If you’re a creative editor, you want an editing tool that not only makes storytelling simple, but helps you track your project, organize your media, and pull you through the trouble spots. That’s why so many professionals trust their best ideas to Avid Media Composer. Unsurpassed creative tools, rock-solid media management, and the highest quality effects and output make Media Composer the most powerful editing solution available.
Editing is about speed, flexibility, and “feel.” Refined editing tools, integrated media management, and seamless conform help you stay relaxed and focused on telling the best story. And Avid’s Open Timeline lets you juggle formats and ideas– offering real-time editing and playback of multiple SD and HD resolutions.
Native integration of P2, XDCAM-HD, and HDV formats lets you focus on editing, not getting data into and out of the system. The Avid DNxHD36 codec provides the perfect solution for HD offline. Need to go out to DVD, Blu-ray, or the Web? Sorensen Squeeze and Avid DVD bySonic (PC only) are included for multi-format output.
SpectraMatte Keyer: Pulling a key with 8-bit formats such as DVCPRO HD can be tricky. Create higher-quality keys and play them back in real time with 16-bit SpectraGraph technology. An interactive environment eliminates guesswork and helps editors to achieve a perfect key.
Fluidmotion: Create incredibly smooth slow-motion effects and fit-to-fill video using patented pixel morphing technology. Control speed and position using intuitive curve-based keyframing. Apply the look of 24 fps progressive frame rates to 30 fps interlaced sources with the exclusive FluidFilm feature.
Motion Tracking and Stabilization from Steadyglide: Re-shoots and tedious compositing work are expensive. Even worse is having to throw away valuable footage that may have helped tell the story. Now you can steady footage that may have been unusable due to shaky camera work, resulting in big savings in both time and money.
Open Timeline: Media Composer systems offer all the support you need to mix multiple formats and resolutions in the same timeline—in real time, so you can keep the creativity flowing. Combine HD SD DV and film formats and resolutions, as well as Avid AVR and Meridien JFIF media without rendering, transcoding, or re-digitizing. Edit native DVCPRO HD and HDV media. And take advantage of real-time, mixed-format multicam editing.
