Hello to everybody, I've just subscribed this forum and I want to give everybody a virtual handshake hoping to be welcome.

I've just finished a video-editing school where I learnt how to work on Avid Xpress. Now, as the school is over I would like to start working somehow, but as everybody knows, starting is hard, so I bought Macbook pro Intel 2,4 Ghz running Mac OS Leopard 10.5.6.
Then I found a cheap used version of Avid Xpress DV 4.1.1 and I just wonder if I can buy it or not, because I don't know if it will work.

So my question is: can everybody please tell me which Avid versions will run safely on my Macbook intel? My problem is that with my budjet I won't probably soon be able to effort a brand new Media composer, so I thought about starting with an older and chaper version and then buy the upgrade to Media Composer 3.0.

Thanks a lot in advance and my best wishes for Cristmas.

HI and welcome. The only version of the Avid software that will run on an Intel Mac is the Media Composer. XDV and Xpress 'Pro are no longer made by Avid. You can get MC soft for only $295 with you student discount.

You can not use educational versions for paying work. 

If you find a full version at a discount  then by all means live long and prosper.
