When top-end companies ask for Avid editors....

[Bouken Boy]

what is the actual Avid program they expect you to use? I'm not up to speed with Avid, mainly using FCP and Adobe CS5.5, and the info I find on it makes it sound very generic, but almost all job vacancies I find ask for an Avid editor. I want to get a copy of whatever they expect you to use and learn it. I pick up editing systems relatively quickly and want to add this string to my bow. Is it similar to FCP and Premiere Pro at all?

They probably mean Avid Media composer.
