Media 100


Media 100 is a manufacturer of video editing software and non-linear editing systems designed for professional cutting and editing. The editing systems can be used with AJA Video Systems, Blackmagic or matrox hardware or as software-only solution with Firewire support and run exclusively on Macs. The current released software version is Media 100 Suite Version 2.1.8 and runs on macOS 10.14.x, macOS 10.13.4, macOS 10.12, OS X 10.11, OS X 10.10, OS X 10.6.7, 10.7.x, 10.8.x, 10.9.x and 10.10.x.
In the past, the editing systems were nearly exclusively based on custom hardware boards to be placed into Apple Macintosh computers, but Microsoft Windows-based systems were available as well. Media 100 was established as a division of Marlboro, Massachusetts-based Data Translation, Inc. then spun off as an independent company in 1996. After absorbing or merging with several companies it entered bankruptcy proceedings, with its assets and employees acquired by Optibase in March 2004. It is owned by Boris FX, which acquired the company from Optibase in October 2005.
