RE: [Avid-L2] Videoguys' Guide (with Video) to Avid Media Composer | Software

" Avid's smartest move would be to do whatever they have to, to put a non
buggy, fully functional copy of Media Composer on as many students'
computers as possible."

Wise words my friend. I know Avid knows this and they are looking to attack
it.

Thanks Gary. I'm sure your Guide will be helpful.

On the subject of Educational pricing; my employer hires about a half dozen
paid college students interns every year. Part of my job is giving the
interns an orientation and setting up their ISIS and Interplay accounts. In
the past few years, only a few have ever edited on Media Composer. Their
experience is mostly Adobe. The bad news for Avid is that if the big users
can't find editors with Avid experience, they won't be buying the big dollar
hardware Avid wants to sell. The good news for Avid is that the students I
see are (for the most part) frighteningly smart and pick up MC skills very
quickly. Avid's smartest move would be to do whatever they have to, to put a
non buggy, fully functional copy of Media Composer on as many students'
computers as possible. --J.B.
