Media Composer is always getting better with new features and improvements. And with your active plan, you get them as soon as we release them.
See what's new in Media Composer
Media Composer now speaks the same language as Pro Tools. With the latest release, you can export a Pro Tools session directly from Media Composer along with your video sequence and edit points. You can also record, punch-in, and monitor multichannel audio using the new MBOX Studio—and more.
Media Composer is also now available in a new team plan, making it easy to manage, deploy, and add multiple licenses as needed.
