Avid Media Composer was arguably the first software-based non-linear video editing platform introduced. It took off in the 90s and held an edge over the competition due to its focus on making collaboration the key focus- with on-prem shared storage and a host of helpful tools like file and project locking and script-sync, to name a few. And while the competition has slowly caught up over the past 30 years- Media Composer continues to be the leading tool for editors and the preferred workflow for most major reality and episode television. As well as Feature films.

In this episode of Broadcas2Post, we aim to help your team make the most informed decision about building or upgrading a media composer post production workflow. We’ll cover updates on the license options available for media composer- and how they’ve changed. We’ll also give examples of the typical “tech workflow” we’re seeing people implement and why. Lastly, we’ll leave you with a few key considerations if you want to upgrade Media Composer next year.
Before we get into features, I want to quickly define the flavors of Media Composer that people can purchase.
Avid Media Composer
The basic Avid Media Composer subscription comes in 1-month or 1-year subscriptions. You can work in Any Frame size, HDR, ACES, and stereoscopic 3D media, and will receive all the new releases and standard support. An important note here – This version of Media Composer will work with NEXIS storage but does NOT SUPPORT bin locking or permissions management with shared projects for multi-user workflows.
Avid Media Composer | Ultimate
The Avid Media Composer | Ultimate subscription includes the same specs as the standard subscription but also adds ScriptSync, Phrasefind, Symphony for color correction, NewsCutter for the news folks. You’ll have access to all previous versions of Media Composer- so you can change your license to sync with whatever version the editing project requires that your hardware can support.
Avid Media Composer | Enterprise
Enterprise is a customized version of the Media Composer experience. With the ability to create custom interfaces for different roles within a team. And gives you overall control of all Media Composer licenses from a management level.
Avid Edit-On-Demand
Avid also released Avid Edit-On-Demand, which is Avid’s answer to Cloud-based remote post production needs. A virtual Avid NEXIS with all your media, and using virtual seats of Avid Media Composer | Ultimate Hosted in Microsoft Azure to let you collaborate- work from almost anywhere.
Until recently, it financially made sense to hold onto that Media Composer (Standard) Perpetual license and keep renewing the support. Keep paying the yearly support renewal, hold on to legacy versions of Media Composer, and get connectivity to NEXIS. However, recently the cost of Perpetual Support Renewal has gone up! Enough that the cost of owning a Standard Perpetual license over five years is now more expensive than having a Media Composer Ultimate subscription- which gives you access to Scriptsync and a host of premium features. The value of a standard Perpetual license is diminishing, while the value of a standard Media Composer subscription is increasing.
What can you do when you have a show, but graphics cards, shared storage, and network switches are all on backorder? It’s a tough spot to be in!
This is exactly the time when Avid Edit on Demand comes into play. Edit On Demand is Avid NEXIS, and Avid Media Composer running in the cloud on Microsoft Azure. An EOD solution can be cost-effective, as you only pay for your use.
Hypothetically, let's imagine you don’t need 40 terabytes and 15 systems for your first month of production. You pay for what you need only when you need it- storage, edit workstation, and licenses.
Keep in mind that this is all in the cloud. If you need to sync your EOD environment to an on-prem Avid NEXIS storage environment, there is a path to do with a storageDNA Fabric product.
In this episode of the Broadcast2Post podcast, Avid Technology product specialists, and the Key Code Media team look deeper into how Avid Media Composer can transform your team’s post-production workflow: including ingest, editing, delivery, archiving, and more. Also, if you need to edit but cannot get the equipment, we will investigate the options available.
Award-winning film producer Peter Phok will discuss how Avid Edit On Demand helped his team with the production of X and the upcoming prequel PEARL.
In the first 30-minutes, we’ll highlight the latest features added to the Media Composer workflow, with a special segment on the virtualization of the entire post production process with Avid | Edit On Demand. The rest of the session will be an open Q&A with you- the audience.
About a year ago, Avid decided to ditch the annual version release, replacing it with a more regular cadence of monthly updates. In this video, we’re looking to recap some of the top new features released over the past 12 months. And, who knows- maybe we’ll get a tease of what’s to come. Corey Tedrow will be joining us shortly to get us all up-to-speed on the latest version of Media Composer.
When I think of Avid Media Composer when comparing to other editors- the core thing that comes to mind is best in the business. When film and television production is your business- television, feature film, tv broadcast, news, or a corporate marketing department- Avid has always been the video editing software of choice for video teams that need to collaborate together as storytellers, creating the highest-end content in the business. (I know, I was there, how do you think my hair got this color)
Some of the most notable Avid Media Composer features include:
There are many other reasons to use Media Composer- like Plugi-n support, high-performance shared storage, and overall third-party integration with professional video hardware and software solutions- but that would need to be a whole separate post.
Before we get into features, I want to quickly define the flavors of Media Composer that people can purchase.

In the video above, Corey Tedrow gets into some- but not all of the latest features added to Media Composer between 2020 thru March 2021. The main updates she covers include Bin Status, Find/Replace, Docking and Tabs, Find Bin from Timeline, Strip Silence, Select Muted Clips, support for the popular codec (H.265, Mp4, IMF), Variable Frame Rate sans Quicktime, and Apple After Burn support. Here are some additional features NOT covered in the video:
Mix audio with ultimate speed and ease
With the new Audio Mixer, you can mix dialogue, sounds, and music faster and more easily than ever before. The modern channel strip layout is dynamically responsive, enabling controls to be displayed or hidden—based on your visibility priority—when you resize or reposition the Mixer window. You can also copy, paste, and move track effects to other slots, map fast menu items to your keyboard, and have always-present access to the Master fader to accelerate mixing tasks.
Decode and export H.265 content
Work directly with HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) video (aka H.265), which provides the same or higher level of image quality as AVC (H.264) but at up to a 50% smaller file size. That means you can open, link to, play, and edit H.265 video files captured by mobile phones, GoPro cameras, and other consumer devices directly in Media Composer. Plus, you can export H.265 media* too.
Create stunning titles and text more easily
Titler+ now includes two new modes—Text and Move—that make creating text of any kind much easier. Text mode enables you to click and type anywhere to create a text layer at that location and return to edit it at any time. Switch to Move mode and you can move the text layer and even change its attributes without fear of editing the text itself.
Edit easier with new enhancements and improvements
The latest Media Composer offers many new capabilities, including some highly desired feature requests we’ve received from you all.
Gain more control over your organization’s workflow (Media Composer | Enterprise only)
No need to search through a long Send to Playback (STP) menu to find the desired device. With the latest Media Composer | Enterprise, administrators can now specify which STP targets are visible to team members, simplifying the experience while reducing human error. Administrators can also enable and disable access to Media Composer | PhraseFind, ScriptSync, Symphony, and NewsCutter at the group or individual level.

Production teams no longer use just a single tool to tell a story. Graphic artist may need to work in Autodesk, Colorist have their favorite settings in DaVinci Resolve and Editors might be split between Premiere Pro and Media Composer. You need a strategy to get all these teams, projects and files organized in a way that enhances collaboration and sharing.
In this episode of Broadcast2Post, we’re diving deep into best practices for enhancing collaboration and sharing using the most popular creative video tools in a cohesive workflow. First, Jeff is going to dive into the ground rules of configuration. Second, we’re inviting our technology partners to demonstrate a few collaboration tools to consider. Then we’ll end the show with a panel discussion of post production customers and industry experts answering your questions live.
If you're looking to setup a collaborative editing workflow for your facility- look no further! Our engineers are standing by to give you a free evaluation of the equipment you'll need to be successful. Contact us for details!
Avid Media Composer has been the backbone editing software platform of choice for motion pictures, television, documentary post production and film schools for years. Media Composer has continued to be the standard for broadcast and productions that require a higher level of collaboration- large volumes of media, file deliverables, and teams working from anywhere. Not to mention Phrasefind, Scriptsync, and Pro Tools integration- but we can save that for another blog.
Avid Media Composer | Enterprise takes what Media Composer is good at and adds a new level of functionality for Facility Engineers, Director of Production Operations, and creative collaborators alike. Enterprise consists of three products- MediaCentral | Editorial Management, Avid MediaCentral | Cloud UX, and Media Composer: Distributed Processing. We will go over these in more detail below.
Alright, let’s get into the Avid Media Composer | Enterprise products and how it will help your post production become more efficient.
Media Composer | Enterprise allows an administrator to customize the Media Composer interface based on roles and functions at your post house or media facility. The site administrator can go into the specific settings for a user or a group, and select specific functions that can be performed. Different options and features can be toggled on/off, including function settings in the bins, tracks, outputs, project formats, project creation, framerates, and other tools within Media Composer. For security, the ability to export cuts, or export to file can also be added or removed for specific users.
The layout of the Media Composer UI can be customized and then standardized for specific users based on their role- like Assistant Editor, Editor, Producer- or other groups created by the facility engineer. This provides your team a clean slate, helping giving staff the tools they need while removing the clutter of features and menus that may confuse them.
Important Note: Avid MediaCentral | Cloud UX is required in addition to Avid Media Composer | Enterprise licenses to access the Enterprise Admin Tool.
Small to Mid-Size Post Houses that need to find footage fast, collaborate easily, and create stories quickly will dig the features in MediaCentral | Editorial Management. Facility administrators can allow their teams to access shared projects, files, and media from a web browser located on-premise, or anywhere in the world- depending on how you want it setup.
MediaCentral | Editorial Management can be really powerful for collaborating, reviewing, and providing feedback with timecode-based comments. Alerts can be setup, so users collaborating on a project can review feedback, and notes can even be reviewed directly inside a Media Composer or Adobe Premiere Pro timeline.
Assistant Editors can log metadata, and create simple timeline edits from a web browser, that can then be shared to other members of the team.
Similar to the customization available in Media Composer, files, features and layouts in Editorial Management can be fully customized down to users and groups.
You hit the export button in Media Composer, then what? Coffee time! No, no, no- get back to work!
Avid Media Composer | Distributed Processing allows you to offload exports and renders to any workstation on your network. You can also put your unused, or older computers, servers, and workstations to work by networking them together as a powerful media render and transcode farm. Distributed Processing can also be tracked, managed and monitored jobs based on a web-based dashboard.
While Distributed Processing is a simple product, it is an important one. Instead of waiting for jobs to complete, Distributed Processing keeps you in your creative zone, so you can continue working in Media Composer and have more time to spend crafting your story.
Avid is making a big push to open up its environments with other third party editing and graphics software used by large creative teams. The Adobe Premiere Pro integration is a big first step, giving Adobe users a MediaCentral | Panel accessible inside Premiere Pro. The Panel can be used to locate clips, sequences, and comments prepared by other collaborators in Editorial Management.
This means you can have Assistant Editors preparing simple sequences, tagging metadata, and assembling media that can then be pulled directly into the editors Adobe Premiere Pro timeline.
Project and File locking is also available to help teams collaborate without overwriting each other’s work.
To get the full value of Avid Media Composer | Enterprise, you’ll need to consider several products within suite. An evaluation call with be needed to assess the features that are needed, the amount of licenses and types of employees accessing the media, and how it will all connect into your greater production pipeline.

In an effort to support post production companies that are juggling work between their ‘office edit bay’ and their ‘home edit bay,’ Avid is offering an upgrade to Media Composer | Ultimate subscription, and providing an additional Media Composer | Ultimate subscription license to businesses that commit to a new subscription model. Essentially, providing two Media Composer subscription licenses for every Media Composer perpetual license converted- regardless of what version you are currently using.
Pay the regular new subscription price for your existing seat-count, then add the extra seats based on the appropriate uplift percentage. Essentially, pay the equivalent of what you would have paid for their current seat count for support over the last 12 months, then add the extra seats based on the appropriate uplift charge.
It it admittedly a complex promotion, and we recommend you reach out to Key Code Media directly to get the fine print details. In the meantime, below is a breakdown of some key reasons to consider converting to Media Composer subcription right now.
A post production operation would take their regular seat-count they already own and add extra seats to cover any future lockdown or disaster recovery. This gives you two licenses- one perpetual, one subscription- for the price of one. Your existing Media Composer perpetual license also gets upgraded to the latest version of Media Composer | Ultimate- regardless of the current version of media composer that the facility uses.
Double the licenses, can help you in a few ways:
Media Composer Ultimate provides the most comprehensive solution of the three Media Composer versions. In addition to all the Media Composer features, Media Composer Ultimate includes multiple add-on options such as the Symphony Option and ScriptSync Option. It also includes support for Avid Solutions such as Interplay | Production and MediaCentral.
The Media Composer | PhraseFind Option, ScriptSync Option, Symphony Option, and NewsCutter Option are included with the Media Composer Ultimate 1-year subscription (and with 2- and 3-year subscriptions). Additional features include All AVX and AAX plug-ins, and Unlimited bins, volume bins, favorite bins, shared bins and projects.
The Key Code Media team is standing by to assist you to navigate upgrading your Media Composer to subscription. We know the transition to subscription is not an easy one. Reach out for a free consultation and pricing information.
