Overview

Interest in stereo 3D storytelling has been rekindled over the past couple years. Always responsive to industry needs, Avid is leading the way “back to the future” by bringing editorial solutions to your stereoscopic 3D workflows. Helping to meet the many challenges inherent in the creation of 3D content, Avid provides features that enable you to view edits directly in stereo 3D without having to leave the edit suite.

Now, Avid has the technology you need to significantly enhance the viewing experience of a whole new generation of movie audiences.

The new stereoscopic features in Media Composer have improved our dailies workflow. In the past, we had to export an EDL, run it through stereoscopic conform software and then compare that output with the cut in the Avid. We have been able to streamline that process and, instead, just press play.
