>>
>> 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.
