Avid has been the leader in high-end film and television post-production for the past 20 years. Despite this fact, Avid’s primary competitors (Adobe and Apple) have been stealing customers left and right for the past few years with new innovations in their NLE offerings.

Avid’s Media Composer 7 looks to change all of this and bring the platform into the 21st century, where 4k looks to be the new standard. Check out the product video below: More »
