leading professional editing systems today deliver new levels of openness, performance, collaboration and
productivity—enabling independent professionals, post-production houses, broadcasters and all media companies to get
their work done faster, work together on projects more effectively and reduce costs through greater productivity.

New in Avid Media Composer 7.0.3 and NewsCutter 11.0.3

- Windows 8.1 is approved as Operating System for Media Composer 7.0.3. But no need to worry, Windows 7 and Windows 8
are still supported!
- To help organize the effects in the Effects Palette, the video and audio effects are now displayed under the
applicable tab. To access video effects, click the Video tab in the Effect Palette. To access the audio effects, click
the Audio tab.
- Use frame blending in Motion Adapters: When clips of a different frame rate than the sequence are dropped on the
Timeline, a motion adapter is automatically applied. Motion Adapter effects allow mixed rate clips to play at the
project’s frame rate and to have the correct field motion.
- The frame blending setting will give you some flexibility with mixed-rate media by offering a choice between
temporal smoothness and spatial smoothness. It controls whether or not any new motion adapters use the Blended
Interpolated render option.
- When this option is selected, the Blended Interpolated mode is used. The behavior is the same as previous versions
of Media Composer, and uses Blended Interpolated for most motion adapters. When it is not selected, the Interpolated
Field mode is used for interlaced clips, and Both Fields mode is used for progressive clips.
- The Nvidia Drivers supported with this release are:
320.78 – for use with Windows 7 and Windows 8 systems.
331.65 – for use with Windows 8.1 systems.
- The following shortcuts have been added when working with Spanned Markers in Media Composer 7.0.3:
Alt+ Mark Markers button: If within a spanned marker, markers are applied to the spanned marker’s range.
Shift + Alt + Mark Markers button: (NewsCutter only) If within a spanned marker, audio markers are applied to the
spanned marker’s range.
- Previously, Sound TC was only supported at SD video rates (25 or 30). Historically, sound recording devices
generally worked at 30 or 25 based timecode. Now that most 23 or 24 rate production uses 24 based timecode we have
added support for this timecode rate for 23 or 24 based projects. There are two main ways to enter Sound TC into the
editing application: ALE import and manual bin entry.
- When files are placed in a Dynamic Media Folder, you will see a progress indicator in the Timeline that indicates
the progress of the background progress. The icon colors have been updated.
- New Proxy Video Resolutions have been added for importing or transcoding media in MC 7.0.3 . These were already
available in ISIS/Interplay environments, but are now also available within Media Composer stand-alone licenses. The
proxy resolutions are available for all media creation except Capture.
- A new “Link To Effects Mixdown” export setting allows you to mix down both audio and video effects so that the
exported AAF references only master clips. This might be useful for workflows with third party applications want to
link to the exportedAAF media for further encoding.
- The responsiveness of the Avid Artist Color Controller has been improved with this editing application release.
