In the last 12 months, the 360° video movement has grown rapidly. New cameras, headsets, delivery systems and content seem to be emerging daily.
In this article, we’ll look at how Media Composer helps editors collaborate together to tackle big projects. Media Composer is built for team collaboration.
As many of you know I have been a big fan of ScriptSync since it was first developed almost 20 years ago. Originally designed for Hollywood scripts, editors of every genre soon adopted the technology; with the addition of PhraseFind, the game of editing changed forever. There is no question that anyone who has used these two features can cut their overall edit time down by weeks. Tell that to the producer who questions the budget when adding these features to your Media Composer.
The process of switching from one NLE to another is not often an easy one. All that muscle memory needs to be re-learned, the tool set is different and in some cases even the conceptual paradigm on which the software operates!
Media Composer has hit some huge milestones in the last 1-2 years. The additions of both larger than HD projects, as well as custom project sizes was big, but this update is just as big, if not bigger.
