..one could just upload through sites like megaupload...

but i have to admit...i found the last copz my dealer had..so thanks..i got it!!

in case of anyone have the demo... (soorry for the dumb question) how could be sended?

The trial versions for 4.x were Broadcast-based. There'd be no point praising the wonders of our P2/XDCAM workflows, if no one could play with the formats first..

[tingsern]

I don't think there is such a thing as "broadcast" trial version. Since to activate broadcast modules requires the use of a dongle ....

[hvx_germanboy]

Thats exactly why i need the help of someone with a copy of the "Broadcast"trial of Edius around...that would be the only way to do it..!

So anyone around?!

Thanks..!

[tingsern]

KH is absolutely correct. In my EDIUS 4.61, if I remove the broadcast dongle, ALL the broadcast related items disappear from the menu.

There are TWO dongles here - one for EDIUS 4.61 and a second for broadcast stuff.

You cannot do the P2 ACCESS and stuff like that without the broadcast dongle in the computer.

[GrassValley_KH]

I believe that won't entirely solve the problem. From memory, if you install a retail EDIUS 4.x copy onto a system, you will indeed get 30 days of free use, but the Broadcast-specific components are flat out unavailable/unsupported.

That's the key difference between a dongle-free retail 4.x and a 30-day trial 4.x..


(in either instance, though, it should be noted that VariCam and VariCam-related presets won't work at all without a dongle)

Just install your version up to 4.51c. He can use it for 30 days.

[hvx_germanboy]

Hmm..i see..but i guess if i get a 4.5 trial, it should work fine..!

Anybody else here?
I guess 4.6 with P2/Broadcast would make it too..!

[GrassValley_KH]

Sorry, cannot help you there. Perhaps someone has an old trial disc they can send you.

I see though, from your sig that you are using 4.51c - it will be tricky to get exactly that version as a trial, to ensure compatibility with your full copy.

Hey Folks..

i do need to install the trial version of Edius 4.5 to a freinds pc..he is thinking about getting it, but wants to play around with a project we started on my computer (with broadcast and dongle..).

However, it must be the trial version including Broadcast/P2-support..!
As we want to demonstrate how to swap projects from mine to his PC we need the Version 4 and cant work with the trial of version 5 as i am still working on a big project and still cant make the move to Edius 5..!

Anybody here with a solution to donwload the trial of 4.5 somewhere..GV-folks..?

Thanks a lot..!
