Media Composer | NewsCutter Option from Avid is a 20 pack of floating licenses for the education version of the NewsCutter option, a plugin that adds the functionality of the NRCS Tool - previously found in now discontinued NewCutter - to Media Composer for Windows. This license requires you be registered with Avid as a student, teacher, or educator and that you have an Avid Floating License Server connected to your network to distribute the floating licenses. Additionally, if you have an existing Floating License Server you will need to supply your Floating License Server's System ID when purchasing.

The NRCS Tool opens an iNEWS or ENPS interactive session within Media Composer. With this, editors can view rundowns and scripts and edit video to scripts by dropping selected or pre-selected (based on locaters created in iNEWS) text directly to the timeline. Clips are pre-timed to reporter's read rate. The The NRCS Tool is designed to improve, simplify, and speed up story creation between journalist and editor, and features full functionality with Asian-language scripts. Additionally, it allows you to send mail within iNEWS workgroups.

Q: 5. If this is an upgrade FROM an educational license, why is proof of current educational status required? I have an educational license for version 7.1 but no longer qualify. I want to upgrade to a full perpetual license for the 2020 version. Is this the right product for me?

A: This version is an upgrade from a lower version of Sibelius (your 7.1 software) to an educational version of Ultimate, which is why proof of current educational status is required. The educational versions are exactly the same software as the regular retail version, just offered at a discounted price to qualifying students and teachers. For an upgrade to Ultimate (non-educational) with a perpetual license with one year of support and upgrades, "Sibelius | Ultimate Trade Up from Sibelius - Download (B&H # SIUTUSS)" seems to be the version you are looking for. To confirm whether or not you may still be eligible for the educational discount and status of your license for your current Sibelius 7.1 software, please contact Avid's tech support. You can reach them by phone at 978-275-2556. Business hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm PST.
