Avid Media Composer Delivers Over-The-Shoulder Collaboration to Film and Broadcast Production Workflows
April 21 2022 - 2:57PM
Avid® (Nasdaq: AVID) today launched the latest version of Media
Composer® video editing software with new features that
dramatically enhance the speed and productivity of creative teams
and individuals. These include an “over-the-shoulder” remote
collaboration experience available natively in Media Composer |
Ultimate™ and Media Composer | Enterprise™ editions. The
groundbreaking integration of the SRT (Secure Reliable Transport)
protocol empowers editors to stream their high-resolution video and
audio sequences anywhere at any time directly to individual or
multiple end-points simultaneously—just like viewing editors’ work
in-person, over their shoulder—whether Media Composer is on
premises or in the cloud.
With secure streaming to any device, workflows with Media
Composer can now incorporate a “third monitor” experience that
accelerates collaborative interaction such as content review and
approval by producers and clients, facilitating real-time feedback
and bringing projects to conclusion faster.
Although SRT ensures secure streaming of content with end-to-end
128/256-bit AES encryption, users additionally can restrict client
access to Media Composer output. Teams can connect to a Haivision
Gateway on premises or in the cloud to enable stream replication
and firewall traversal so that devices behind a firewall can reach
streams without breaching network security.
“Our users will achieve big gains in team productivity and
individual performance with this new release of Media Composer,”
said Michael Krulik, Video Product Evangelist, Avid. “With the
ability to stream video and audio from Media Composer using the SRT
protocol, true over-the-shoulder experiences for people working
anywhere are finally here.”
Several additional productivity-boosting features for Media
Composer users have been introduced recently including:
Role-Based—The only non-linear editor with a
completely customizable toolset that enables creative teams to
build and distribute role-specific tools that follow the user, not
the machine, including configuring user interfaces, media creation
settings, project settings, workspaces, toolbars, timeline views,
bin views, and more with Media Composer | Enterprise.
Customizable—User interface enhancements allow
for a customized workspace so a user can maximize editing
efficiency including docking the Tool Palette; organizing bin
content quickly; and moving clips up in the timeline.
Expansive—A single sequence can now include as
many as 99 video tracks and 99 audio tracks—dramatically expanding
a user’s creative freedom, ability to create more VFX-heavy
sequences, and build bigger audio mixes.
Efficient—Support for Media Composer |
Distributed Processing™ which off-loads processor-intensive media
creation workflow tasks such as renders, mix-downs and exports, and
frees up users’ edit workstations—removing downtime from the
production process for faster project turnaround.
What is SRT?SRT is an open source video
transport protocol and technology stack developed by Avid’s partner
Haivision. Supporting SRT ensures choice and flexibility in
establishing over-the-shoulder workflows that can be based on
software, or a mix of hardware and software. Avid is one
of four advisory members of the SRT Alliance.
