New features and workflows
Full 64-bit power
Fast gets even faster with native 64-bit operation, so even when you layer together
the most complex effects, things will still feel snappy. Experience smoother playback,
faster rendering performance, and better handling with large bins - and say goodbye
to the old memory limitations of the 32-bit operating systems.
Better performance - and 3D - with Avid hardware
For the fastest capture/edit/monitor/output workflows, pair Media Composer with
a Nitris DX or Mojo DX video interface and experience hardware-accelerated power
that’s second to none. You can now even customize Nitris DX with up to two Avid
DNxHD or AVC-Intra chips to fully support stereoscopic 3D and HD RGB 4:4:4 workflows.
Open for business
Media Composer is now fully open thanks to Avid Open I/O, so you can work with your
choice of Avid audio and video interfaces or third-party video interfaces, including
those from AJA, Blackmagic Design, Bluefish444, Matrox, and MOTU. Manufacturers
can simply create plug-ins using Avid Open I/O to have their hardware work with
Media Composer, meaning you’ll have even more choices to come.
Sleek new look and Avid Marketplace
Modern, smart, and sexy. Media Composer has a whole new look, but its familiar editing
workflow stays the same. Work faster through the tabbed interface (no more window
clutter!). Customize window configurations with Workspaces. Browse the Avid Marketplace
for stock footage, video and audio plug-ins, software and hardware options, training
materials, and more - right from within the app. You can even access user guides
and other documentation without having to scour our website.
Work with 3D
Edit stereoscopic 3D material as quickly and easily as you do with standard 2D footage,
with a full set of new features and workflows. Capture, edit, and manage the complete
3D end-to-end workflow. Mix and match 2D and stereoscopic 3D clips on the same track.
Plus, work with full frame and frame-compatible sources, full-fledged editing tools,
video effects, and more.
Go hands-on with Artist Color
Accelerate your color correcting and grading with Artist Color. With its highly
responsive feel, you can keep your eyes on the picture instead of the interface
while you make adjustments. And since you can tweak multiple parameters at once,
you dramatically gain more speed and efficiency to complete time-consuming tasks
quickly.
Mix in surround sound
You want your audio to sound as spectacular as your video looks. Now you can record,
edit, and mix studio-quality audio in up to 7.1 surround - right in Media Composer.
Not only that, you can share mixes with Pro Tools editors (using AAF), and even
record and monitor audio using a host of Avid audio interfaces.
