What’s new in Avid Media Composer (etc.) version 7.0? Below are the highlights that took my attention:

- Cached Waveform Redraw
- Less clunky then, hopefully…
- Track Selection for Relink
- Background Queue monitoring, inside MC and from web browser
- Start/Stop/Pause Background Services
- Spanned Markers
- About time!
- Dynamic Media Folders
- FrameFlex: Reframing HiRes Media
- e.g. pan/crop/zoom parts of HD into an SD target, or 4/5K to HD etc.
- AMA Managed Media
- Prior to this, AMA was a bit of a “Cinderella”, not managed in the manner of Imported media.
- Audio Mixer Improvements
- Background Consolidate/Transcode
- Adjusting Audio Clip Gain in Timeline
- Consolidate/Transcode only AMA clips
- Color Management- for various camera types
- Sounds to me like LUTs and Looks…
