WELCOME TO CREATE... THE EDITOR
There’s been plenty going on at Avid over recent months, gearing up for the massive new release of two of its key products; Media Composer and Pro Tools. The releases – Media Composer 6 and Pro Tools 10, along with the Pro Tools|HDX workstation – are now available and mark a giant leap forward in terms of speed, fl exibility and performance. You can fi nd out more about both products in the news pages of Create, and also read about Media Composer 6’s new stereo 3d tools on page 23. Elsewhere in this issue there’s a
feature demystifying the role of Avid Interplay Production in managing media, enabling truly collaborative working and providing on-demand access to the entire library of video clips and rushes in a production company, broadcaster or post house’s archives. Create also investigates why some of the UK’s largest post houses – Envy, Sumners, Evolutions, The Farm Group and Prime Focus – have chosen to put Avid at the heart of each of their recent expansions. And, as always, throughout this issue you’ll fi nd the usual mix of informative profi les of recent productions – from comedy to live events – that have used Avid to great effect. Until next time...
