"VIEW Software Download Links & Product Details"

[midnightrambler]

This is another small moan (don't worry, I'm building a massive list of awful bugs for Sketch which I'll report on later), but why is this (attached) considered a normal amount of things to download? I've counted 43 things to download on that page underneath "Software downlinks". If I were a new user I would be completely overwhelmed, and as it is I find it very, very irritating. Could this page not be simplified in some way?

In particular, the “complete plugin bundle” is one plugin at a time. I’m sure they have their reasons. As one who saves ALL his installers, it does add significantly to my storage list.

Hi midnightrambler,

Thank you for your feedback. The Avid Complete Bundle installer was once a single installer which allow customers to download the plugins all at once, but to give customers more freedom to choose which plugin to download and install, the once bundled installer was turned into a individual download so they can choose which one to download.

For new customers, the installation includes Avid Link, which has an "Install All" Option to make the process somehow less complicated.

This is good to know. Except...don't you have to install ProTools in order to get the Avid Link? This may not be obvious to a new user.

For new customers, the whole workflow will get them to Avid Link automatically and get the installation started as long as they go through the whole process, this even include license activation if they are going to use iLok cloud authorization.

No you don't have to install PT to get Link. It is a separate line item in your MyAvid " View My Products" once you log in and it is also a download on Avid.com at:
