Media Composer | Software Updates Professional Features for Creative Editorial
Avid Blogs by Wm Van den Broeck
Avid just released the first update of Media Composer | Software, since its launch, last May. If you have a Subscription, Perpetual or Floating License plan, you are entitled to this new version! Look for the update in your Application Manager. Customers with Internet connections will see notifications of an update in their Application Manager. Click “Update” in Application Manager to start the download and installation process without having to go to the Avid web site. Those without internet connections on their systems or those who wish to manually install the software can obtain the new version from their MyAvid account or the Video Download Center.
There are lots of new features in this release. We invite you to share and/or like your favorite one(s) through the attached Instagram Video links (just click the Instagram logo, followed by “View on Instagram” to view or like). As always, you can find more details about changes and features in the Media Composer | Software Documentation.
Here are some of the latest new features to boost your creativity and efficiency.
1) AAX Plug-in Support
The editing application now supports 64 bit AAX (Avid Audio eXtension) plug-ins. AAX plug-ins are audio effects that you apply to tracks within your sequence. These plug-ins let you process audio effects on a track in real time so that you can play them back or output them without rendering them. These are the very same AAX audio effects that Avid Pro Tools supports.
AAX plug-ins replace the RTAS plug-ins. Most of the RTAS plug-in parameters are available as AAX parameters. Therefore you can use older sequences with RTAS effects without re-tweaking the new AAX parameters. Please read the What’s New Guide to make sure which of your old RTAS plug-ins get automatically updated to AAX plug-ins.
It’s worth mentioning that Media Composer now has delay compensation, so that plug-in processing delays won’t introduce A/V sync slip. read more...

Avid has now released the latest version (MC 8.0) in all the new licensing options. The key differentiators between the various flavors of licensing is the included 3rd party and Avid software.
