Industry Buzz

Avid's presence across the media production industries is so vast that filmmakers, broadcasters, recording engineers, game developers, effects artists, and other media professionals often wonder how they ever managed to get their work done in the days before Avid pioneered the concept of using a computer to digitally manipulate film, video, audio, and 3D animation. That spirit of innovation continues to this day, with increasingly powerful, integrated solutions that reflect Avid's dedication to quality, and its longstanding commitment to empowering the creativity behind the world's most widely recognized media. Learn what the top industry organizations and publications are saying about Avid.
