Access Media Composer in the cloud
Got a team of editors and looking for the fastest and easiest way to deploy software? Media Composer is now available as a “virtual” license, enabling teams to access and edit projects remotely from any location in their facility using a high-speed connection. Without requiring Media Composer to be installed on their computer or local client.
Get beautiful performance
Connect every camera and video device in your studio and gain the media intelligence you need to create and deliver better content faster. Meet the new Avid Artist | DNxIQ interface—now available bundled with Media Composer and standalone.

Work faster and easier
Whether you’re a Media Composer veteran, coming back to Avid, or new to video editing, working with Media Composer is now simpler, more productive, and fun. Navigate, find, preview, and import media more easily with the new Source Browser. And edit more intuitively with the streamlined interface with enhanced visual feedback.
Create better sounding productions
With several new audio features just added—including audio dupe detection, audio ducking, groups, and nested AudioSuite clip effects—it’s faster and easier than ever to make your projects sound as epic as they look.


Edit high-res and HD media natively
From the biggest movies to small indie films, more and more productions today are shooting in 4K and beyond. With Media Composer, you can acquire, edit, and deliver 2K to Ultra HD to 8K and other high-resolution content with great speed and ease. And get native support for such cutting-edge codecs as Panasonic AVC-LongG, Sony XAVC-I, XAVC-L, and more.
Edit HDR projects
What lurks in the shadows and hides in bright light? A great amount of image detail that often never finds an audience. Now you can expose every detail and achieve more stunning, dramatic imagery with new support for high dynamic range (HDR) workflows.


Work in any resolution and aspect ratio
Facing a mixed bag of footage from a 4K camera, an iPhone, and an old SD archive? No problem. Now you can work with practically any media in the same project—in any resolution—without the need for additional gear. Plus, you can now reframe high-res images at the highest quality possible and set project-level mask margins.
