John Pavley and Richard Trismen’s application MediaBlender was well received by users at the 1991 MacWorld but within weeks it had fallen foul of company politics.

After a two-year battle with Aldus and Quark in the desktop publishing industry, Letraset decided to focus on ColorStudio and fonts. It closed the Graphic Design Software group that included the consumer editing team. Pavley recalls:

Richard and I bought the rights to Media Blender for $50, developed it further while doing contract work for Apple but in the end, we sold MediaBlender to another developer.

MediaBlender was never released. Pavley became manager of Apple's System Software Evangelists, a group that included QuickTime.
