Avid’s Media Composer First, a pro level video editing app, is available for free

Byryan September 14, 2017September 20, 2017

If you’re serious about video editing and are weighing up your software options, two choices usually pop up: Adobe Premiere Pro CC and Final Cut Pro X (FCPX).

I was excited to try out MC First to figure out if I’d recommend it, and the answer is a qualified yes — I like it, but it’s not for everyone.
