Avid Media Composer Enhances Interoperability with Pro Tools to Accelerate Workflows for Video and Audio Post Production Teams
10 February 2023 - 2:48AM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today 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.
Export Media Composer Sequences Directly into Pro
ToolsAvid is uniquely 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 ground-breaking 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.
“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,” said David Colantuoni, Vice
President, Product Management Video and Media Solutions, Avid. “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.”
“Avid continues to listen to and collaborate with its customers
to address the biggest challenges in today’s modern post production
community,” said Jonathan Wales, Re-Recording Mixer at Warner Bros.
Studios. “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.”
Produce World-Class Audio within Media Composer
Offering full support for Avid’s completely reimagined MBOX Studio™
audio interface, Media Composer provides editors with a powerful
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 groundbreaking audio features, Avid
continues to deliver significant innovation in the Media Composer
video editing platform, including:
Improved Media Management Avid has improved
Media Composer’s groundbreaking media management capabilities by
simplifying the media relink workflow and improving performance
around the ability to find paths to previously linked files. Users
can locate all content within the relink window to easily
re-establish broken paths and avoid losing time searching for a
file’s previous locations.
Simplified UI for New UsersMedia Composer now
includes a new project creation setting that creates the project
format from the editor’s media with one click. The enhanced UI also
generates default bins and offers suggestions to guide a new user
through project set-up, enabling new users, students and editing
teams alike to easily initiate the editing process.
Remote Editing and Proxy Workflow
CapabilitiesContinuing to enable the industry’s sharp rise
in remote collaboration, Avid has enhanced the remote editing
experience and seamless integration of the Media Composer |
Enterprise editing tool and the Avid NEXIS® | EDGE solution. This
integration enables editing teams to better collaborate on projects
while working remotely in post production environments. Remote
production teams using Media Composer can collaborate more
efficiently by using Avid NEXIS | EDGE to build innovative proxy
workflows. This enables editors to seamlessly flip between
high-resolution and proxy content from a single click and with no
relinking required, saving production teams time and reducing
complexity.
Content Review Capabilities for EditorsMedia
Composer’s new Multiplex IO feature enhances the “over the
shoulder” experience by giving users the ability to have up to 10
active I/O plug-ins simultaneously. This allows output from Media
Composer to multiple streaming platforms and devices through SRT
(Secure Reliable Transport), NDI and any connected and supported
I/O hardware, enabling local monitoring while streaming to remote
viewers. This integration enables editing teams to better
collaborate on projects while working remotely in post production
environments.
