The recent launch of Media Composer 8.7 is the culmination of a number of exciting Media Composer releases in 2016. Throughout this year a plethora of new features were introduced that accelerate creative storytelling, many of which were developed and prioritized as a result of a poll of ACA members held in 2015. The ACA has played a tremendous role in Avid’s recent successful product launches and will continue to do so even more in 2017, with a more formal and comprehensive vote that is currently in progress and open to all to participate in.Avid Media Composer
