New features of the Media Composer 2019.9 include more space for custom buttons in the timeline, and quick-access color pickers for bin and timeline clips. The left-lock scrolling feature for text-view inside bins is back, and better than ever. Also, the Mute and Solo buttons have been placed side-by-side for easier access. This version also brings an exciting new capability: the Adobe Premiere Pro sequence importer. This is so you can easily import Premiere sequences, and start editing them in Avid Media Composer.

Distributing Process

Media Composer | Distributed Processing is getting an update as well. Version 2019.9 for Windows is now shipping, bringing with it new performance improvements. The Mac-compatible version will soon be released in the coming weeks, completing the set and enabling full cross-platform functionality. Allowing Media Composer users to submit render and transcode jobs FROM any Mac, or Windows system TO any Mac or Windows worker machines on their network. Distributed Processing enables production groups to repurpose those old workstations for faster turnaround times and non-creative background processing tasks.
