Introduction

Avid Media Composer is the most powerful video editing platform in the world and it's still being used by major production facilities all over the globe. From film studios to television networks, Avid Media Composer is one of the best tools for creating high-quality content because it's so versatile. It supports virtually every type of file imaginable and allows you to work with multiple streams of media at once.

Let's look at some reasons why Avid Media Composer is still considered the best NLE on earth:

The Media Composer system is the best video editing platform because it's so versatile and allows you to work with so many types of files and formats.

Avid Media Composer is the most versatile NLE. This means you can use it to edit anything, from music videos to feature films, documentaries and corporate videos. Because of this flexibility allows you to work with virtually any file type and format in your projects:

• Avid supports all professional formats including Apple ProRes, DNxHD/HR, H265/HEVC (HVEC), JPEG2000, MXF OP-Atom, OpenEXR (RED), TIFF RGB etc.

• Avid also supports a wide range of file formats (including audio). You can import footage from hard drives or cameras directly into your project through a USB cable or SD card reader – no transcoding required!

Working in Media Composer is very fast and smooth. Your projects can be as big as you like, with as many tracks, effects and FX as you need, and the system keeps moving along without skipping a beat.

The reason that Avid Media Composer is still the best NLE on the market is because it's fast, solid as a rock and can handle massive amounts of media. Media Composer has been around for over 25 years and has been used to create many famous movies, TV shows and commercials.

Avid’s speed was tested by Iron Mountain Digital in 2016 when they used Avid's flagship software to cut an hour-long feature film in just three days (the equivalent of 18 minutes per day). The results were impressive:

• 120 video tracks

• 20 audio tracks (music)

• One hundred thousand clips

Media Composer's native file support is best in class. It supports all professional formats such as DNxHD, Baselight-Edition, DPX, and more.

Media Composer's native file support is best in class. It supports all professional formats such as DNxHD, Baselight-Edition, DPX, and more. Native support means that you can directly import these formats without any loss of quality or performance. This is a huge advantage when working with large files with multiple layers of effects or color correction adjustments that would normally slow down other software programs.

Natively supported media formats include:

• ProRes (HQ/Proxy)

• JPEG2000

• MXF (with embedded metadata)

With Media Composer there is no limit to the number of projects that you can have open at once.

The Avid Media Composer workflow is about managing your projects, sequences, and bins. There is no limit to the number of projects that you can have open at once. This means that if you are managing a large project with multiple people working on it, there won't be any problems with opening multiple windows.

The same applies to sequences; you can have as many open as needed at any given time. When working in the editing room I typically keep my main sequence open while having secondary sequences open for assets (such as B roll) or stills that I need to reference while editing. This allows me to work efficiently without having to switch back and forth between windows too frequently or risk losing my train of thought when switching between tasks quickly becomes necessary during production crunch times when deadlines are looming overhead like an angry cloud ready to unleash its fury upon our heads!

The Media Composer system gives you real-time playout from a variety of sources including tape decks and archive systems as well as fling from sources like ISIS shared media storage.

Interplay is a cloud-based collaboration tool that allows you to share sequences, bins, and footage with other editors working on the same project or in different projects. It's fully integrated into Media Composer and offers several ways to get started: you can create a new shared scratch folder from within the Media Composer interface; import an existing shared scratch folder into an active project; publish one or more bins as separate files; share bin contents via email or FTP; and export an XML file of all bin contents in your current project (or just selected bins) so they're available for importing later into another shared Interplay session.*

For over 25 years Avid has been working closely with Hollywood movie studios, TV producers, documentary filmmakers, advertising agencies and more to help them create their projects faster and more efficiently than ever before.
