On 22 December 2014 Avid announced that the latest version of Avid Media Composer software, which allows video professionals to acquire, manage, edit, and deliver native 4K and other high-res media faster and more efficiently, is now available.

This new release helps content creators deliver higher quality content in more collaborative, powerful, and efficient ways a key part of Avid Everywhere . Leveraging the Avid MediaCentral Platform, Media Composer is part of the Avid Artist Suite of creative tools.

Avid Resolution Independence provides a holistic, platform-centric approach that puts no limits to the resolutions customers can capture, edit, and output. Media professionals can work with the broadest variety of media in every resolution SD, HD, 4K and beyond using their existing infrastructure.
