Avid Technology had released the latest version of it’s flagship Media Composer software. Version 3.5 boasts the ability to harness a 3D Stereoscopic workflow to accommodate the increasing number of films produced and distributed in 3D. Another added feature is native support for Sony’s XDCAM HD and EX formats allowing editors to quickly ingest material captured in these emerging standards. The latest version of the software also delivers a variety of new features designed to help editors work more creatively and efficiently including; streamlined HD audio and video workflows; addional offline editorial effects including keyframable color correction and a new “Fluid Stabilizer”; CPU and GPU acceleration of visual effects and improved interoperability with Digidesign’s Pro Tools. This upgrade also applies to Media Composer Symphony and NewCutter and is shipping now. For more information see Avid’s website.

    hey,
    if the native support for Sony’s XDCAM HD and EX is anything like the support for Panasonic’s AVC Intra then it will not work at all and is most likely a lie.

    that’s not true. audio will be supported but the video will be “media offline.”

    i upgraded to 3.whatever for an AVC Intra project. Man, did I get screwed. Avid offered no support and could not explain why i was hearing audio but had “media offline” in my monitors.

    thanks guys and keep up the great work in tewksbury or wherever the hell.

    Did you have the Pana AVC-Intra drivers installed ?
    These are required for MAC or PC
    MC V3 or higher supports AVC-Intra!
