 Configuration

Media Composer primarily utilities 6-10 cores for the most editing tasks however more cores are necessary when editing 4K UHD or higher resolutions. The 'Basic' specification is designed for AVID users primarily working with 1080p HD projects and experimenting with small 2K projects. The basic build features a fully certified setup ensuring you have access to AVID support.

The 'Intermediate' workstation is suitable for 2K & 4K UHD work however workflows consisting of mainly large UHD 5994 4 stream XAVC projects and higher resolutions the 'Expert' specification is recommended. The Expert configuration features a fully certified Media Composer build to ensure you have access to AVID support when you need it.

Our 'Render Optimised' workstation is designed for mostly transcoding/rendering work, the Expert Workstation will ultimately deliver better performance whilst used for only editing whilst the render optimised system will deliver improved render times due to the increased core and RAM count. Further information on what is required for certain tasks can be found on AVID's knowledge base here alternatively you read our full Media Composer buying guide.

We recommend having two drives which provides the best performance:

  • 1. Primary Drive: SSD for the operating system and software
  • 2. Secondary Drive: Another SSD for active project files.
  • 3. Tertiary Drive: A third Internal/external Hard Drive (HDD) device can be used to minimize usage of second SSD for archived projects.
