New Subscriptions
Are you new to Avid Media Composer?
If you do not own an Avid Media Composer license you have two subscription options available.
- MC | Standard provides you with a standard Media Composer License. It will not run with Nexis shared storage.
- MC | Ultimate includes Symphony color correction, PhraseFind, and ScriptSync
- MC | Ultimate lets you collaborate using Nexis shared storage.
Subscription Renewals
Do you have an Avid Media Composer Subscription License?
The subscriptions can be easily renewed with these versions.
