This film had so many tones comedy, drama, action it's so hard to compartmentalize, said Jurgensen. One thing I really got into on this movie was Avid's automatic transcribing tool When you need to find just a word or a phrase you can search and find it in all the different takes. It saved me so much time.

The sound team behind F1: The Movie, which won the Oscar for Best Sound, used Avid Pro Tools workflows to craft an immersive racing experience that captured both the authenticity and excitement of Formula 1.

What makes F1 exciting is that it is the peak of motorsport racing. It is the top of the top, said Juan Peralta, re-recording mixer at Skywalker Sound. One of the edicts we got from the producers of this movie was to try to make it as authentic as possible We also were making a fun movie we want people to enjoy it and just be on for the ride.

For more than 30 years, the industry's leading editors, sound designers and postproduction teams have relied on Avid solutions to shape the stories that captivate audiences worldwide. Avid Media Composer has remained the industry's gold-standard editing platform, trusted by film and television editors to manage massive volumes of footage and refine storytelling with frame-accurate precision. Pro Tools continues to set the benchmark for professional audio production, enabling sound teams to design, edit and mix immersive soundscapes for the world's biggest films.

Together, these technologies support the creative pipelines used by the industry's most accomplished storytellers empowering them to bring their stories to life on screens around the world.
