  With the release of Avid Media Composer 3.5 Avid has once again delivered the most stable, efficient and powerful video editing solution in the world. Regardless of your platform (PC or Mac), Media Composer taps into all of your computers power, taking advantage of multiple CPU cores, the latest GPU technology to deliver unprecedented performance, and expansive memory when running Vista 64 bit OS.

No other NLE supports as wide range of HD formats and settings as Media Composer including Canon 24f HDV, Sony progressive HDV and tapeless workflows like P2, XD Cam and Red.

Patented SteadyGlide™ technology to remove image shakiness while preserving desirable camera motion like pans and tilts.

Real-time 16-bit SpectraMatte™ keying featuring SpectraGraph™ Viewer Chroma keying is a fundamental element in compositing and everybody needs it.

Avid Media Composer 3.5 now features new Keyframable and animate-able color correction tools for you to adjust your color over the duration of each clip for even more control.

Editing done right


Editing interface
Edit faster with the most efficient, accurate, and flexible editing interface available. Work the way you want with the mouse, screen buttons or keyboard shortcuts, with full customization of screen and keyboard layouts to speed things up further.

Trimming tools
Avid's powerful trimming tools set the standard for speed and flexibility. Trim transitions with the mouse, on-the-fly, or nudge frame-by-frame. "Slip" and "slide" clips quickly with a comprehensive two, four or six-frame display.

Script-based editing
Take the work out of editing of scripted or transcript based productions. With ScriptSync, dailies are phonetically synced to the script automatically, so lining up dailies to the script takes minutes, not hours.

Open Timeline
Edit multiple SD and HD formats in real time, in the same timeline, without rendering or transcoding. Mix SD and HD, online and offline. Play any mix of resolutions in real time.

Media management
Avid offers the most reliable and accurate media management available. Don't worry about losing media or render files; the software tracks them all. It even allows sequences to relink to multiple resolutions.

Database management
Create custom metadata fields to track your material the way you want. Use multi-level sift and sort to find information that goes far beyond the reach of OS-level searches.

Seamless integration into any workflow

Total Conform
Streamline your offline/online workflow with the ability to share projects and media between Media Composer and Symphony systems. Every media clip, edit, and effect is directly available, so you can start the online without delay.

Avid Media Access (AMA)
Avid Media Access provides full native end to end workflow for XDCAM HD and full native support including metadata integration and card/disc support for P2 and XDCAM-HD/EX formats.

File-based workflows
Save time and maintain quality using "tapeless" file-based workflows. Access P2 and XDCAM files directly from disc or card, with metadata. Edit the media in its native format and play out or write back directly to disk or card.

Native HD codec support
Start editing faster with native support for a wide range of HD codecs, including HDV, XDCAM-HD, XDCAM-EX, DVCPRO HD and AVC-I , in progressive 720p, 1080p and interlaced formats. No need to transcode, even when mixing codecs.

Film editing tools
The award-winning Avid Film Composer toolset offers the industry's most powerful and accurate film workflow. Save time with automatic syncing of audio and video and seamless tracking of timecode, KeyKode, and other metadata.

Timecode and subtitling creation
Speed up any online or audio post workflow by creating an on-screen timecode display in real time. Use the SubCap tool to deliver open-caption subtitling deliverables, with import and export of EBU-N19 formats.

Multimedia export and DVD creation
Use the integrated tools to create a large variety of high-quality output formats for Web or electronic delivery. On Windows-based systems, integrated DVD authoring tools let you create full-featured DVDs or fast-turnaround approval DVDs.

Timestamp Export for BWF
Insert the sequence timecode based on project type when exporting the timeline audio tracks as BWF (Broadcast WAV). Provides fast and easy sync reference for downstream process that do not support OMF or AAF such as slave playback devices.

Engineered for collaboration

Sharing media, projects, and ideas
Seamless integration with Avid Unity media networks means true collaboration at any scale. Multiple editing systems can play the same file, and even capture to the same volume, simultaneously.

Performance and reliability
Engineered for deadline-driven, real-time collaboration, Avid Unity media networks combine high-performance hardware and software in a family of integrated, turnkey solutions, all backed and supported by a single, trusted source.

Shared projects and bins
Because media bins are not linked to specific projects or users, editors working in an Avid Unity environment can open bins from other projects, without having to copy media. And they can give other editors access to their bins, even while they are in use.

User settings
Take all your user settings with you when you move from one Avid system to another, even from an offline to an online or finishing system. All shortcuts, keyboard and screen customization are there for you to use, so you will be up and running in no time.

Interplay support
Bring collaboration to the next level with support for the Avid Interplay nonlinear workflow engine. Add sophisticated multi-contributor asset management, multi-resolution workflows, rules based transcoding, and other tools for facility-wide collaboration.
Get the look, effects, and quality you envision

Color Correction
Save time and maintain quality with a fully integrated 10-bit color correction toolset. Only Avid offers NaturalMatch to quickly and accurately match shots. Or use the large palette of easy-to-use manual tools for corrective or creative adjustments.

FluidMotion
Create incredibly smooth slow-motion effects and "fit-to-fill" video using Avid's patented pixel morphing technology. Apply the look of progressive film to interlaced video material with the exclusive FluidFilm feature.

SpectraMatte
Create a high-quality key, even with compressed HD codec material. Eliminate guesswork and get the perfect key using the interactive interface. Preview your keys in real time and with online quality with 16-bit SpectraGraph technology.

Fluid Stabilizer
Stabilize shots with the most complex camera movements. Fluid Stabilizer works in conjunction with SteadyGlide and Stabilize to filter out error-inducing object motion from the motion analysis, resulting in extremely precise image stabilization

Effect plug-ins
Increase your effect library using third-party plug-ins, such as the bundled Boris Continuum Complete and Avid FX. Save time using the real-time playback capabilities of selected AVX2 effects. AVX plug-ins are fully integrated into the Avid user interface using the Avid AVX2 standard.

Effect performance
Get the best real-time multi-layer effect performance using Avid's advanced effect acceleration.

Avid DNxHD support
Edit HD material in real time on your software system using Avid DNxHD encoding, including HD offline using Avid DNxHD36 media. The high-efficiency Avid DNxHD codec is designed to maintain image quality during multi-generation editing.
