searching the forums... (wow, 5-years since I last logged in here. )
I am trying to find info on installing Avid on my MacBook Pro... I'ver gone over the specification sheets, etc... (which read like cryptic stereo-installation instructions) but am still a little baffled... if anyone knows of some good info here in the forums that I probably haven't located (case in point this thread) would you be so kind as to drop a few replies with links to them, if you can easily put your finger on them?
I've recently decided to leave behind my career in TV Journalism and go to Film School, where I just completed my first semester in a cinema post-production program in Santa Fe... and I've got my mitts on a small 13" MacBook and I'd really like to install Avid on it if I can.
the laptop specs are:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012); 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB
I've run versions of Avid on some pretty shady equipment in years past, of course them were the days of disk-only installation... but in these new fandangled modern days of online downloads, etc.. I've tried downloading the latest version for a 'free trial' etc.. but I can't get past the Install.pkg... Has the latest software version of Avid just not work at ALL on 10.11.5? or are the requirements now so strict that it won't even install unless the machine meets minimum specs...
(the old days you could at least do the full install, even if your hardware was incompatable with the certified equipment list...)
If I can't get Avid installed, then I'll be forced to go to Premiere Pro... *yikes!* any Suggestions, or even better... Links to more info... would be appreciated.
Meanwhile.. my forum search continues!
Cheers y'all! (Good to be back!)
