Independent video editors looking for a professional editorial toolset with support for up to 99 video tracks and 99 audio tracks can rely on Avid Media Composer Standard, an industry-standard professional video editing software compatible with both macOS and Windows platforms. This version is an upgrade to a perpetual license for your preexisting software. Offering 64-bit performance, Avid DNxHR and Avid Resolution Independence technologies, and background rendering and transcoding, Media Composer Standard allows you to work with high-resolution media efficiently.
The program features built-in visual effects, green screen composites, motion effects, transitions, color-correction tools, and graphical titles and animations. It allows you to preview clips before committing them to a project, edit multicamera projects, and automate non-creative media tasks such as transcoding, consolidating, and relinking. The application also lets you record, edit, and mix up to 64 audio tracks in 7.1-channel surround sound, create groups to mix dialog, foley, music, and sound effects more easily, and polish soundtracks using the same audio effects and sound processors used in the popular Avid Pro Tools audio application.
