Avid Media Composer enhances interoperability with pro tools to accelerate workflows for video and audio post-production teams.
Avid has announced the latest version of Media Composer with several new features that significantly speed up the post-production process between editorial and audio post teams. These features deliver the first step towards gaining significant production efficiency by bringing video and audio post teams and workflows closer together.
Avid is positioned to streamline the process of exporting complex sequences with video, audio and metadata down to a single step, combining everything in one export.PTX file that can be opened directly in Pro Tools. This new capability enables teams to complete projects faster and eliminate costly, time-consuming mistakes, while accelerating content creation and delivery for post-production workflows. This is the first step in delivering collaborative workflows between Media Composer and Pro Tools, which was identified as a critical need during customer workshops and will allow Avid to introduce a differentiated set of capabilities not available in the market today.
David Colantuoni, Vice President, Product Management Video and Media Solutions, Avid, said: “Media Composer interoperability with Pro Tools was accelerated by collaborating with the Avid Community Association to deliver the workflow enabler our industry has been asking for to accelerate production of high-quality content. The ability to easily export files into Pro Tools, combined with the expanded ‘remote editorial’ experience in Media Composer, enables production teams to more easily complete projects on time and on budget.”
Jonathan Wales, Re-Recording Mixer at Warner Bros. Studios, added: “Avid continues to listen to and collaborate with its customers to address the biggest challenges in today’s modern post-production community. Media Composer interoperability with Pro Tools bridges video and audio post-production teams, creating new efficiency by streamlining picture and sound workflows that accelerate content creation.”
Offering full support for Avid’s completely reimagined MBOX Studio audio interface, Media Composer provides editors with a solution for recording, punch-ins and multichannel monitoring of sequences in up to 7.1 surround sound. Access to the exceptional preamps and audio converters in MBOX Studio also enables users to capture every sonic nuance of every performance with low-latency monitoring.
In addition to these audio features, Avid continues to deliver significant innovation in the Media Composer video editing platform, including improved media management, simplified UI for new users, remote editing and proxy workflow capabilities, and content review capabilities for editors.
