BURLINGTON, Mass., Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Full-service post-production facility ENVY has signed a multi-year subscription and support contract with media systems integrator Jigsaw24 Media to extend its relationship with Avid and supply its facilities with Avid's state-of-the-art video editing and storage capabilities.

The deal will provide ENVY's five London facilities with the latest Avid Media Composer | Enterprise video editing software and Avid NEXIS F-Series storage engines. It will enable ENVY editing teams to increase efficiency through powerful, time-saving AI-driven tools, collaborate from anywhere, and gain the flexibility to scale their offering as demand increases.

ENVY co-founder Natascha Cadle explains, Our technical setup is second to none, with our editors demanding leading-edge technology to power their creativity. Continuing our journey with Avid shows our commitment to providing our clients and editing teams with the industry's best and latest functionality.

ENVY Technical Operations Director Jai Cave adds, We are thrilled to continue our long-term relationship with Avid, who have been a great partner since ENVY started. Avid's unwavering commitment to the professional market and their long-term technical strategy gave us the confidence to sign a multi-year deal. We look forward to continuing to work with the Avid team.

Avid Media Composer | Enterprise enables post-production and broadcast teams to increase efficiency through a streamlined, user-centric experience.
