Avid Technology is the world leader in digital non-linear media creation, management, and distribution solutions, enabling film, video, audio, animation, games and broadcast professionals to work more efficiently, productively and creatively. If you enjoy movies, television, music, videogames, or virtually any other form of electronic media, you have almost certainly experienced the work of the legions of content creators who use Avid solutions to bring their creative visions to life.

Avid systems, from desktop editing to complete Avid editing workflows, allow the user to work with many popular formats. Today, most of what we see and hear is made using one or more Avid products. And the company has received the most prestigious awards in the industries it serves - including three Emmys, a Grammy, and two Oscar statuettes: the 1998 Scientific and Technical Award for the concept, design, and engineering of the Avid Film Composer system for motion picture editing, and the 2003 Scientific and Technical Award for the design, development, and implementation of the Pro Tools digital audio workstation. That spirit of innovation continues to this day, with increasingly powerful, integrated solutions that reflect Avid's dedication to quality, and its longstanding commitment to empowering the creativity behind the world's most widely recognised media.
