Avid Xpress Pro 5.5 Now Shipping
Great news for Avid Xpress Pro users, 5.5 is now shipping providing HD capabilities for both PC and MAC platforms. Avid Xpress Pro 5.5 supports native HDV and DVCPro HD. You'll be able to mix HDV, DVCPRO HD and Avid DNxHD formats with SD and DV in the same sequence. This version also ships with custom music creation software.
Just a side note, If you are new to video editing and are in the market for a editing machine, but don't know if you want to go Avid Xpress Pro or Final Cut Pro, why not do both? We are constantly inquired by producers who are just beginning their careers and can't make up their minds. What I usually tell them is that a Mac will give you the option of using both great programs, unless for some reason you detest Macs. When Apple fixes the bugs with the new Mactel's ability to run Xpress Pro on Windows, then it's an even easier decision. Give me a Mac or a PC and a good script and I'm happy!
