Avid's Free Editing Software
Avid Free DV is a new piece of software from Avid that as the name implies is completely free. The application is a streamlined version of Avid’s other commercial editors and is both Mac and PC compatible. As expected the software is somewhat limited, especially in the areas of video encoding and color correction though it still remains mostly full featured. Another positive is the software has no restrictions on project saving and will allow you to save your work freely.
For a free application Avid Free DV looks decently featured especially for PC users who have been stuck with Windows Movie Maker. Though it’s hard to say if the application will be able to compete with iMovie on the Mac front, it is certainly worth a look especially if you are considering purchasing one of Avid’s other applications.
