Avid Media Composer

Avid Media Composer is professional video editing software for film, television, and news production. It supports macOS and Windows, 4K export, and team collaboration, with desktop and web access listed. ScriptSync AI matches transcripts to audio waveforms, while PhraseFind AI searches spoken dialogue phonetically. Editors can group up to 64 cameras in multicamera timelines. Shared projects support multiple editors through real-time bin locking and centralized shared media on Avid NEXIS or third-party shared storage. Proxy workflows use lightweight media and can reconnect to camera originals for final conforming and delivery. Media Composer connects to MediaCentral for editing against live rundowns and preview feeds, and to Pro Tools for exporting sequences with track metadata and volume automation preserved. Finishing tools include Symphony color tools, ACES and 32-bit float support, and IMF packaging. Third-party extensions add workflows for VFX, dailies, archive, and automation. Media Composer First is free to use forever and is described as suitable for new or casual editors. Supported operating systems include macOS and 64-bit Windows 11 Pro and Enterprise; some features require more than minimum system requirements.
