CD-quality audio and stores it digitally on standard Macintosh SCSI disk drives. This gives you maximum flexibility in purchasing, installing and upgrading your system.

Incorporating the QuickTime codec, with alpha channel support, Media 100 assures complete compatibility and seamless communication with other QuickTime graphic and animation packages. Drag and drop a media file into Media 100, make changes and see the results immediately in real-time. Once a program is complete, you can output to video tape, CD-ROM, QuickTime, laser disc, or even live to air.

Intuitive Interface:

The intuitive design of the Media 100 user interface allows even those without traditional editing experience to quickly and easily create professional programs. Taking advantage of the simplicity of the Macintosh interface, the Media 100 software utilizes menus, icons and buttons that you simply point and click to, to access powerful editing tools, sophisticated effects and real-time operation.

Intuitive Operation:

Quick and easy to learn, Media 100 enables you to become productive immediately. You can make changes quickly and easily, add effects, titles and graphics, and mix in your audio all in a real-time, non-linear environment.

Bin Windows:

Bins enable you to store, view and sort clips in a variety of ways, making it easy to locate your video and audio clips. You can use multiple Bin Windows to store an unlimited number of clips. Keyframe representations of each clip appear in the Bin Window, pointing to the actual digitized video clips.

The List Mode in Bin Views provides an even more flexible view of clips stored in bins, with database-style sorting and organization. You can attach a large number of attributes or information types to your clips, and then sort by any attribute type. View preferences for display and sorting include keyframe, clip name, reel name, in/out time, keyword, media file name, date/time, and many others.

The Edit Suite:
The Edit Suite window allows you to access a complete range of editing functions while working with your media clips. Using buttons and sliders, you can work in one of several modes:

Digitize mode digitizes and compresses analog source material, and stores the data in media folders for access during editing, program assembly, play and output.

Edit Clip mode allows you to edit audio level and pan for individual clips, apply MotionFX or Color FX to clips, rough-trim video or audio clips, and export clips as QuickTime movies or export keyframes as PICTs for use with external applications.

Trim mode provides productive, precise cut trimming between two clips in the Program window. Dual-sampler and versatile editing controls allow you to view edit decisions on two clips simultaneously and to make precise adjustments of In and Out points. The main advantage of Trim mode is that you see the effect of any adjustments in relation to the overall transition (cut). Using Trim mode you can trim the In and Out points of individual clips or proportionately trim the In and Out points of two adjoining clips.

Program mode provides controls for playing and editing your program, which is immediately reflected in the Program window.

Transistion mode provides controls for setting up and creating transition effects between to clips.

Graphics mode allows you to create or add imported textual or graphical overlays with alpha-channel masks in the graphics track to add underlying video frames.

Program Window:

This is the work area where you assemble clips into programs. You can quickly and easily assemble programs by dragging clips on the timeline, editing, experimenting and re-editing to your satisfaction. You can also trim clips, specify where transitional effects occur and position titles or graphical overlays.

Four Real-Time Tracks of Audio:

Media 100 provides studio-quality audio performance with up to 4 real-time audio tracks, allowing you to make real-time changes to any track during playback (no rendering). When you do audio mixes, you have the flexibility to manipulate the audio just the way you want it, while maintaining on-line quality. All four tracks are 16-bit, 48 kHz CD quality, with perfect audio/video synchronization at all times. Also included are mute and solo buttons for each track in the audio panel, plus timeline-based audio editing for selecting, adjusting and deleting audio modes.

Real-time digital audio:

Audio is processed digitally, and in real-time yielding CD/DAT quality. Sampling rates express the quality of audio captured and directly affect file size. For example a sampling rate of 11.025 KHz will yield poor audio quality and some data loss (used in an off-line situation), while a sampling rate of 48 KHz will yield CD/DAT quality audio. The higher the data rate, the larger the file size, and the more storage required.

Real-Time ColorFX:

Real-time ColorFX lets you manipulate color and see the results immediately, without waiting for rendering. Adjust tint, saturation, brightness, contrast, colorization, posterization and solarization in real-time for stunning color effects. Plus, you can combine various adjustments toreate and save your own custom color effects. Built-in preset color effects include black and white, sepia, cobalt, fade up, fade down, standard color and inverse color

MotionFX:

Using Media 100's built-in digital signal processing to create field interpolated motion effects with superior picture quality, Motion FX alters the speed (slow-motion/fast-motion) and direction (forward/backward) of video, and apply effects such as freeze and strobe to video. Effects are perfectly smooth with the on-line quality of high-cost linear systems, and they can be previewed in real time to speed the editing process.

24 Accelerated Transition Effects:

Quick rendering FastFX offers a variety of accelerated wipes and other transition effects, including wipe, iris diamond, clock wipe, wedge wipe, radial wipe, inset, band wipe, iris cross, barn doors, iris square, iris round and venetian blinds. Functionality also includes border and softness settings. (Rendering time varies proportionately with your computers power and speed.)

Alpha Channel Support:

Media 100's QuickTime codec also supports an alpha channel for real-time, lossless import/export of files with alpha channels. (The alpha channel assigns a value from 0-255 to a graphic image, or video to determine the level of image transparency.) Media 100 is alpha channel compliant, and includes a CODEC (compression/decompression) eliminating the need to first interpret a graphics file and then make another copy, thereby degrading image quality.
