There is a great article over at EditBlog on some tweets from this weeks AVID Media Composer Committed to Professionals event held at Warner Bros.
There is some pretty amazing stuff here. LiveToEdit tweets:
3D, 7.1, new U.I., Kona, Decklink, Matrox, Bluefish support coming soon
and
3rd party I/O: no announcements, other than ‘we’re working with them for the future’
and
80% of pro systems are Avid, 50% of #Avid employees used to be in production
And even cooler
future is 64bit, new interface, WILL NOT lose known features, keyboard short cuts, etc.
And @comebackshane has this interesting tidbit.
Third party hardware support (Matrox, AJA, BMD, MOTU)…Plugin support from more vendors (Red Giant)…external control surfaces… #avid
And thanks to Pietari Creative for this awesome pic of the possible AVID Media Composer 64 Bit Interface.

Pretty amazing news, though no timeline given. Still I love the look of the new interface, especially if is fully 64 bit, and does not lose all the features of previous AVID (see it can be done Apple).
And Black Magic and AJA support is huge, as is Red Giant Support, does that mean we may be getting Collorista 2 for AVID soon? Awesome.
It can’t come soon enough!
