When we last looked at Avid Media Composer back in January 2019, we were pretty impressed (hard not to be to be honest – this software has been around practically for ever, and is regarded as an industry standard).
Although an increasing number of films are cut on Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro or DaVinci Resolve, chances are high that if you’re going to be working in a professional environment, this is what you’ll be sitting in front of day after day.
Media Composer Ultimate is Avid’s top of the line video editing software for Windows and Mac, and it is not for the fainthearted. Although the interface is immediately recognisable to anyone who’s used any other type of video editing software, its customisability will please those who are into creating the work environment that suits them perfectly.
