7 Additional Options and Plug-Ins
In addition to activating the Avid Editing Application, there are several editing options (for
Media Composer) and plug-ins (for Pro Tools) that can be purchased and activated through
Application Manager.
For Media Composer, you can purchase additional options by visiting the Avid web
store and clicking Software Options for Video Editing. After that you can use
Application Manager to activate your option.
There may also be free third-party software included with your purchase. Avid Editing
Applications may come bundled with 3rd-party software such as Sorenson Squeeze, Avid
FX, Boris Continuum Complete, and Avid DVD. If you purchased a new copy or upgrade of
the Avid Editing Application, activation codes are included in your Avid Account. If you are
covered by an Elite support plan, or are a student with Avid Media Composer Academic and
are within your no-charge upgrade period of 4 years, you can obtain activation codes by
entering your system ID at www.avid.com/mc3party.
For Pro Tools, there are two ways of purchasing the plug-ins. Read the description of
each of them below.
Purchasing Plug-Ins
There are two ways on purchasing a plug-in:
Directly from within Pro Tools – this way is called In-App Purchase
On the Avid.com/shop web site – this way is called Out-App Purchase
Both of these ways are described in details in the following sections.
In-App Purchase
To purchase a plug-in while working with Pro Tools, do the following:
1. Staying in Pro Tools, click Buy for the plug-in you want to have.
This opens a dialog prompting you to enter your billing information.
