Avid Media Composer 6.5 Software

Avid 6.5 Upgrad Features

• Version and Archive Finished Sequences with AS-02:With support for the AS-02 MXF mastering format through AMA, managing multiple versions of the same sequence is easy, as AS-02 packs everything into a single bundle without duplicating assets, saving storage space
• Master-Quality Archives with JPEG 2000: Encode and decode sequences-in mastering quality-using the JPEG 2000 codec, which helps preserve the quality of versioning and archival content in an AS-02 workflow
• Export Content Using AMA: AMA makes it easy to access and edit file-based media without transcoding. Now you can use AMA to export files back to the media's original source format for archiving or final delivery
• Set and Output AFD Sequences: With new Active Format Description (AFD) support, you can create, edit, set and deliver HD content and rest assured that it'll be presented optimally to your audience as intended-even when down-converted and reformatted to a different aspect ratio
• Relink Clips Using Common Metadata: Gain more freedom and flexibility to interact with media from other software applications. With advanced relink support, you can dynamically reconnect clips to the original or new media using a wide variety of common metadata fields-anything that's being tracked
• Open Up Your Workflow with Hardware Release: With the new hardware release control, which works with Avid and third-party I/O hardware, you can activate/deactivate your hardware -- without disconnecting it
• Work Faster with Advanced Audio Keyframing: Save time when editing soundtracks. With new audio keyframe enhancements, you can now copy, paste, cut, move and adjust audio keyframes -- including groups -- anywhere on the timeline
