Avid has announced that the latest versions of its audio and video production programs – Pro Tools 11 and Media Composer 7 – are available for purchase on Mac OS X.

Pro Tools 11 promises to redefine professional music and audio production with all-new audio and video engines, 64-bit performance, expanded metering, and new HD video workflows.

According to Avid, “Pro Tools 11 enables you to take on the most demanding sessions and maximize your creativity—without holding anything back.”

Pro Tools 11 requires OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 4GB of RAM (8 GB recommended), and 15GB of free hard disk space for installation.

As far as Media Composer 7 is concerned, filmmakers get accelerated high-res-to-HD workflows, automated media management, and support for Interplay Sphere for Mac OS X.

Available now at a discount, Media Composer 7 lets you “experience the fastest file-based media workflows, ACE-certified tools, and the most trusted media management in the industry,” Avid says.

Media Composer 7 requires Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion (64-bit), Intel Quad Core i7 or Quad Core Xeon processor, and a minimum 4GB RAM (for basic functions).
