Avid Media Composer First review: Get all the pro features with just a few limitations
(PCWorld)

Avid Media Composer First is the free version of one of Hollywood´s most popular film and TV editing programs. It offers many of the same features you´ll find in the pro version, but exporting is limited to 1080p resolution, and it maxes out at four video tracks and eight audio tracks. If you have the patience to grapple with its complexity, it´s excellent software for learning professional video editing skills.Getting started with Avid Media Composer First is hard. The download and installation process is very long, and you have to create and sign into an online account to launch the application. Once you´re in, the interface offers very little in the way of guidance. There are no step-by-step wizards here, though you can right-click on most things and click What´s this? to open an explainer in a browser. You´ll have to look online for tutorials, and while there are good ones, you´ll find that Avid is a very sophisticated program with a steep learning curve.To read this article in full, please click here
