Introducing Media Composer: the affordable, flexible, hardware-independent film and video editing solution for MacOS X, and Windows XP systems. New features include support for the Intel on Mac systems, the high quality low bandwidth DNxHD 36 Codec, improved XDCAM and P2 workflows, ScriptSync the automated script editor, 720p50 format support —plus all the creative tools, integrated media management, and multi-format editing support that have made Media Composer the best editor on the planet.

Edit faster with higher-quality results
Intuitive, integrated media management. Faster trim tools. One-step color correction. Image stabilization. Real-time animated alpha channels. 16-bit AVX effects processing. The industry's most accurate and reliable film editing workflow. No other application offers the features and functionality of the Media Composer software toolset.

Mix and edit multiple formats in real time
Combine HD, SD, DV, and film formats and resolutions, as well as Avid AVR and Meridien JFIF media, in the same timeline - without rendering, transcoding, or re-digitizing. Edit native DVCPRO HD and HDV media. And take advantage of real-time, mixed-format HD, SD, and DV multicam editing.

Handle film and video sources with confidence
The industry's most powerful and precise 24p technology lets you handle film and video projects with equal ease and efficiency. Features such as real-time pulldown of 24p media directly over IEEE-1394 (FireWire) eliminate time-consuming conversions and offers greater flexibility to output to video or film.

Be more productive-and have more time to create
The unified Avid editing environment and seamless conform between Avid editing and finishing systems eliminates the need to re-create or re-build creative editorial work in the online suite. Support for Avid Unity media networks and Avid Interplay nonlinear workflows adds background media management and true facility-wide collaboration.
