    Yes I think so 2.2.3

    I beginning to think it can’t run on a MBP. What is your system?

    Well I tested it on a Mac Pro, 8-core, Nahalem machine. I haven’t actually tried it on my MacBook Pro yet.

    Regarding this entire thread, I am definitely a MAC FCP junkee (
    hoping apple will not disappoint us in the near future…)and also thinking of learning AVID . Can someone maybe give me an idea as to what version I should get (since I”m clueless when it comes to AVID)
    maybe the equivalent of FCP7 +compressor+DVDstudio pro ? just to begin with…

    Thanks for this!

    The Avid Media Composer production bundle comes with Sorenson Squeeze (Compressor equivalent), Boris effects…a few music library DVDs…and a DVD authoring program that is WINDOWS compatible. No Mac one yet. There is no “Studio” Bundle like FCP and Premiere has…it’s mainly the NLE with a couple side apps. Sorenson is VERY useful though.

    Great forum, I was wondering the same since I’m planning on slowly migrating from FCP to AVID.

    Has anyone tried Media Composer 6? I’m thinking of getting it soon. Any comments?
