Avid Media Composer is a video editing application or non-linear editing software solution (NLE) developed by Avid Technology. Since its initial adoption in the 1990s, Media Composer has become the dominant non-linear editing system used by Hollywood film studios, broadcast television networks, and streaming service productions.
Media Composer is the top NLE used by the world's elite editors in Hollywood films, in broadcast television, in documentary and unscripted narrative, so is often referred to as the industry standard for video editing. Much of its design, implementation, and terminology has been derived from workflows in these filmmaking and broadcast industries.
