Item 1.	Security and Issuer

**This Amendment No. 1 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 75 Network Drive, Burlington, MA 01803.

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (''Amendment No. 1'') is being filed to
amend the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on December 2, 2015 (the ''Original
13D''). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1
modifies the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety.

As a result of the recent management actions disclosed herein, this Amendment
No. 1 constitutes an exit filing and the Reporting Person shall continue it's
reporting obligation by filing an updated 13G/A.

Item 2.	Identity & Background

a)	This statement on Schedule 13D is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-1
	under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, by
	Cove Street Capital, LLC (CSC).

b)	The address of the principal office of Cove Street Capital, LLC is:
	2101 E El Segundo Boulevard, Suite 302, El Segundo, CA 90245

c)	The principal business of CSC is as an Investment Adviser.

d)	CSC, nor any of its members has, during the last five years, been
	convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
	or similar misdemeanors).

e)	CSC, nor any of its members was, during the last five years, a party to
	a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent
	jurisdiction and, as a result of such proceeding, was or is subject to
	a judgment, decree or final order (1) enjoining future violations of, or
	prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities
	laws, or (2) finding any violation with respect to such laws.

f)	Cove Street Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

Item 3.	Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

CSC in its capacity as an Investment Adviser will purchase on behalf of its
clients. No monies are borrowed for such an acquisition.

Item 4.	Purpose of Transaction

The Securities reported in this filing have been purchased and held for
investment purposes on behalf of client accounts in which CSC has discretionary
investment and voting power. After extensive private conversations with the
Board of Directors, we are presently satisfied with the addition of new Board
member Peter Westley of Blum Capital Partners and the resignation of legacy
Board member George Billings. This the correct first step forward in the
improvement of corporate governance and capital allocation at Avid Technology
to match the similar progress in the underlying transformation of the
Avid business model.


Item 5.	Interest in Securities of the Issuer

a) & b)	CSC has discretionary investment and voting power on 2,165,415 shares of
	Common Stock which constitutes approximately 5.5% of 39,504,028 the shares
	outstanding.

	shares of Common Stock in the last 60 days.
