Editing Like an Oscar Winner: Why Learn Avid Media Composer?

By Jim Bask 0 Comment March 27, 2018

With a new semester beginning, students at NYFA campuses are starting their first introduction to Avid’s Media Composer system. Hard drives are being formatted, project directories are being created, and folks everywhere are wondering to themselves “What is YCbCr anyway?”

As Post Production instructors, we often get the asked how Media Composer became the software of choice at the New York Film Academy. I can only assume that question is also asked at the many film schools where Media Composer is the required software.

Media Composer — Best of 2017

By Jim Bask 0 Comment December 13, 2017

2017 was a big year for Media Composer. Avid introduced many cool features to help improve the everyday editing experience. Some were big and grabbed a lot of attention (Hello, ScriptSync and 8K Project presets!) and some were smaller, but still very useful. Many of them were requested and voted upon by our Avid Customer Association. (Speaking of which, if you’re not already a member of the ACA, you should check it out. At the very least, come party with us at Avid Connectbefore we kick off NAB 2018!)
