Avid Media Composer Software
Avid introduces the world's most powerful and refined film and video editing software as an affordable hardware independent solution for Mac and Windows systems with new features such as Motion tracking and Stabilization and full-screen video output over DVI.
Edit faster with higher-quality results
Intuitive, integrated media management. Faster trim tools. One-step colour correction. Real-time animated alpha channels. 16-bit AVX effects processing. The industry's most accurate and reliable film editing workflow.
Mix and edit multiple formats in real time
Combine HD, SD, DV, and film formats and resolutions, as well as Avid AVR and Meridien JFIF media, in the same timeline - without rendering, transcoding, or re-digitizing. Edit native DVCPRO HD and HDV media. And take advantage of real-time, mixed-format HD, SD, and DV multi-cam editing.
Handle film and video sources with confidence
The industry's most powerful and precise 24p technology lets you handle film and video projects with equal ease and efficiency. Features such as real-time pull-down of 24p media directly over IEEE-1394 (FireWire) eliminate time-consuming conversions and offers greater flexibility to output to video or film.
Be more productive - have more time to create
The unified Avid editing environment and seamless conform between Avid editing and finishing systems eliminates the need to re-create or re-build creative editorial work in the online suite. Support for Avid Unity media networks and Avid Interplay nonlinear workflows adds background media management and true facility-wide collaboration.
