Avid Media Composer on a Mac

Video editing (Avid); macOS compatibility check and plan cost · AV & Stage

Media Composer is Avid's video editor for film, television and post-production, sold by subscription (Media Composer, Ultimate and Enterprise) and usually paired with Avid NEXIS shared storage; Avid Link installs it, manages the licence and delivers updates. Avid qualifies each release for particular macOS versions and Macs, often weeks or months after Apple ships them, so an edit suite should not take a macOS upgrade until Avid lists it. FrontierStack finds Media Composer and Avid Link on this Mac and checks the installed version against Avid's qualification table for the running macOS, this Mac's Apple chip and the next macOS release, warns in Security Updates before a macOS upgrade Avid hasn't qualified, and can raise an alert. Record your subscription here and it counts toward SaaS spend in Spend & Billing.
