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.

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!)

How Avid Media Composer Uses a Computer

By Jim Bask 0 Comment November 10, 2017

In the past, acquiring and running software for desktop and laptop computers was a slow, thoughtful process. We would stand in stores (back when they existed) and stare at software boxes (back when they existed). Turning a box around, we’d comb through the specs, making informed decisions based on our intimate knowledge of the computers we owned.
