Avid 4.0 MC on Lion
Posted by Sarah Azad on August 23, 2012 at 7:38 pmI am currently running Snow Leopard and wanted to upgrade to Lion, not Mountain Lion yet…will Avid MC 4.0 run on Lion? I’ve heard Avid MC 5.5 and 6.0 work fine on Lion but rather not upgrade unless I have to.
Thanks in advance!

August 23, 2012 at 11:11 pmIf you need iCloud, and if you use Avid to earn a living…then you should get two computers. One for Avid and earning a living, the other for personal stuff. Yeah…that is expensive and sucks, but what you have to do if you need to use older software, but need new features of new OS.
That’s what I have had to resort to doing.
