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, Boris
Continuum Complete, and NewBlue Title Pro. If you purchase 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.
Activating Media Composer Third-Party Products
Some third-party products that are included in your purchase have specific activation workflows.
Such products are Squeeze Lite, Squeeze Standard, and NewBlue Ampliphy. When buying,
installing, and activating Media Composer that has these products in its package, you should
bear in mind the following:
• NewBlue Ampliphy has its own license to be activated. It is displayed on the Licensing tab.
• Squeeze Lite can be activated with a subscription or floating license along with Media
Composer.
• NewBlue v2.0 and v2.5 are not displayed on the Licensing tab even when activated.
• NewBlue v2.0 is activated along with any Media Composer license type.
• NewBlue v.2.5 is activated with Media Composer subscription license.
