Pro Sound Effects Brings Native SFX Panel Integration to Avid Media Composer
By Jennifer P
In this article by Kate Large for Red Shark News, Pro Sound Effects has introduced a native sound effects panel for Avid Media Composer, giving editors direct access to a massive library of over 1.2 million licensed sound effects without leaving the editing timeline. Built using Avid’s Panel SDK, the integration streamlines the post-production workflow by eliminating the need to switch between separate apps or browsers to find and import audio, a common bottleneck for editors working under tight deadlines.
The new panel supports a fully licensed workflow from early rough cuts through final picture lock, ensuring that teams can use professional-grade audio throughout the entire editing process. It also integrates with SoundQ, PSE’s free desktop application, allowing users to browse, search, and organize both the company’s library and their own internal sound effects collections. These assets can be stored locally, on networks, or in cloud environments like Avid Nexis, and are imported directly into Media Composer bins with full metadata preserved.
Additionally, the Pro Sound Effects library features contributions from well-known and award-winning sound designers such as Mark Mangini, Richard King, and Chris Watson, adding further credibility and creative value to the offering. The panel is available now at no additional cost for existing PSE customers, with sound effects accessible either through individual purchases or subscription plans starting at $29 per month per user.
