RE: Re: [Avid-L2] OT: legal copy of MC

 

 Any mention of piracy of software isn't a "little outside the norm."   You ain't seen me be "aggressive" yet.   Anytime a Union Editor with IMDB credits pushes using Academic software in place of the Real version,  I call FUCKING BULLSHIT.   I don't give a flying rats ass if a software pirate is run the fuck off this list,  saves me the trouble of doing it myself.

Not joking. If your very first job doesn't cover the cost of the genuine software from the manufacturer then you are not a pro editor you are playing at it.

Next you'll be telling us you edit without scopes and you don't need a broadcast monitor because you've set up your view sonic screen just right and it looks great in your bedroom when you turn the big light off and work with just your Winnie the poo night light.

Greetings,

I'm a long-time FCP editor who has generally worked with post houses running FCP 7 and Premiere. But lately, I've begun developing a relationship with a company who uses MC on Macs. I downloaded the 30-day trial, but would now like to buy my own, fully-licensed, legal copy of MC.

Any info on where to buy a legit used copy, or any gotchas to look out for are much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Avid-L2] RE: OT: legal copy of MC

 

Hi all, the OP ia asking for a legal copy of the software, or second hand, calm down; and the guy is not the one complaining about high price and low income. As for the sharp fox suggesting to purchase an academic version: that's not legal for professional use, so it's not what the OP is looking for, and it's not even legal for learning the software at home like you do, if you're not a student; cutting corners is not welcome by people who do not cut the corners, you smart boy.

Thanks, Paul.  This one is a daily challenge, not because it's hard to do, but because it has to be done so quickly and done right.  There's no second chance.  The Freddy Mercury/David Bowie song "Under Pressure" is always in mind while working on it.   ;)

I answer:

When you've got to finish in a hurry, everything must be prebuilt.  It's a matt key graphic effect.

Re: [Avid-L2] OT: legal copy of MC

 

My suggestion was to help someone coming from another platform to learn more about Avid.
I spent a career in film, and in 2010 was forced to learn many new tools, none of which I had the money for,
so I appreciated the student version, and I thought this chap might as well.
It's helped me greatly, and I make no money off of it, so you all can stop panicking about that.

The rude comments and suggestion that I pirate movies were pretty uncalled for.
I use Avid professionally when not at home, and it's always legal, so they're not losing a precious dime because of me.
What a bunch of foolish whiners you all are.
Have a nice life-

Re: [Avid-L2] OT: legal copy of MC

 

Maybe it's because this week I have seen several jobs walk out my door to companies in my area that Autodesk knows are running cracked software and it a pretty sore point to someone who has over the years spent a over 5 million us on hardware and software.

The software is now so cheap there is no excuse to not go down legitimate channels and simply support the people creating the software we use to make a living.

What the original post was saying is how can I get into the sand professional software for less money than you suckers paid so I can then undercut you and take work away from you. And then I will find back and ask questions on how to achieve things that you will all willingly and happily tell me how to do.

I'm happy helping people, I'm happy to advise but I was trying to he a wake up call to the OP of if you want to play with big boy toys you have to put your money where your mouth is. Saying I come from a poor country is no excuse, I have friends in Ghana in India and Pakistan in Indonesia and more who make less than the OP stated. If you make 8000 a month and allocate 1% of your income to software you still pay for a full priced media composer in a year.

It's a ridiculous state of affairs that people complain about smoke at 3500 being overpriced when I paid literally 1 million us for my first flame with ciprico disk arrays (50,000 for 2 gig of dual interleaved ram for sgi onyx). All the kit is essentially free today so why look to save more money. If he takes three days looking for a bargain and saves 30% even at his own 8000 a month he is no better off than just ordering the damn thing online.

Anyway, I apologise if I was rude, the anger mostly came from the idiot saying buy the educational version.
