Avid Media Composer | Software is now available in 3 license types making it the perfect professional editing solution for everyone.

One of the big announcements at NAB from Avid is that customers will have the choice to have Media Composer  their way.  You can still own a perpetual license that together with an annual support contract will entitle you to all upgrades, for free,  during the support contract.  With new monthly and annual Media Composer subscription options, customers can now gain access to the latest Media Composer toolset, support, and upgrades. They also announced a new Software floating licensing for large-scale media enterprises, post-production houses, and educational institutions,  making it possible to purchase a “pack” of shared licenses to deploy facility-wide using a single system ID
