  • Does AVID FX 6 come with AVID Media Composer 6? (Because mine has FX 5.8)

    Posted by John Brune on December 13, 2012 at 1:31 pm

    I downloaded additional filters for Boris Continuum Complete for my Media Composer 6.0.1 system and it’s supposed to be compatible with AVID FX 6–when I went to install the new filters it wasn’t compatible. I checked my system folder and found that AVID FX was only version 5.8–WTF?!! I wondered why it wasn’t version 6 like Media Composer. Since I don’t think like a software developer my best guess is that this sort of thing must only come as part of the Media Composer 6.5 upgrade. Am I correct? If so then that sucks. How much is a 6.5 upgrade? I went to AVID’s website and only got more confused–they only had full editions of 6.5 for sale and I saw no upgrade options. Any insights?

    Thanks!

    Look in your avid MC 6 installer.

    Yes, it still comes with Avid FX 6, but it sounds like you forgot to install it.

    It’s installed. My question is why I didn’t get FX 6. I need 6 but my software says it’s version 5.8. I thought the versions were in sync with each other.

    How do I check my installer? All I see are uninstallers?
