Avid Media Composer is a video editing application or non-linear editing system (NLE) developed by Avid Technology. It was initially released in 1989 as an offline editing system on the Macintosh II. Since the 1990s, Media Composer has been the dominant non-linear editing system in the high-end film and television industry, allowing offline and online editing workflows, including up to 16K editing and finishing. Much of its design, implementation, and terminology is derived from the people and practices found in filmmaking and broadcast.
