A question before I buy Avid
by Anthony Doyle on Jun 22, 2009 at 11:12:48 am

Hi,

I'm currently looking into buying the Avid Media Composer system but just want to make sure of one thing before I do this.

My main concern is transferring files between a Mac and a Windows PC. We plan on doing a lot of logging and capturing on a Mac laptop and then transferring the files to an edit suite running on PCs. I'm just wondering if problems still exist between these platforms or if it will be hassle-free?

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

All the best,

Anthony.

Macs and PC's play together pretty nicely now. As long as you are using Avid's Media Log, shouldn't have any problem with logging on either system and getting those files into the Avid...

A little late to this but...

Inconsistencies or issues between the Macintosh OS and the Windows OS are what they are wether or not an Avid product is involved. The media and project files generated by Media Composer/ Symphony have been OS independent for as long as the software could run on both platforms.
