Avid 3D

Based on industry-leading 3D animation, compositing, and special effects technology from Softimage, Avid 3D is designed for the special needs of video editors. Extruded text and logos, 3D models, powerful particle systems, and dynamic warping effects –created in real time with OpenGL hardware acceleration –are just some of the effects within easy reach.

Models, textures, materials, and shaders can simply be dragged and dropped into 3D scenes, whether created from scratch using Avid 3D’s powerful creation tools or by customizing elements provided in Avid 3D’s supplied libraries.

Avid 3D is optimized for use with Avid Xpress Pro and the Avid Xpress Studio. Shared media and metadata formats allow easy interoperability. Video clips from Avid Xpress Pro open as textures that can be applied directly onto 3D objects or used as backgrounds inside Avid 3D, and Avid 3D’s camera view can be displayed to a client monitor through Avid Mojo hardware.
