Avid Enhances Media Composer Subscription Offering to Accelerate Content Editing and Production
August 26 2021 - 10:15AM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today announced a new version of Avid Media
Composer | Distributed Processing that significantly speeds up
content production by using adjacent computing resources to
help creative teams keep up with the increasing
demand for new content. Media Composer | Distributed Processing
enables editors to focus more on their craft by
offloading processor-intensive media creation workflow tasks
to any available local computers, freeing up their
Media Composer edit workstations while removing wasteful downtime
from the production process for faster project turnaround. Media
Composer | Distributed Processing is included with Media Composer |
Enterprise software subscriptions.
Media Composer | Distributed Processing enables users to:
Keep working—not waiting — Keeps editors in the
creative zone, so they can continue working in Media Composer and
have more time to craft their stories as jobs get completed in the
background. They can offload media encoding tasks with support for
a variety of camera, video, and audio file formats and codecs.
Accelerate the entire workflow — Handles a
media workflow’s most processor-intensive tasks—including
transcode, consolidate, render, mixdown, and export—in a fraction
of the time by coordinating dispersed processing resources.
Multiple complex jobs can be set up to run in the background at any
time—even overnight.
Monitor systems more easily — Users can track,
modify, monitor, prioritize, and filter jobs remotely through the
web-based dashboard and new coordinator tools that give teams
insight and access to distributed computer networks.
Turn around content faster — With parallel
processing, jobs can be completed faster to meet tight deadlines
and the increasing need for multiple versions for streaming
platforms. Delivers higher return-on-investment and cost savings to
post-production teams by enabling them to complete projects faster
with fewer assets.
Get the most out of existing resources —
Comprehensive administrative tools to create logical worker groups,
monitor queues, and prioritize jobs. Optimizes available resources
by turning Media Composer Mac or PC workstations into distributed
processing “workers” when they’re not in use for editing.
“Film and TV production teams all over the world are being
tasked with creating more content faster than ever before to meet
audience demand, and we're excited to introduce processing
capabilities that enable Media Composer users to overcome this
challenge,” said Dave Colantuoni, Vice President of Product
Management at Avid. “New features in Media Composer | Distributed
Processing give users everything they need to accelerate workflows
by reducing delays that result from running processor-intensive
tasks, helping teams to work smarter, not harder.”
