In case you missed it over the Christmas period, we'd like to remind you that Avid Media Composer has been updated to version 8.3 

What's new?

High Resolution Sequence Formats Supported by Media Composer

The editing application supports higher than HD sequence formats.

High-Res Output 

The editing application supports exporting DPX (Windows and Mac) and exporting ProRes 444 (Mac only)

Resolution Independence 

You can now edit and playback UHD, 2K, and 4K sequences on your Timeline, as well as transcode, render and output high-resolution formats.

Color Management

Media Composer supports BT/Rec. 2020 and DCI-P3 color spaces.

Frame Rates 

The editing application supports additional frame rates.

A new Avid codec family, DNxHR will support any frame size to allow 4K and proxy workflows.

Play and Render Sequence in Proxy

You can work with a “Proxy Timeline”. You can play your sequence at 1/4 or 1/16 of the current project resolution.

High-Res 4K Monitor Support

You can preview your media at Full Size through the “Full Screen Playback” option.

Title Tool Replacement for High Resolution Projects

For higher than HD projects, use the New Blue Titler to create titles.

And more.
