En helt ny versjon av den kraftige redigeringspakken til Avid. Her er nyhetene:

Mix and Match Frame Rates
Work with mismatched media without rendering or restriction. With the new Frame Rate Mix & Match feature, you can mix and match SD and HD formats at 24, 29.97, 30, 50, and 59.94 fps in the same timeline. Eliminate the time and money spent on external transcoding and frame rate conversions, and enjoy real-time, broadcast-quality playback

Sync with Pro Tools Editors
With the Video Satellite option, Pro Tools editors can now use a Mac OS X-based Media Composer system (in addition to Windows Vista and XP) as a Pro Tools Video Satellite, meaning you won’t have to transcode video, render effects, or copy files for them. Learn more about Pro Tools interoperability with Avid systems in this white paper.

Deliver Masters in AVC-Intra Format
Easily integrate into the popular Panasonic AVC-Intra pipeline and deliver final masters in AVC-Intra (P2) format for further handling and playout. With new AVC-Intra encoding, you can work with any P2 project in its original native format, from acquisition to delivery, for the quickest project turnarounds.

Expanded GFCAM Support
With this latest release, you can instantly access and edit Ikegami GFCAM 100 Mb-formatted material (in addition to GFCAM 50 Mb material) directly on GFPAK media or an AMA Virtual Volume through AMA (Avid Media Access). Get the fastest GFCAM workflow from shoot to edit, with full native support for the format and all metadata.

Be More Creative and Productive
With new features, tools, filters, and support in the included Production Suite (formerly Software Suite), you can be even more creative and productive than ever before. Create stunning visual effects with new filters and effects in Avid FX 5.8 and Boris Continuum 6. Get higher quality encoding, Mac burning, and expanded codec support in Sorenson Squeeze 5. Create music tracks with more ease with SmartSound Sonicfire Pro 5. And author and burn DVDs and Blu-ray Discs with Avid DVD by Sonic 6 (Windows only).
