### "Stuck in time, hard to learn editing software" — 3.0/5

> **Markus** | *30 November 2024* | Music | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's a solid editing choice for editors who need to collaborate.
> 
> **Cons**: Despite a somewhat revamped user interface and the introduction of more modern drag-and-drop editing tools, the software feels stuck in time and like a relic from a past era.
> 
> As every editor of a certain age, I had to start editing with Avid Media Composer. Back then it was the only choice. Along came Apple's Final Cut Pro in the early 2000s introducing more modern drag-and-drop tools that opened up the world of editing to a younger generation. Media Composer has its fans and most users in the professional long-form media world or film and television, that's notoriously reluctant to change anything. That was a blessing and a curse for the software as it is now somewhat outdated and unnecessarily difficult to learn.

### "The best editing software IMHO" — 4.0/5

> **Angelo** | *27 November 2023* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The detachable modules of the interface let you set on the main screen what is likely to be used more often while set on secondary monitor or in background other less used modules.  I also like the possibility to assign almost al features to a key in the keyboard and have your custom shortcuts in a breeze and visual interface.
> 
> **Cons**: The price and the need to be online to edit, at least this was my latest experience and it's not nice to be linked to an internet connection, because you can be fried if that day your provider is out of work.
> 
> I started to use it in 2004, and at the time switching from Adobe Premiere I was a bit lost at first when I ran Avid Media Composer. At very beginning the UI can frighten user because it's not intuitive at all but after a few hours and experienced video editor can understand how to start editing. Then I liked for instance the effects mode on the  timeline that you can decide which side of a transition should be longer than other without have to worried of making calculations, such as the case of DaVinci Resolve. Besides I found a very useful feature the color correction and it was very easy to use or at least I learnt it quickly and used to fix some shootings of my several documentaries I produced since then. The audio section was lacking a little bit special effects and of course to get better results should use Pro Tools but in it's simplicity it worked fine for my need.

A veces tengo que convertir los archivos antes de poder trabajar con ellos, lo cual puede ser una molestia.Otra cosa que no me gusta es que no viene con una gran cantidad de plantillas o ejemplos pre-construidos.

### "Freelance User" — 5.0/5

> **Claire** | *25 July 2022* | Music | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it is the industry standard, I feel that when I use it, I can easily send a session or file to another audio engineer, and we will both be able to access it. It also is the only DAW used at my local recording studio.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't love that there are some functions that don't feel particularly intuitive. I am learning more and more every time I use it, but I mostly have to look up tutorials. I am fluent in Logic Pro X, and I wish I was able to figure things out by doing more easily.
