Linked Avid Accounts

Avid is committed to providing streamlined account access to users.  Over time, we will make it easier for customers to enter their account login information once, and receive access to all portions of the site that require you to login today.
Important: Before accessing your existing accounts, you must first create an Avid Master Account.  If you have not yet created a master account, click "Create an account". 
Once created, login to your existing Avid accounts as usual. Your account will now be tied to your new Avid Master Account.  Do this process for each of your individual Avid accounts.  Once completed you can now login with one username and password to access all your individual Avid accounts.
Some Avid web properties will continue to require separate logins, but we’ve already begun the process of simplifying account access. By entering your information below, you’ll be able to access to all of the following:
<ul>
<li>account.avid.com (which now also refers to anyone with a former “MyDigi” account)</li>
<li>store.avid.com</li>
<li>esd.avid.com (the Download Center)</li>
<li>community.avid.com (the Avid Video Community)</li>
<li>ac.avid.com (Avid Artist Community)</li>
</ul>

Access to your MyDigi, Avid Store or Avid Support Center accounts.

<h3>Avid Master Account details</h3>
Your Avid Master Account lets you:
<ul>
<li>Manage your profile settings</li>
<li>Download and activate your products</li>
<li>View your product details</li>
<li>Access the Support Center</li>
</ul>
<a href="/account/accountinfo">Access your account</a>

Next, Link Your Existing Accounts ... Your new Avid Master Account has now been created. You can now link your existing Avid Download Center (esd.avid.com) and Avid Video Community (community.avid.com) accounts to your master account (you must link these accounts to login to these systems).

Welcome back. On this page you can access your most commonly used account applications, as well as manage your profile settings for your Avid master account. <a href="/US/resources/avid-master-account-faq">View the Master Account FAQ</a>

Given the close engineering and marketing support that Avid provides to its developers, we do not make our SDKs, technical documentation, and other developer benefits available publicly. Instead, we carefully consider every application, then partner with those companies and individuals who are able and committed to developing valuable, unique products for commercial resale. We do not make this program available for the purpose of evaluation, experimentation, or academic study. Avid operates its developer program in this manner in order to provide the highest level of support to our valued partners, and to make sure that our developers are pursuing opportunities that complement the overall strategic direction of our audio platform.
We look for companies and individuals with established audio products and/or demonstrable audio expertise, knowledge of Pro Tools, and DSP programming experience. We also look for applicants who currently have the technical expertise to deliver quality products to market in a timely fashion. If you feel that you qualify for this program, please fill out all of the fields below, and we will consider your application thoughtfully. Please be prepared to discuss your development plans, timeframe, and commitment to Pro Tools development with us once you have applied.
Please fill out the form below. Provided your application meets our requirements, we will respond as soon as possible. Thank you very much for your interest in the Avid Development Partners Program!

Avid appreciates your interest in the Avid Audio Development Partners program. If you’re application is complete, we’ll get back to you within 10 business days, and in most cases sooner. We truly appreciate your interest in Avid and in creating new tools for excellent audio production.

They are also suitable for certain types of processing where there is no real-time benefit or application, such as normalization or time compression.
 
 AMA
 
 Avid Media Access is a plugin architecture that accelerates tapeless video workflows. With AMA, you can simply connect a support card/disc or device and begin viewing and cutting footage right away – no need to transcode media or use other software to view the extra clips.

 Pro Tools | First
 
 Plugins tagged with Pro Tools | First in the Compatibility list are AAX Native 64 plugins specifically suited to Pro Tools | First. They do not require an iLok and are more affordably priced than other plugins in the listings. They are high quality plugins compatible with Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD, but some of the bundles that include the word ‘First’ in the bundle name may contain plugins that are already included with Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD software. Pro Tools | First will work with any plugins purchased from the Avid Store, however some plugins require an iLok, so check the ‘Specification’ tab to see if an iLok is required if you do not own an iLok.

<h2>COMPATIBILITY NOTES</h2>
Pro Tools | First
Plugins tagged with Pro Tools | First in the Compatibility list are AAX Native 64 plugins specifically suited to Pro Tools | First. They do not require an iLok and are more affordably priced than other plugins in the listings. They are high quality plugins compatible with Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD, but some of the bundles that include the word ‘First’ in the bundle name may contain plugins that are already included with Pro Tools and Pro Tools | HD software. Pro Tools | First will work with any plugins purchased from the Avid Store, however some plugins require an iLok, so check the ‘Specification’ tab to see if an iLok is required if you do not own an iLok.
