Media 100HD

[ACP]

Waiting to receive our camera. Can the Red be compatible with Media 100HD?
It runs on a dual 2.7 G5 with 3.5 gigs of ram. For now we do our editing in SD.

The G5 Power PC will be a problem for RedCine. It only works on intel Macs. See if you can get a cheap fast XP system for RedCine.
Project 4k will let you use Adobe Premier Pro with R3D natively I believe. I maybe wrong.
Adobe Premier is a pretty cheap editing system, and you can knock together a PC cheap and load it with 1TB drives to give yourself a bit of room to work with.

I am abandoning my trusty old G5s. The new machines are just too good.
My recommendation is that you through 5k at a new Mac Pro with FCS2, that would be well worth the money, and the FC cards are priced okay, so you can get a G-speed or something like that.
Good luck ACP.

Thanks for the reply, but I think you misunderstood my question. I realize that RedCine needs th intel mac, I was wondering since we edit on Media100HD (G5 config) and Media100i (G4 config) can I download the footage from the Red camera drives to my edit systems? What would be the best work flow to accomplish editing on the Media 100 system, if possible?

Media 100? What happened? (circa 1990's)
