Media 100 today announced that Media 100 HD version 10.1.3 is now available as a free download for users of Media 100 HD version 10 and later. This HD and SD nonlinear editing solution makes it easy to work in the hybrid environment of mixed formats and codecs.

(PRWEB) January 9, 2006 -- Media 100, a leading provider of advanced editing systems for the corporate, broadcast, post-production, and multi-media industries, today announced that Media 100 HD version 10.1.3 is now available as a free download for users of Media 100 HD version 10 and later. This HD and SD nonlinear editing solution makes it easy to work in the hybrid environment of mixed formats and codecs.

”We continue to improve the Media 100 HD product by making it more stable during this period of transition to management by Boris FX,” said Steve Bayes, Director of Product Marketing for Media 100. “ We will release a full development roadmap soon with important announcements at NAB.”

Featuring the most intuitive and easy-to-learn professional NLE interface, Media 100 HD is a powerful nonlinear HD and SD editing solution. This version is ideal for Media 100 users who want move up to higher quality SD, move to an Apple G5 with optimized Macintosh G5-based acceleration, increase their speed and expand their future business to HD. With the turnkey integration of Media 100’s own HDX board and the easy to use Media 100 traditional interface, this NLE makes it easy to work in the hybrid environment of mixed formats and codecs.

Among the bug fixes in Version 10.1.3 are improved clip properties for the bin’s list view setting. This provides users more flexibility when viewing bin clips. Improved audio and video sync on Acquire corrects a problem where output sync could be off by 2100 samples. Version 10.1.3 now properly renders real-time effects for the established duration. In previous versions, not rendering the last frame of the transition could occasionally cause a visible jump.
