Avid (Nasdaq: AVID), a leading global media technology provider for the creation, distribution and monetization of media assets for global media organizations, enterprise users and individual creative professionals, congratulates its customers recognized for their outstanding achievements at the 69th Annual Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the awards honor the best in primetime television, including the backstage crafts that are vital to their production.

Customers relied on Avid's comprehensive tools for media creation powered by MediaCentral , the industry's most open, tightly integrated and efficient platform designed for media, to create Emmy Award-winning and nominated productions, including Stranger Things, Westworld, The Night Of, Fargo, The Big Bang Theory and many more.

Every nominee in the Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Drama Series category, including winner Dean Zimmerman, ACE, Editor for Stranger Things, used the industry's foremost editing solution, Avid Media Composer .

It's an honor to win an Emmy award and be a part of such a phenomenal series, said Zimmerman. Stranger Things has so many layers and working parts within the storyline, and working with Media Composer has allowed me to be constantly creative and not have to worry about any limitations in the system.

Andrew Seklir, ACE, Editor, who was nominated for his work on HBO sci-fi hit Westworld, said, Having experimented with many different non-linear editors over the years, I've found that Avid Media Composer remains the most reliable, versatile and comprehensive editing platform available. Media Composer is my editing tool of choice, and the choice of most working professionals, because it gives editors what they need to express maximum creativity, while handling the technical backend seamlessly and reliably.

Every nominee in the Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour) category, including winners Keith Rogers, Scott Weber, Roger Stevenson, Kyle ONeal, for Westworld-and every nominee for Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) and Animation, including winners Andy DAddario, Gary Gegan, and Marco Fiumara, for Mozart in the Jungle-used Avid Pro Tools , the industry's foremost digital audio software, to bring the sounds of the nominated series to life.

We're extremely proud of our preeminent client and user community honored for their work at this year's Emmy awards, said Avid Chairman and CEO Louis Hernandez, Jr. The television industry's top creative professionals trust Avid's creative tools to bring their vision to every screen consumers use. We congratulate them and look forward to continuing to deliver innovations that help them tell their stories in more powerful ways.
