With the announcement of MC5.5, there appears to be some confusion about
upgrades. Here's some more info to help clarify your options:
Avid Media Composer 5 Owners:
Once Media Composer 5.5 is released a downloadable upgrade for Media
Composer 5 users who purchased before Feb. 8th will be available direct from
Avid for $149 or you may purchase a boxed upgrade that also includes the
Avid Production Suite with 3rd party software from us at $395. The only
change in the 3rd party software is that Boris Continuum AVX has been
updated to ver 7.
Do I qualify for a free upgrade?
You're eligible to receive a free upgrade to Media Composer 5.5 if you meet
one of the following requirements:
* You purchased and registered a full or upgrade version of Media Composer 5
on or after February 8, 2011 (register your full version or upgrade)
* You have a valid Avid Support contract/plan (just log in to the Download
Center to get your free upgrade when available)
Avid Xpress Pro/DV or Media Composer 3/4 Owners:
The boxed upgrade to MC5.5 with the Avid Production Suite from MC4.x or
older, Xpress Pro or Xpress DV will be $895.
You can save $200 by purchasing the Media Composer 5 boxed upgrade before
March 8th for $695 from Videoguys (while supplies last).
Make sure you register ASAP, then download the FREE upgrade to 5.5 from
Avid, when it is released March 8th. http://www.webvideoguys.com/mc55.html
