Ever since Boris FX acquired Media 100 in 2005, they have been making major strides in development to bring the venerable NLE’s featureset up to a respectable level. In June they announced Intel Mac support with the Version 11.6.2 Universal Binary upgrade. And they have now announced Media 100 version 12, which offers a number of (overdue) features and improvements.

“Media 100 Version 12 will add support for progressive frame formats as well as deeper integration with Boris RED, Boris FX, and Boris Graffiti. With version 12, you will be able to acquire, edit, and master progressive formats such as 480p, 720p 23.98, 720p 50, 720p 59.94, 720p 60, 1080PsF 23.98, 1080PsF 24, 1080p 25, 1080p 29.97, and 1080p 30. The enhanced integration with Boris FX plug-ins will allow you to apply Boris filters and preset effects directly to individual clips - right from the Media 100 timeline!”

The Media100 Version 12 expected release window is September 2007. Here is the official press release.
