What you need for this book

In addition to this book, you will need Avid Media Composer software, running on either a Mac or a PC. You can download a 30-day free trial of Avid Media Composer at Avid.com. While this book focuses on Avid Media Composer Version 6, because Avid has done a great job of preserving the majority of functionalities as the software has evolved, a great deal of the information will still be useful to those using other releases of the software.
