AVID free download on a MAC that has FCP on it
Hi Folks,
Anybody have both AVID and FCP on a laptop? I have a G4 Laptop that had FCP on it and I need to download and run the free version of AVID DV to get familiar with. Any tips?
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. I actually just tried to load the Free AVID software on my G4 laptop, and got the message “can’t find time code run generator”. I have read that if you have both editing softwares on a computer, you should “dual boot”. I’m not familiar with dual booting. I also don’t get the time code message, unless FCP has monopolized the time code thing. Any ideas on how to get this to work? I’m about to buy AVID DV just to have, but I’d like to see the free version run now, so I know that you can have both edit solutions on one laptop.
Thanks!

Can anyone direct me to a copy of Avid Free DV for Mac?
I’m trying to brush up on Avid (I’ve been off it for years using FCP) and can’t afford to buy a copy for practice. I just want to refresh my memory and play around with the interface between jobs. No heavy lifting.
I know there is a free 30 day trial of Media Composer out right now. Unfortunately, my computer does not meet the minimum system requirements–it is not running OS 10.6.3. I do, however, have an older machine, running OS 10.3.9, that could handle Avid Free DV.
Can anyone direct me to an archive of the Avid Free DV software for Mac?
For the record, I have located a copy of Avid Free DV version 1.6.1 for Windows at:

Here is a list of the Avid Free DV system requirements:

Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
