American Cinema Editors  (ACE) Board Honors Avid Media Composer with Its

First-Ever “ACE Technical Excellence Award” - Distinguishing It as the

Preferred Choice of Acclaimed Editors



Universal City, CA, July 7, 2009 �"�" American Cinema Editors (ACE) today

announced that the ACE Board of Directors has recognized Avid® Media Composer®

software with the Board’s first-ever “ACE Technical Excellence Award” -

recognizing it as the preferred choice of the industry’s most acclaimed

editors. This distinguished honor hails Avid’s unparalleled innovation, the

company’s commitment to working hand-in-hand with editors, and its role in

evolving the art of cinematic storytelling. The honorary award will be presented

to Avid at the 60th Annual ACE Eddie Awards in February 2010.



“Editors know that the art of filmmaking is as much about storytelling as it

is sharing a mutually-beneficial dialogue with other members in the industry.

Avid shares our passion and vision for nurturing the motion picture community

and the integral role that editors play in bringing entertainment to life,”

said ACE President Randy Roberts, A.C.E. “One of Avid’s unique

characteristics is the fact that many of its employees are also experienced

artists themselves, and so like us, they are obsessive about solving real

challenges that actually make a difference in the editing room. We appreciate

the company’s ongoing commitment to talk with us and to understand how we want

to improve the way we tell stories. The Board is pleased to distinguish Avid �"

and Media Composer �" with this first-ever mark of distinction.”



ACE Board member and Technology Committee Chair, Harry B. Miller III, A.C.E.,

added, “Avid has improved and adapted its editing software and hardware beyond

any competitor to meet the creative and practical needs of busy television and

motion picture editors. This includes creating a complete picture workflow with

Media Composer to Symphony™ and Avid DS; a post production sound workflow from

Media Composer to Pro Tools to the mix stage; FilmScribe™, which translates an

edited movie into its finished product; ScriptSync® which is a unique tool

linking a script with film dailies; Avid FX; AudioSuite™; the best

collaborative tools that link multiple editors on a single project; and the

continually improving, most user friendly, and adaptable interface in the

industry.”



“We’re honored to receive this recognition from ACE, whose members are among

the best storytellers in the business, and never cease to amaze audiences with

some of the most watched and most loved media in the world,” said Kirk Arnold,

EVP Customer Operations at Avid. “One of our long-standing principles is to

deliver products and solutions that help our customers achieve their creative

vision, however they define it. We are proud of our close relationship with ACE

and will continue striving to earn the ongoing trust and support of this

important community.”
