Media Composer is built for large-scale film and television productions, giving you fluid control over massive, multi-track sequences. Experience a video editing timeline designed for high-speed editing work and trim tools that never lose sync.
Streamline your creative edits
Slip audio and video independently
Fine-tune picture and sound independently across multiple tracks. Add frames to one side of a cut while removing them from another to adjust pacing, preserve sync, and shape dialogue with frame-level control.
Chop and ripple clips with one key
Remove unwanted footage from a clip with a single keystroke. Ripple-delete to the playhead, clean up selects faster, and keep your timeline moving without stopping to mark every edit.
Refine cuts live during playback
Adjust edit points while your sequence plays back, so you can judge timing in context. Refine action, movement, music, dialogue, or scene rhythm without constantly stopping playback.
Create cleaner morph transitions
Use FluidMorph to blend similar shots into smoother, more natural-looking transitions. Align adjacent frames to minimize warp artifacts and reduce tedious manual paint and cleanup.
