Item 1.  Security and Issuer
-----------------------------

This Amendment No. 9 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 1,
2008 by Blum Capital Partners, L.P., a California limited partnership,
("Blum LP"); Richard C. Blum & Associates, Inc., a California corporation
("RCBA Inc."); Blum Strategic GP III, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company ("Blum GP III"); Blum Strategic GP III, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership ("Blum GP III LP"); Blum Strategic Partners III, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Blum Strategic III"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.L.C., a
Delaware limited liability company ("Blum GP IV"); Blum Strategic GP IV, L.P.,
a Delaware limited partnership ("Blum GP IV LP") and Saddlepoint Partners GP,
L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Saddlepoint GP") (collectively,
the "Reporting Persons").

This amendment relates to shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share
(the "Common Stock") of Avid Technology, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive office and mailing address of the Issuer
is One Park West, Tewksbury, MA 01876.

The following amendments to the Schedule 13D are hereby made. Unless otherwise
defined herein, all capitalized terms shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Schedule 13D as previously amended.

---------------------------------

There have been no changes to Item 2 since the Schedule 13D Amendment filed on
May 1, 2008.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations
------------------------------------------------------------

There have been no changes to Item 3 since the Schedule 13D Amendment filed on

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer
----------------------------------------------

(a), (b) According to the Issuer's Form DEF 14A filed with the Commission on
April 7, 2008, there were 37,241,822 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding as of March 25, 2008.  Based on such information, after taking
into account the transactions described in Item 5(c) below, the Reporting
Persons report beneficial ownership of the following shares of Common Stock:
(i) 2,257,402 shares of Common Stock held by Blum LP and RCBA Inc. on behalf
of the limited partnerships for which Blum LP serves as the general partner,
or on behalf of an entity for which Blum LP serves as investment advisor,
which represents 6.1% of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (ii)
4,100,000 shares of the Common Stock held by Blum GP III which serves as
general partner of Blum GP III LP which, in turn, serves as the general
partner of Blum Strategic III, which represents 11.0% of the outstanding
shares of the Common Stock; (iii) 744,651 shares of the Common Stock held by
Blum GP IV which serves as general partner of Blum GP IV LP which, in turn,
serves as the general partner of Blum Strategic IV, which represents 2.0% of
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock; (iv) 329,840 shares of the Common
Stock held by Saddlepoint GP on behalf of a partnership for which it serves as
the general partner, which represents 0.9% of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock; and (v) 86,100 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned
by The Nuclear Decommissioning Trust of Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc.
("Dominion Connecticut"), which represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of
the Common Stock and 86,100 shares of the Common Stock that are legally owned
by Virginia Electric and Power Company Qualified Nuclear Decommissioning Trust
("Virginia Electric"), which represents 0.2% of the outstanding shares of the
Common Stock (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Clients"), with respect
to which Blum LP has voting and investment power.  Each Investment Advisory
Client has entered into an investment management agreement with Blum LP, but
neither Investment Advisory Client has any contract, arrangement or
understanding with the other Investment Advisory Client, or any other
Reporting Person, with respect to the acquisition, ownership, disposition or
voting of any shares of the Common Stock.  Each Investment Advisory Client
disclaims membership in a group with any Reporting Person or with the other
Investment Advisory Client, and each disclaims beneficial ownership of any
shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons other than for their own
account.

Voting and investment power concerning the above shares are held solely by
Blum LP, Blum GP III, Blum GP IV and Saddlepoint GP.  The Reporting Persons
therefore may be deemed to be members in a group, in which case the group
would be deemed to have beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 7,604,093
shares of the Common Stock, which is 20.4% of the outstanding Common Stock.
As the sole general partner of Blum LP, RCBA Inc. is deemed the beneficial
owner of the securities over which Blum LP has voting and investment power.
The filing of this Schedule shall not be construed as an admission that any of
the shareholders, directors or executive officers of RCBA Inc. or the managing
members and members of Blum GP III, Blum GP III LP, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP
and Saddlepoint GP, is, for any purpose, the beneficial owner of any of the
securities that are beneficially owned by RCBA Inc., Blum LP, Blum GP III LP,
Blum GP III, Blum GP IV, Blum GP IV LP or Saddlepoint GP.
