Avid (Nasdaq:AVID) today announced the return of PhraseFind and ScriptSync options for Avid Media Composer , the industry's preeminent nonlinear editing solution, giving video professionals the powerful tools and accelerated creative workflows they need to create high-quality, engaging and immersive content more efficiently. The launch of new, enhanced versions of PhraseFind and ScriptSync delivers on Avid's commitment to offering the most comprehensive tools and workflow solutions to create, distribute and optimize media on the MediaCentral Platform, the industry's most open, tightly integrated and efficient platform designed for media.
Avid is launching enhanced versions of PhraseFind and ScriptSync following its agreement to exclusively license Nexidia's Emmy Award-winning media and entertainment technologies and solutions. The new versions are a direct result of Avid listening to its preeminent customer community through the Avid Customer Association, giving them the powerful tools they need to deliver high-quality content. The new versions of PhraseFind and ScriptSync will enable Media Composer users to use the tools for phonetic indexing and search and working with scripted material with the latest version of Media Composer.
Emmy Award-winning editor, Stuart Bass, ACE (The Office, Arrested Development, Pushing Daisies) said: ScriptSync has changed the way I edit. The phonetic indexing tool saves me about 15 hours a week. It speeds up the process and helps me be more efficient with my time, so that I can be focused on the creative part of editing.
Our agreement with Nexidia has enabled us to not only bring back the popular PhraseFind and ScriptSync tools for Media Composer, but also deliver enhanced versions that give video professionals the fast, efficient creative workflows they need to create engaging content and deliver projects on time, said Dana Ruzicka, vice president and chief product officer, Avid. As we continue to integrate Nexidia's media and entertainment technologies and solutions into MediaCentral, we look forward to delivering more innovations that optimize content production workflow efficiencies.
Media Composer | PhraseFind Option's powerful automatic phonetic indexing of media enables video professionals to quickly and easily find the media they need by searching for spoken words and phrases. It saves users valuable time by delivering fast search results and eliminating the need to review and log hundreds of hours of material to find what they need.
