Platforms
The Media Workshop is a dual platform environment. PCs running Windows XP or 98, and MACs running OS 9.0 or 10 are all in use, although we attempt to bridge the gap by making them all talk to each other.

Across these platforms the software used is diverse and extensive. Our expertise with these tools is varied although we aim to offer at least a basic knowledge of all.

In addition to the software listed below, support can also be sought for other applications through our sister unit the Graphics Workshop.
