Before we get started, let’s all agree on some things. First, editing tools do not cut great stories all by themselves—editors do. Second, great editors can be found in a lot of places outside of Hollywood. Third, editors should never think they will only need to learn one tool to build a long, successful career.
Industrial Media and its Emmy®-winning television production company, The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), are adding a new production hub in New York City. It is the first step in the company’s goal of collaborating remotely with directors, producers, and editors throughout the country.
Once upon a time, choosing the right Avid licence was easy. There was one version of Media Composer. You ran it on the most powerful workstation you had, and worked wherever that workstation was. Now, things are slightly more complicated. Remote, virtualised and cloud options have brought fantastic functionality to Avid workflows, but left swathes of users unsure as to whether they’re using the right licence, and even if they have access to the full version of Media Composer. So we asked our experts: what’s the difference between the different Media Composer models?
Avid Media Composer 2019 will be the most comprehensive redesign for the video editing software in 15 years.

The day has come for Media Composer editors. As the line went in Star Wars …”It will be a day long remembered”.

Well, this “review” is more going to look at answering that question as opposed to getting in and talking about new features. Don’t get me wrong, we’ll discuss (and show you via tutorials), some of the new features in MC2019, but more look at if this is something that will get editors to switch to, or switch back to, with their upcoming projects.
