Avid Media Composer Mojo DX

Overview

Editing done right
Editing is about speed, flexibility, and "feel". Refined editing tools, integrated media management, and seamless conform help you stay relaxed and focused on telling the best story. And Avid's Open Timeline lets you juggle formats and ideas- offering real-time editing and playback of multiple SD and HD resolutions.

Seamless integration into any workflow
Native integration of P2, XDCAM-HD, and HDV formats lets you focus on editing, not getting data into and out of the system. The Avid DNxHD36 codec provides the perfect solution for HD offline. Need to go out to DVD, Blu-ray, or the Web? Sorensen Squeeze and Avid DVD by Sonic (PC only) are included for multi-format output.

Engineered for collaboration
Share media, projects, and ideas and make the best use of resources and staff skills. Media Composer integrates directly with Avid Unity shared storage solutions and the Avid Interplay nonlinear workflow engine, for real-time collaboration at every level.

Get the look, effects, and quality you envision
Match shots quickly with the industry-standard Avid color correction toolset. Work in high-quality HD with Avid DNxHD. And push the envelope with SpectraMatte keying, Fluid Motion time effects, Boris Continuum Complete, and a wide range of third-party AVX2 plug-ins.

A worldwide, world-class community
Avid forums connect you with other editors. A range of support and training programs tailored to your needs and budget keep you on top of your game. And our online and real-world user communities provide feedback, news, and support.

What's new in Media Composer Mojo DX*

*Availability planned for June 2008

Editing done right

• Editing interface
  Edit faster with the most efficient, accurate and flexible editing interface available, and a very responsive timeline. Work the way you want with the mouse, screen buttons or keyboard shortcuts. With full customization to speed things up further. Enjoy fast system response through the tight integration of CPU, GPU and Avid Mojo DX hardware.
• Trimming tools
  Avid's powerful trimming tools are legendary and unsurpassed. Trim transitions with total flexibility: With the mouse, on-the-fly or nudge frame-by-frame. Slip and slide clips with a comprehensive two, four or six-frame display.
• Script based editing
  Take the work out of editing of scripted or transcript based productions. With ScriptSync, dailies are phonetically synced to the script automatically, so lining up dailies to the script takes minutes, not hours.
• Open Timeline
  Multi-format editing in real-time, mixing SD and HD, without rendering or transcoding. Mix SD and HD, online and offline. Play any mix of resolutions in the same timebase in real-time via the SDI outputs.
• Media management
  The most reliable and accurate media management available. Don't worry about losing media or render files; the software keeps track of everything. It even allows sequences to relink to multiple resolutions.
• Database management
  Create custom metadata fields to track your material the way you want. Use multi-level sort and sift to find information far beyond the reach of OS-level searches.

Seamless integration into any workflow

• Total Conform
  Create the most streamlined offline/online workflow by opening your projects and media in other Avid editors such as Avid Media Composer and Avid Symphony. Every media clip, edit and effect is directly available, so start the online without any delay.
• Native HD codec support
  Flexible native support for a large variety of HD codecs: HDV, XDCAM-HD, XDCAM-EX, DVCPRO HD and AVC-I, in progressive 720p, 1080p and interlaced formats. No need to transcode, edit in real-time even when mixing codecs.
• HD offline with DNxHD36
  Get the best possible picture quality at the lowest possible data rate by capturing your progressive HD material in Avid's DNxHD36 codec for offline HD editing, for a screening-quality full-raster version of your edits.
• File-based workflows
  Save time and retain quality, using a tapeless workflow. Transfer P2 and XDCAM files directly from disk or card, or play directly from P2 cards. Edit the media in its native format and write back directly to the disk or card.
• Film editing tools
  Use the award-winning Avid Film Composer toolset for the most powerful and accurate film workflow. Save time with automatic syncing of audio and video and seamless tracking of timecode, KeyKode and other metadata.
• Timecode and subtitling creation
  Speed up any online or audio post workflow by creating an on-screen timecode display in real-time. Use the SubCap tool to deliver open-caption subtitling deliverables, with import and export of EBU-N19 formats.

The perfect choice for collaboration

• Shared media
  With Avid Unity media networks, sharing media means true collaboration at any scale. Multiple editors can not only play the same file, they can even capture to the same volume simultaneously.
• Performance and reliability
  Engineered for deadline-driven, real-time collaboration, Avid Unity media networks combine high-performance hardware and software in a family of integrated, turnkey solutions-all backed and supported by a single, trusted source.
• Shared projects and bins
  For true efficiency when working together, bins are not linked to a specific project or user. Open bins from another project in your current project, without making a copy. Give other editors access to your bins, even while you are still using them.
• User settings
  Take all your user settings with you when you move from one Avid system to another, even from an offline to an online or finishing system. All our shortcuts, keyboard and screen customization are there for you to use, so you will be up and running in no time.
• Remote Play and Capture
  Use your editing systems as networked playback and recording devices with the Remote Play and Capture features, for example with live studio or outside broadcast events. Save time by eliminating the need to capture after the event.
• Interplay support
  Bring collaboration to the next level with support for Avid Interplay nonlinear workflow engine. Add sophisticated multi-contributor asset management, multi-resolution workflows, rules-based transcoding and other tools for facility-wide collaboration.
