Did you ever edit with Avid Xpress DV or Avid Xpress Pro? Perhaps you moved
on to Final Cut or Premiere Pro or another NLE over the years and your
Xpress DV or Xpress Pro Dongle is sitting around collecting dust. If you
still have the dongle, Avid wants you back. Avid is offering you one last
chance to upgrade to Media Composer for under $500!
Not only do you get Avid Media Composer 6.5 Upgrade for just $488, which is
the editing application used by the Pro's, Avid will also give you a free
upgrade to the new Media Composer 7 when it ships later this June. Videoguys
realizes that a lot has changed over the years, so we're going to give you
free Avid on-line training from Class on Demand worth another $129!
Let's talk a bit about how much Avid has changed over the years. First and
foremost, Avid Media Composer is very affordable. At NAB this past April
2013, Avid not only announced the new version, they also announced the new
MSRP for Media Composer 7 at $999, and that existing Media Composer owners
would be able to upgrade for as little as $299 to Media Composer 7. That is
a dramatic pricing change and it makes Media Composer affordable for video
editors of every level, including event cinematographers, independent
filmmakers, worship videographers, corporate video shops and online media
producers.
In addition to its new low price, Avid Media Composer now has a much lower
overall total cost of ownership. You do not require an expensive HP/Dell
workstation or Mac Pro to edit video with Media Composer. Thousands of video
editors all over the world are editing video using our DIY builds as a
guideline for putting together a powerful, yet affordable Windows PC. You
can edit on a laptop or Mac Book Pro, as well as an iMac. Media Composer
does not require any special hardware to run just as long as you stick to
the basic requirements outlined on the Media Composer Product Pages or on
the Videoguys' PC & Mac System Recommendations for Avid Media Composer 7

The major determining factor on how much computer you will actually need is
the format of your source footage (SD or HD). Editing DSLR, GoPro or AVCHD
footage takes a lot of horsepower because these formats are very compressed.
The video quality is spectacular but you need a powerful computer to work
with the media. Fortunately, you can find these powerful computers
everywhere today.
