Avid And BlackMagic Design Showcase Latest Post Production Tools At The Editors' Lounge

Online, June 3, 2012 (Newswire.com) - The Editors' Lounge hosted their Post NAB 2012 Roundup recently with Avid and BlackMagic Design showcasing their latest tools for post production. Over 100 production and post-production professionals were in attendance with lucky winners receiving copies of Avid's Symphony 6 and BlackMagic's Davinci Resolve at the end of the evening.

Avid Video Application Specialist Derek Benton demonstrated powerful and timesaving features in Symphony 6, including support of additional media formats via AMA, stereoscopic 3D editorial tools and effects, along with 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound mixing. Benton also presented Symphony's enhanced speed and performance as a 64-bit application, the updated user interface, and advanced color correction and finishing within the application. Benton comments, "The Editor's Lounge gives us the opportunity to connect with the film editing community and get valuable product feedback, as well as hear about how they are using our products. The Media Composer or Symphony and Resolve workflow is very popular and Avid and BlackMagic are working together to make it even better in future releases. Getting valuable professional user input helps us continually develop the best products for our customers."

Scott Wood, Avid Senior Audio Application Specialist, discussed how the interoperability between Media Composer 6 and Pro Tools 10 has been improved through features such as multi-channel track support in Media Composer 6, RTAS plug-ins, and the consistent naming of attributes between Media Composer and Pro Tools. Wood also shared examples of ISIS shared storage workflows between video and audio projects, as well as best practices that picture editors should consider when working with an audio editor.

BlackMagic Design demonstrated updates to DaVinci Resolve that features a faster user interface, streamlined workflows, and log-grading in corrector nodes. Also on hand was BlackMagic's entirely revamped line of Teranex processors that allows video editors to move between hundreds of video formats in real time.
