Integrate workflows and collaborate as a team

Avid Media Composer Ultimate is professional video editing software that offers real-time collaborative workflows.

O Media Composer Ultimate offers the most comprehensive solution of the three versions of Media Composer.

In addition to all the features of Media Composer, Media Composer Ultimate includes several add-on options, such as the Symphony option and the ScriptSync option.

Also includes support for Avid solutions like Interplay | Production and MediaCentral.

(See the full list of options and solutions in the Resources section below.)

As for other resources, the Media Composer Ultimate is designed with ACE-certified tools and lets you edit everything from SD to 8K and higher, HDR, stereoscopic 3D, and a wide variety of file formats, camera formats, and codecs without transcoding.

Offering 64-bit performance, Avid DNxHR and Avid Resolution Independence technologies, and background rendering and transcoding, the Media Composer Ultimate allows you to work with high-resolution, high-frame-rate media efficiently. The program features 24 video tracks, visual effects, green screen composites, motion effects, transitions, color correction tools, and graphic titles and animations. It allows you to preview clips before sending them to a project, edit multi-camera projects, and automate non-creative media tasks such as transcoding, consolidation, and relinking.

What's new in Media Composer 2020

Bin Find and Replace - Bins now contain a Find and Replace tool that allows you to find specific text in a bin column and then optionally replace it with new text

UI and UX updates - Gain greater control over your editing tools with numerous customization and usability updates.
You now have the freedom to choose from more UI brightness options, change font sizes and styles in more windows, and adjust the intensity of metadata text.
Work the way you want with a dockable settings window, extending bin background colors to tabs, and manage projects through a robust project management window.
Optimize your workspace by automatically adding blank panes to maintain the relative position and size of your windows.

Universal Media Engine — Media Composer now relies on the Universal Media Engine (or UME) when working with file-based media. This removes our dependence on legacy QuickTime components while introducing new features, expanded format support, and various performance improvements.

The latest updates include:

Custom raster export for ideal formatting for phones or social media sites

Media support with variable frame rate recorded on phones and personal devices
Export MP4 files using DNxHD, DNxHR, H.264, XAVC Intra and Long GOP and AVC Intra and Long GOP

Native ProRes media support 4444XQ Create and export ProRes media on Windows in MOV or MXF wrappers
Bulk Edit - Save time and repetition when editing Bin metadata by using this powerful tool to modify multiple rows of a column in a Bin. Append text, add counters, and even change cases, all while previewing your changes as you manipulate the column cells.

Timeline sequence map - Easily view and navigate the timeline horizontally, vertically or even diagonally. The sequence map can be shown as an overlay on the timeline or in its own dedicated window that can be docked, tabbed, or floating.
