RE: [Avid-L2] Avid/FCP Partitioning

I too have both on one drive so that I can switch back and forth. Last
night when teaching a video production class, when FCP wouldn't work
properly with the projector I had set up, I swapped to Avid, then showed
the students how that program worked....

$799 academic for FCP Vs $250 academic for MC got their attention really
fast.
