AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 8.5
Update Now Available
If you have a current Avid Support Plan or Subscription you can upgrade today! Get Avid Media Composer 8.5 with exciting new features and important bug fixes now via the Avid Download Center (login and password required).
New Features:
-
Menu Simplification: The menus have been reorganized to remove legacy menu items and simplify the user
experience.
-
Timeline UI Improvements: A number of updates have been made to the timeline, including enabling Sync
Rollers for Sync Locked Tracks, the ability to see full segments as you drag them within the timeline, as well as the effect their repositioning will have on the rest of the timeline before you commit the change, and creating a new track by dragging a segment above or below the
timeline.
-
Support for 64 Tracks of Audio: Users can now create and work with 64 individual tracks of
audio.
-
Group by Audio Waveforms: Group clips can be made based on audio waveform analysis.
-
HDR Support: Media Composer now includes color spaces for High Dynamic Range (HDR).
This provides support for a higher range of video signal, and enables automatic color transformations for source files based on the HDR color space set in the project.
-
Audio Mixer Updates: You can now resize the Audio Mixer and create custom track groupings.
-
FrameFlex Rotation: Users can rotate the framing box in the FrameFlex source settings using the Z
rotation slides, enabling the straightening or reframing of an image at the source level rather than in the timeline.
-
Interactive Video Frame Cache: A new Video Memory tab has been added to the Media Cache settings to
allow users to save generated frames of the current playing sequence into a memory storage cache, resulting in faster response times while editing and playing back media.
-
UI Personalization Tools: Additional UI settings have been added to allow users to change the
background color of the Project Window and Timeline, and override Bin and Project fonts and font sizes.
-
Bin Columns Updates: The process for adding Custom Columns as well as Multiple Columns in bins has
been simplified, and you can now copy and paste the same text to multiple fields within a column.
-
Identifying Rendered Effects: Users can now choose to differentiate between rendered effect media and
Title and Matte key effect media in the Media Tool.
This is helpful when identifying media to delete.
-
Ancillary Data SCC Import: Media Composer now supports importing of Scenarist Closed Caption (.scc)
files.
- …and more!
