The NAB announcements continue as Avid has introduced what they’re calling “integrated open and cloud-enabled post-production workflows” at NAB 2025. Being the editor that I am, I’m looking specifically at Media Composer and I do see some notes such as updates to the AI-powered PhraseFind and ScriptSync tools as well as improved Media Composer to Pro Tools interoperability. Beyond that, there is several enterprise tools and integrations with Amazon’s AWS.
This one particularly caught my eye:
Extending Media Composer® Panel Capabilities – Enables integration of a broader array of custom and third-party applications, services, and libraries directly within the Media Composer user experience, including Flawless’ DeepEditor™ for seamless, artist-driven story refinement.
I love good third-party tool integration. Many editing tools have gotten infinitely better because third parties build tools to integrate into existing editing tools. I’ve never heard of Flawless’s DeepEditor, but that looks crazy. If you’re heading to NAB, drop by the Avid booth at SL1516 Take a look. The full press release is below.
