Avid Media Composer is now $295 for students

[nick]

This popped up in my email today. Looks like Avid is finally fighting back against Final Cut Pro.

$295 for Media Composer for students, plus 4 years of free upgrades.

I like FCP as much the next guy, but most broadcast TV stuff still cuts on Avid... and Avid handles multiclips a LOT better than Final Cut, in my opinion.

This is a good deal... it may be worth checking out for some people.
