Re: [Avid-L2] Introducing Avid Pro Tools "First" -- For Free

 

The problem is new minds.  Many of us have been Using Media Composer for decades...

30 days isn't enough time for someone new to get to know the product.  A stripped down version with limited FX or restricted ability to export/output full quality could be a training tool for the next generation of editors.

Maybe making the quality tool only work in draft mode or lower would do the trick to a free version of Media Composer.  That way one could train on the product, or try out new versions for longer than 30 days, then when they want to do work for real, they can pull the switch on the full version.

Certainly a better option than what I assume many broke college students probably do, download a hacked version and never pay for it.

Though from the AVID perspective, they are already giving you 30 days free, and you can license access in 30 day increments.

My .02 and 5 bucks will get you a cup of coffee.

But where is the money for future R&D from free products?
BMD has hardware to offset the software...

Whats next in app advertising like Scratch Play?

I'd rather pay for professional tools that continually advance the art.

Yeah, I ran both of those free apps as well.

In the new world order of free products (Resolve, Fusion), which are clearly intended to capture market share, I wonder if "Media Composer First" is right around the corner.
