Avid Media Composer 7 is Now Available

Avid Media Composer 7, which was announced back in April at NAB 2013, is now available to all.

New features in Media Composer 7 include the following:

• AMA media management — Media linked via Avid Media Access (AMA) now benefits from the complete suite of industry-leading media management tools formerly reserved for native Avid media.
• Dynamic media folders — Accelerates and simplifies AMA media management tasks automatically in the background.
• FrameFlex™ tool and LUT support — Enables editors to ingest 2K, 4K, and 5K media with real-time color space conversion and deliver content directly to HD.
• Master Audio Fader — Enables editors to control overall program volume and insert plug-ins for compression, equalization, and compliance metering.
• Clip Gain — Editors can adjust gain on a specific clip, independent of track-based automation, without engaging separate audio tools.
• Symphony Color Correction option — Lets editors add advanced color correction tools previously found only in Avid Symphony.
• Interplay Sphere for Mac — Enables creative teams to edit, share, tag, track, and sync media as it flows through the production process anywhere in the world (Media Composer Interplay Edition required).

Media Composer 7 retails for $999 and is available direct from Avid. Upgrades from MC 6.5 are $299, while upgrades from earlier versions are $399.
