AVID rips us off again
AVID is charging $995 to upgrade Software only MC 2.6.7 to 2.7. They say they are including free phone support…LOL I have never called AVID in 10yrs of editing.

Avid is supposedly offering an upgrade for MC-soft 2.x users who neither have nor want Assurance, but that price has not been announced yet. I’m working on getting the info and spreading it, but I won’t have it until Friday at the soonest.
XPro 5.7 is only a $50 upgrade. For $50, you get MacIntel Support, 720p50 PAL HD support, scrolling timeline, and a few other improvements. If you have a Mac Pro, or need 720p50, it’s worth every penny. Otherwise, I think $50 is a tad high for a scrolling timeline…I don’t care how bad you want it. 🙂
Stay tuned, I’ll post the upgrade info as soon as I hear back from Avid.

Jake let’s hope so! AVID has been getting alot of neagative press on this one. No way can a $5,000 program charge $1,000 for an upgrade that is marginal at best!

Word from Marianna Montague at Avid is that this subject is still currently under discussion at Avid, and we should know more sometime next week.
