Reseñas y detalles del producto de Media Composer

He estado usando Avid durante más de 5 años en el trabajo y para uso personal. Es muy versátil y muy fácil de usar. También es bastante asequible. No hay fallos, errores o retrasos en la edición y el equipo de servicio al cliente es bastante servicial.

También se carga muy rápido sin demoras. También he usado otros Avids con otros proyectos y no ha habido problemas con la transferencia. Además, importar y exportar medios y secuencias es muy rápido sin retrasos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

La interfaz podría ser un poco más agradable ya que es todo gris y negro. Ojalá tuvieran más opciones de color para alegrar tu secuencia de edición. La forma en que guarda puede ser un poco complicada como proyectos. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Avid Media Composer es un producto muy maduro que te da control total sobre tu proyecto. Fue el primero en integrar una pista de datos de subtítulos cerrados. Aunque no hace las cosas automáticamente por ti, sí se vincula automáticamente a una gran variedad de formatos de archivo. Sus herramientas de edición fina son intuitivas y poderosas. Puede exportar a programas de audio como Pro Tools sin problemas. Es un programa confiable. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Avid a veces es lento para actualizarse al último sistema operativo. Por ejemplo, Avid Media Composer todavía no es nativo con los procesadores Apple Silicon y tiene que ser interpretado a través de Rosetta, lo que no aprovecha completamente el potencial de los nuevos procesadores.

Nada que desagradar, en general buen software de edición. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Media Composer is suited to big projects, for example a documentary series with hundreds of hours of footage. Its bin system and hierarchy of clips and subclips are great for organising material – as long as you stick to a disciplined workflow and don't just throw stuff in the cupboard.

The trim feature is powerful and has several modes to suit your preference. There are several ways of doing most things and lots of options to customise the interface.

Multiple users can work on the same project simultaneously. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Media Composer is not easy to learn. It can be counter-intuitive and features are tucked away in unexpected places.

Although the application can do most things, some tasks are over-complicated compared with Final Cut and Premier, or require a work-around.

The whole application is riddled with bugs, which is surprising considering how long it's been around. A look through Avid's own forums reveals thousands of pleas from desperate editors stopped in their tracks with a deadline looming. Niggly glitches appear and disappear for reasons unknown.

Media management can be a nightmare. Clips can come unlinked to their files, threatening the entire project. The relink command seldom if ever works.

Some features are very disappointing, for example shot stablization which often seems to make no difference. Compare that with Final Cut's "tripod mode" which works like a dream. Audio EQ is another area that falls far behind the competition. High-end editors find they need expensive plug-ins to get the best results. For a mature application that claims to be the choice of top professionals, everything should "come in the box."

Error messages are prolific and incomprehensible. Why can't they explain the problem in plain language? From forum posts it's clear that even the experts don't know what they mean.

The licensing procedure is rather clunky, made more difficult by Avid's website which seems more intent on marketing than providing useful information for users.

It's true that MC is widely used in broadcast and film studios, but that's partly because it was one of the first NLEs. It got a toehold in the industry when it was too expensive for those further down the food chain. Having struggled to master this difficult programme, many editors were reluctant to tackle another.

In my view Avid has rested on its laurels. It stood by while the opposition caught up and overtook. Now it tries to hold its place with new features which very few will need. It should concentrate on fixing what's broken and making the application more stable and user friendly. And it should make sure the box includes all the things that really matter.

I've been using MC for 17 years but If I was starting again knowing what I know now, it would not be my choice of editor. Sometimes I love it, but just as often it frustrates the hell out of me! Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Extremadamente fácil colaborar con otras estaciones en proyectos. Hace el proceso fluido entre 2 usuarios. Una vez comprendidos, los procesos son rápidos e instintivos. Cualquier tipo de cambio se puede realizar de manera rápida y eficiente y según tus estándares y preferencias exactas. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Puede ser muy difícil entender algunas de las características. Los mensajes de error a veces son imposibles de descifrar. Puede ser extremadamente abrumador para los principiantes, pero con la orientación adecuada es factible. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I like the different and desperate bin layouts. This helps when I am editing different files for different stories (at the news station I work at). Most settings and layout are fairly user-friendly, especially once given an overview by a colleague. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Although user-friendly, sometimes Media Composer can be tricky in knowing where every option is. Sometimes it freezes up and needs to be shutdown. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

The best thing about Avid is the talent pool that's experienced and comfortable with it. Most post production workflows are built around it because it's become so ubiquitous in the business. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Many of the Avid tools are rudimentary at best. The VFX toolset, for example, is pretty weak compared to Adobe Premiere. It doesn't play well with others, particularly, so interfacing with non-Avid products for color or VFX can be difficult. They haven't really done much in the way of new features or upgrades.

MEdia Composer is the industry standard and it hits every marek on necessary options. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Its kind of expensive but totally worth it. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I like that you can organize all of the footage accordingly and that you have so much freedom while managing the audio in relation to video. I also like that it allows you to have many editors in one project. In addition, the myriad of options when it comes to editing is very helpful. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

I dislike that the process is so systematic and not too intuitive when it comes to bins. It takes a couple of times to be able to get comfortable with the system, especially because there are so many options that it might be hard to get used to them and take advantage of them and use them properly.
