  Upgrading from MC 4/0 to MC 5.5 ??

  Posted by Ross Spears on September 6, 2011 at 12:13 am

  Question:

  I started a long project about a year ago using AVID Media Composer 4.0.5. I am now thinking of upgrading to Media Composer 5.5. Will that cause me any problems with all the hours of stuff I have now digitized using 4.0.5? Are all AVID upgrades backwards compatible?

  Thanks, Ross

  The first question is what is in v5.5 that you feel you need to complete this project and can it wait till you’re between projects?

  If not, projects can move forward, I was just reading on Facebook someone opened a project done in 1993 with a version 2 of Media Composer in a 2011 v5.5. Make sure your project is backed up in case you need to go back to v4, but for the most part, you should be fine moving forward. Is it possible for you to test on a different system?
