Batten down the hatches, it's here, it works (apparently), and it free.
For XP and OSX

"Avid Free DV was created to give everyone the ability to familiarize themselves with Avid’s award-winning user interface. Although Avid Free DV is a streamlined version of Avid's professional video editing software and has many limited capabilities, you can still learn to create some amazing videos! And at the same time you will be preparing yourself to advance on to Avid products where you will benefit dramatically with increased functionality and power." (quote - Avid site)

Warning - do not install this on your current AVID machine. (just yet)

Cheeky!

Mind you, I just downloaded the OSX version & can't even get it to run. Limited indeed...

Anyone have a bet on when Avid will figure out these kind of marketing attempts do more harm than good?

I figure it'll take em 2 more years since they tend to stumble 3 years behind.
