Avid Media Composer 8 is a industry-grade video editing software. The Avid editing software is capable of handling high-definition video so you can have a professional-looking result. Basically, the Avid editing software is powerful. That’s why it’s just as important to have a computer or laptop that meet the minimum system requirements for a fast editing workflow every time.

When it comes to video editing, you’re going to need ever-increasing performance and storage needs. It’s best to choose a computer or laptop that has a decent overhead in processing power and memory to exceed all your video editing needs. For optimal performance and reliability, choose an Avid-qualified Windows-based or Apple computer.
