And I think Marianna is always a fantastic help. That said, I do like MC, v8.9.5 is a really good editing tool. with 4sight the c4 app works off your home network (without 4sight the app only works on your home network), it gives you access to some light. 4sight is c4’s remote services subscription - basically all the cloud stuff. I have a very justifiable fear of not owning the software that is the foundation of my income. It is a 1x fee of 150 and it comes with 1 year subscription 4sight which on its own is 100 so really the software is 50. If Avid wants to phase out the old perpetual licences then it will have to do better than just offer us an audio plug-in.

I only just missed out on making a similar mistake and killing my €2000 investment (plus years of support charges), paying for the privilige and shifting to a business model that depends on the kindness of a distant corporation. I don't know exactly what Gareth was offered, but I would suggest he was sold a pup. Now, reactivating a support plan sounds exactly like what I used to pay for so I checked it out.Īvid's website and cornucopia of offers and extras is very confusing, but after a while I finally realised that what was in fact being offered was NOT a reactivation of my old support plan, but the conversion of my perpetual Media Composer licence to a subscription licence. If I did I'd get a Pro Limiter & Compressor free (which would be nice). 'Reactivate Now' is the button I needed to push in the email. Note: Reactivate. This morning I received an email from Avid Germany encouraging me to buy a ' Media Composer Upgrade & Support Plan'. I let my two support plans run out two years ago and am still working with 8.9.5. How do I install Composer programmatically As noted on the download page, the installer script contains a checksum which changes when the installer code changes and as such it should not be relied upon in the long term.
