New Subscriptions
Are you new to​ Avid Media Composer?
If you do not own an Avid Media Composer license you have two subscription options available.

  1. MC | Standard provides you with a standard Media Composer License. It will not run with Nexis shared storage.
  2. MC | Ultimate includes Symphony color correction, PhraseFind,  and ScriptSync
  3. MC | Ultimate lets you collaborate using Nexis shared storage. 

Subscription Renewals
Do you have an Avid Media Composer Subscription License?​


The subscriptions can be easily renewed with these versions. The difference between a Subscription Renewal and a new subscription is that these will easily extend the term of your current subscription license for another year. You can add these at any time and Avid Account Manager will extend from your current expiration date.​
