Equally Powerful on Mac and PC

No cost to switch platforms.
Use the most powerful machine you can find, on the platform of your choice—Universal version for PowerPC and Intel-based Macs or Windows XP. With both platforms included in every box, you can work on one platform at work, another on the road, no problem. Change your platform later? Just take the software with you.

Easily move projects from Mac to PC.
Just moving from a desktop to a laptop is extremely difficult for other non-linear editors. With Avid, it's easy—even if the computers are different platforms. Now you have maximum flexibility to start your project on a Mac notebook, move to a PC desktop, and then back again.

Tap into Mac OS X effects.
With Noise Industries' Factory Tool*s (Mac only), a trial version included with Avid Xpress Pro software, you can take advantage of nearly 100 real-time, flexible effects that you won't find anywhere else.

No learning curve.
Take any freelance job on either platform without hesitation. The Avid Xpress Pro interface and feature set are nearly identical on Mac and PCs. Your customized user settings are also dual-platform: save the user settings file to a USB thumb drive to bring your customized settings to your next job.
