Behind the Magic: Editing Wicked with Avid Media Composer

Telling a story as legendary as Wicked takes more than just on-screen talent; it requires the right creative tools behind the scenes. In this exclusive case study, acclaimed editor Myron Kerstein, ACE (In the Heights, Crazy Rich Asians) reveals how Avid Media Composer helped shape the highly anticipated feature film adaptation of Wicked.

Balancing heartfelt performances with dynamic musical sequences, Kerstein used Avid’s powerful editing features to control pace, emotion, and narrative flow. Backed by Pro Tools for immersive sound design and scoring mixed in Dolby Atmos, the post team built a truly magical viewing experience.

“Avid allowed me to stay focused on character and emotion, no matter how big the scene got,” Kerstein shares.

This is a must-watch for editors, filmmakers, and Wicked fans alike. Check out the full video:
