A quick question:
Let's say, hypothetically, that a person makes a short film in film school and edits it on Media Composer Academic, and then submits that short film to major film festivals.
The short film was made without any commercial intentions, but it won major accolades at the festivals and distributors are interested in acquisitions for broadcast and/or disc medium distribution.
Now, even though it was edited on Media Composer Academic, can the person still negotiate acquisition deals for the film, because the original intention was to showcase the film, and not to sell it strictly?
Because it would seem that if that isn't a possibility, that an Academic version of anything would be a huge impediment to career progression and increased exposure, given the fact that essentially one would have to reject all of those offers merely because of the fact that it had been edited on an Academic system.
