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.

McAuliffe highlights key changes that bring Titler+ in line with other popular applications like Adobe Premiere and DaVinci Resolve. Unlike the legacy tools, Titler+ generates titles dynamically rather than creating physical media clips, requiring a shift in workflow for Avid editors. While this change brings advantages, such as cleaner scaling and consistent vector-based text, it also introduces drawbacks, such as the inability to add external effects like those from Continuum or Sapphire directly to titles. The article emphasizes the importance of adapting to this new system and provides practical advice for working effectively with Titler+.

The update includes a redesigned interface, improved functionality, and tools like the Anchor Point, which offers greater flexibility for text placement and animation. However, McAuliffe notes inconsistencies, such as how the Anchor Point behaves differently when adjusted dynamically versus through the Effect Editor. Despite these quirks, features like better text scaling and alignment with Media Composer’s coordinate system make Titler+ a more robust tool for title creation.

McAuliffe also examines the Foreground parameter, a new feature that simplifies animating multiple titles simultaneously. This tool enables editors to adjust opacity, crop titles, and apply uniform effects across all titles in a frame, though it lacks certain refinements like feathering for crop transitions. Additionally, the update introduces improved font support, streamlined rolls and crawls, and better cross-platform compatibility, further enhancing the overall user experience.

In conclusion, McAuliffe acknowledges Avid’s missteps with the initial release of Titler+ but asserts that the latest updates have significantly improved the tool. While not perfect, Titler+ now offers a compelling option for Media Composer users, especially those willing to adapt their workflows to leverage its modern features. McAuliffe encourages editors to set aside their past frustrations and embrace the new capabilities of Titler+.
