Unwrapping Media Composer 2020.12
It’s time to celebrate the holidays and ring in the New Year with a gift you’ll be happy to receive!
Mix audio with ultimate speed and ease
With the new Audio Mixer, you can mix dialogue, sounds, and music faster and more easily than ever before. The modern channel strip layout is dynamically responsive, enabling controls to be displayed or hidden—based on your visibility priority—when you resize or reposition the Mixer window. You can also copy, paste, and move track effects to other slots, map fast menu items to your keyboard, and have always-present access to the Master fader to accelerate mixing tasks.
Decode and export H.265 content
Work directly with HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) video (aka H.265), which provides the same or higher level of image quality as AVC (H.264) but at up to a 50% smaller file size. That means you can open, link to, play, and edit H.265 video files captured by mobile phones, GoPro cameras, and other consumer devices directly in Media Composer. Plus, you can export H.265 media* too.
Create stunning titles and text more easily
Titler+ now includes two new modes—Text and Move—that make creating text of any kind much easier. Text mode enables you to click and type anywhere to create a text layer at that location and return to edit it at any time. Switch to Move mode and you can move the text layer and even change its attributes without fear of editing the text itself.
