Avid Media Composer Software with Dongle Video Editing Software

Media Composer is the most proven video editing software in the industry, trusted by professional editors in every segment of film, television, and broadcast. Designed to handle high volumes of disparate file-based media, Media Composer delivers accelerated high-res-to-HD workflows, real-time collaboration, and powerful media management, eliminating time-consuming tasks so you can focus on telling a great story.
This version of Media Composer Software provides you with a non-expiring, perpetual software license, plus one year of Avid Support.

This product includes Dongle: Relies on the use of a special USB device (e.g. an iLOK USB Key) to carry the licensing rights. An application running on a specific machine can consume the license from the Hardware Key to allow it to activate. Once the Hardware Key is removed from the machine, the application will not operate. The Hardware Key licensing model allows for portability of licensing, allowing you to carry your entitlements with you independent of the device you use.
