Hey, all!
I've been editing on Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere Pro these past few years but since I heard that USC uses AVID, I've been looking to learn the software right before the start of classes just to get acquainted with it (and to get over the frustration of learning something new haha). I'm thinking maybe some people are on the same boat, so maybe we can have a thread on resources we can use to learn AVID?
Anyway, I do have a question regarding purchasing AVID since they offer a free tier. Is it worth downloading the free tier first before purchasing a perpetual license later? Or are there bigger differences between the two that the AVID website isn't really telling us about (Site is here: Media Composer - Video Editing Apps - Comparison - Avid)
Also, to those who used to be on the same boat, how was it transitioning to AVID from your previous editing software?
