Editing done right.

Want to work with more than one HD format at the same time? Or mix HD and SD footage? Maybe even have some film footage in the mix? Skip the pain of transcoding. Only Avid Xpress Pro software allows you to combine video and film formats and resolutions in their native form, on the same timeline, in real time. Learn more.

Equally powerful on Mac and PC.

Use the most powerful machine you can find, on the platform of your choice. With both platforms included in every box, you can work on one platform at work, another on the road any way you need it, no problem. Change your platform later? Just take the software with you! Learn more.

More cameras. More formats.

Work with the most popular formats including HDV, DVCPRO HD, 10-bit SD, native DV50, Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2, and Avid DNxHD formats. Learn more.

Manage your business, not your gear.

One-stop shopping. One-stop support. Save yourself from the multiple-vendor “blame game.” Rest assured that trained video, audio, and storage professionals are on hand to help you with anything you need, including set-up, troubleshooting, and workflow consultation. Learn more.

The power of the pros, at your fingertips.

Exceptionally powerful color correction tools you won’t find elsewhere, including Curves and One-touch automatic correction means your images will look better, faster. And Avid Marquee gives you a complete 2D and 3D title animation toolset integrated in the editor. Learn more.

Film, HD, and the Web: together at last.

You can easily track advanced film metadata, including KeyKode™ and multiple timecodes, directly inside the editing interface. Edit with Avid DNxHD codec to maintain mastering quality throughout post production, then write back to optical media, tape, or publish to your favorite Web format including WMV and QuickTime HD files. Learn more.

Media management made easy.

Powered by a patented dynamic media database, Avid media management proves itself daily on the world’s most complex productions. Share bins between projects, work with multiple versions and resolutions of a project, move projects between computers with only the media you need perfectly, painlessly, every time. Your media deserves this kind of care, and so do you. Learn more.

It’s all about collaboration.

Owning Avid Xpress Pro software gives you access to the ecosystem of the world’s most accomplished editors for the help you need. Built-in total conform means that you can finish projects on Avid Media Composer, Avid Symphony Nitris, and Avid DS Nitris systems quickly, easily, and cost-effectively – without resorting to complicated, incomplete workflows. Easily send projects to Digidesign Pro Tools for audio finishing, too. Learn more.
