Avid Technology has introduced a new version of its Avid Xpress Pro Academic software package, a group of HD, SD, DV, and film editing solutions for educators, students, and academic institutions.
It has a manufacturers suggested retail price of US$295 and includes Avid Xpress Pro 4.6 software for both Mac OS X and Windows XP with support for DV and SD, as well as Avid Xpress Pro HD 5.1 software for Windows XP with support for SD and HD. The Avid Xpress Pro Academic package includes Avid Xpress Pro HD software, which delivers real-time multicamera editing and support for multiple SD and HD formats and resolutions, such as Panasonic DVCPRO HD and P2, Sony XDCAM, and Avid DNxHD encodings. (Mac support for Avid Xpress Pro HD software is expected later this year.) Both Avid Xpress Pro HD and Avid Xpress Pro software offer film and video capabilities, including image stabilization and automatic color correction, plus the ability to mix different formats and resolutions on the same timeline.
The Avid Xpress Pro Academic software requires academic credentials to install and activate, and the product is not eligible for commercial or free upgrades. Go here for details.
