Avid Redefines Video Editing with Public Launch of Avid | Edit On Demand Cloud Subscription Service
March 08 2021 - 9:00AM
Video content creation teams in film, video and broadcast post now
have the power to rapidly turn on secure virtual post production
environments in the cloud with the public release of the
new Avid | Edit On Demand subscription
service from Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID). Shaped by
successful production deployments during the Early Access
Program with more than 60 production companies, post houses and
broadcasters participating, Edit On Demand puts Avid Media
Composer® editing software and Avid NEXIS® cloud storage into
the hands of teams to collaborate from anywhere.
Avid | Edit On Demand delivers an optimized user experience that
is virtually indistinguishable from on-premises editing. Post
production teams can now spin up virtualized Media Composer systems
with Avid NEXIS cloud workspaces in a matter of hours not days,
access their workflows from anywhere, and shut them down quickly
when projects are complete. Avid customers simply log on to their
my.avid.com account to configure an Edit On Demand subscription
that meets their unique needs and start working on the same day.
Editors can use their laptop (Windows or Mac) or mobile device to
connect to a fully configured, virtualized Media Composer system
and an Avid NEXIS workspace in the cloud.
“The operational disruption caused by the pandemic during the
past year has accelerated interest in new ways of working,
including cloud-based workflows. What’s so exciting about Edit On
Demand is that it delivers the editing experience and workflow our
customers have come to expect on premises, even though it’s hosted
entirely in the cloud,” said Tim Claman, SVP & GM of Video,
Post & Storage Solutions, Avid. “We partnered closely with our
customers during the development of Edit On Demand to ensure that
it’s quick and easy to configure and spin up, upload your sources,
and enjoy Avid’s proven collaborative editing workflow from
anywhere in the world – all in a matter of hours.”
“Edit On Demand had the responsiveness, power and flexibility to
allow our teams to edit from any location,” said Ken Burnett,
Principal Technologist at Gorilla TV. “It worked so well our teams
didn’t even know the Avid NEXIS storage was in the cloud. They
thought they were remote accessing into our systems on
premises.”
Chris Bové, Senior Editor of PBS Documentaries said, “As far as
the Avid Edit On Demand interface goes, it’s almost
identical to working on premises. Users can barely see the
difference between their local Media Composer client or one running
virtually. It’s that good.”
Available as a straightforward subscription without overage fees
or hidden costs, Avid | Edit On Demand can be configured to meet
the specific needs of each production. Customers can start with a
small configuration, and then scale up to dozens of editing seats
and hundreds of terabytes of storage. Each Edit On Demand
subscription includes everything teams need to virtualize
their workflows from end to end, including Teradici’s PCoIP®
secure remote desktop solution, Cloud Access
Software; FileCatalyst for fast and reliable
transfers of large media files; and Avid Media Composer
editing seats and Avid NEXIS Cloud storage hosted securely on
Microsoft Azure, Avid’s strategic cloud choice.
