If You Love Someone Set Them FREE

A brief moment of silence for the loss of FREEdom, please...

I learned today that Avid has discontinued Avid Free DV. This is very sad news. Avid Free is one of the first place I send students who want to get a familiarity with the editing conventions of the Avid environment. It didn't contain enough functionality to make it viable as a commercial editing application, but it could certainly give you the skills you need to move to the next level as an editor.

Avid says there are plenty of other avenues to become familiar with their software, but I for one am in mourning.
