    With NAB just around the corner is there any news to what Avid will be offering. I was thinking about upgrading to 6.5 but I will wait If they are coming out with something new soon. 7.0 maybe

    Anyone who would know would be under NDA and couldn’t talk about it .

    If I were in a position to wait, I would.

    If you need to edit now, download the trial. It’s good for thirty days, fully functional.

    It’ll be a year before they get 7.0 stable anyways so it’s not like it’s going to be ready to go even if it is announced at NAB.

    With NAB just 3 weeks away, I would just wait and see. if they announce and demo the next version, you can decide whether the feature set is something you need and have a better idea of when it will be released.

    I believe that upgrades should be motivated by features or needs. 5.5 was excellent software, 6.0 was great upgrade and completely worth it for the 64-bit capabilities. 6.5 is a great product, but unless you need better AMA workflows there isn’t a ton of motivation to make the jump in my opinion.
