To help speed up workflows, collaboration, and accessibility to services everywhere, Avid has introduced the new Avid MediaCentral Platform—an open, extensible, and customizable foundation on which the entire Avid product suite is built, bringing the Avid Everywhere vision to life.

Whether you create or distribute content in a large media enterprise, post-production facility, or your own studio, the Avid MediaCentral Platform enables you to streamline your entire workflow—from media creation to monetization—with greater flexibility. Plus, the platform provides the utmost security and protection at its core to safeguard your content and assets, as currently evident in demanding Interplay | Production and iNEWS environments.

In today’s pro video industry, collaborating with professionals worldwide isn’t optional—it’s essential. With Media Composer | Cloud (formerly Interplay Sphere), you can extend real-time production everywhere, enabling editors to connect Media Composer | Software remotely to Interplay | Production on your platform and access, edit, and share the same media, and collaborate with others as if they were all in the same facility.

This remote collaboration also enables production companies shooting on location to accelerate dailies tasks and get a head start on editing. And by enabling team members to review and approve content remotely through the cloud, you can ensure that production never stops moving—regardless of proximity challenges.

Whether you’re creating a Hollywood blockbuster or an indie film, today’s audiences expect an extremely high level of quality. To create content that will engage and entertain audiences, media professionals need workflows that free them from technological complexity and help them maximize their time in the creative zone.

The scale of projects is hard to anticipate—client expectations and requirements can change rapidly, often in the middle of a project. It’s crucial for video professionals to leverage solutions that are easily scalable, so they can adapt quickly to changing demands and take advantage of new projects and opportunities.

Easily scale the number of editors on your team

With the new Media Composer | Software subscription and floating license offerings, you can now scale your workgroup as needed—even at a moment’s notice. Simply add additional Media Composer seats on a month-to-month basis when production demands extra editors.

With floating licensing, you can quickly and easily distribute licenses across your facility, on demand, from a single, centralized server. And because Media Composer editors can collaborate both locally and remotely, you can extend your production beyond the walls of your facility. You’ll always have the flexibility and choice you need to best address your project requirements.
