Dropbox Replay and Avid Media Composer

It is essential to make Dropbox Replay compatible with Avid Media Composer

 

Adobe Premiere Pro is very useful for small and medium productions. DaVinci resolve is mainly used for color grading. Sometimes in editing. But when it comes to large productions, involving multiple collaborations such as VFX and compositing houses, using softwares like Nuke or Silhouette, we enter a different league. They all, without exception, use the MXF file format. So far, MC is the only software that does not use linked files. Everything is imported into a specific folder, transcoded into MXF, separated from the sources, which makes it the most stable system in the world. A solid rock.

 

For all these reasons, I strongly suggest that Dropbox Replay include Avid Media Composer in the list of compatible editing softwares.

Thank you, guys!

    WoW!!!
    It took a while, but it's necessary for a suggestion to make its way to more people with the same needs. It's a great victory and my life will improve significantly now!
    Thanks to all the people who helped make this new tool possible.

    There's some confusion. I thought the integration was for Avid Media Composer editing software. But it seems that the integration is only for the Avid Pro Tools suite. Is work underway to integrate Dropbox Replay for Avid Media Composer?

    If you have a look at my screenshot in my earlier post, you'll notice an Avid Media Composer option, as well as an Avid Pro Tools option. 

     

    We now have the ability to import markers from Dropbox Repaly into both of these systems

    In fact, I see the Avid Media Composer option.
    I downloaded the desktop application on my Mac and it only wants to work with Pro Tools. So I guess your image comes from using it directly in the browser, right?
