Avid Technology unveiled the new Media Composer family of editing solutions, which offer a new software-only application for Mac and PC laptops or desktops, and a range of flexible configurations for professionals who require hardware acceleration. In addition, all Media Composer systems in the line offer workflow-intelligent tools that connect directly to Avid Interplay, a nonlinear workflow engine.
Leveraging the Avid Interplay engine, Media Composer users can perform many time-consuming production tasks in the background and monitor changes to all project assets made by team members as the creative process evolves. In addition, users have a window into all shared workgroup content, allowing them to browse through every asset used on a project — including media and non-media files. The new product family includes version 2.5 of Media Composer software, with HD capabilities on Mac OS X (Tiger).
