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

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.

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

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.

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