  • Uninstall and reinstall avid/ trial version

    Posted by Elizabeth Johnson on June 23, 2017 at 2:20 am

    Hi folks,

    I download Avid with the intention to learn it through a Lynda.com course, but I never actually began the Lynda course or used Avid. I think I literally opened Avid one time and never actually used it to edit. I now have the time to actually take the nine hour Lynda course, but my trial is expired. Is it possible to uninstall and reinstall Avid to get a trial version again? I don’t want to pay $75 or so/month before I try the program out.
    Thanks for any advice!

    If it were that easy, then people would do this and never pay to use it. Alas, no, you can’t do this.

    They have a new, free version, Media Composer First. I don’t know that much about it since I just heard of it, but I know it doesn’t have all the features of the full version but it will give you a taste of what Avid is like.

    MC First is not out yet but should be available before the end of this month (June) 2017.

    Thank you, all! I’m excited about Media First, eagerly awaiting it’s release hopefully by the end of this month.
