Avid Media Composer Versions
Working for many years as a Moderator for Avid's Media Composer forums and social media sites, I created a private website for myself in order to help remember exactly which versions of a computer's OS were compatible with the many versions of Avid Media Composer.
One day, someone asked if I could make it public... So I did.
You'll find each version of MC listed below as a "series". Each of the series icons below shows you the newest version in that series.
If you're looking for information on MC 2023.12, you'll click on the "MC 2023 Series" icon below. That will take you to a separate page where you can scroll down and find it.
You can also find robust info:
- at FreddyLinks
- at the Avid Version Matrix
- at the Legacy Matrix (Windows)
- at the Legacy Matrix (MAC)
- and of course, in the README files that accompany all downloads (here). Just sign into your MyAvid account and find it.
