Audio Vivid Production Suite—Next-Gen 3D Audio Solution
Pro Tools 2025.12 delivers support for Audio Vivid—the world’s first AI-powered audio codec standard that provides creators with powerful and efficient tools to precisely position and move sound objects in three-dimensional space. Released by the UHD World Association (UWA), Audio Vivid is an end-to-end solution that preserves the creator’s intent to deliver an immersive auditory experience with consistency regardless of the playback environment—from binaural to multi-speaker configurations.
Audio Vivid support is available to all Pro Tools Studio and Ultimate subscribers and customers with active perpetual upgrade plans and includes the Audio Vivid Production Suite that lets you mix and render Audio Vivid content directly inside your session. Pro Tools supports multiple immersive mixes within a single session, so you can quickly start your Audio Vivid mix from an existing immersive session and continue to mix and edit in multiple formats with arrangement changes automatically reflected across every mix.
The Audio Vivid Production Suite is a Pro Tools-native extension engineered for spatial audio creators—from mixing engineers and game-audio designers to VR/AR producers and film post-production studios. With support from binaural stereo to full 7.1.4 surround, and export in WAV, ADM, and Audio Vivid standard MP4 (AV3A), you get a seamless, end-to-end workflow: from spatial placement and editing → to mixing → to delivery.
