We're extremely proud of all our amazing community and we delight in every opportunity to celebrate them. Their accolades inspire us to keep innovating to continuously elevate the craft of storytelling.

Film and television editors have trusted Avid for more than 30 years to achieve excellence in their craft. Ever since its trailblazing launch, Avid Media Composer has been consistently recognized as the industry's top video editing system. The Academy first awarded an Oscar for Best Editing to an Avid user in 1996. Then in 1999, Avid itself received an Oscar for the concept, system design and engineering of Media Composer (then known as the Avid Film Composer) for motion picture editing. Further recognition from the Academy for Avid's creative tools came in 2004 when the business received an Oscar for pioneering creative tools for audio postproduction with Avid Pro Tools .

The Oscar recognition for Oppenheimer, Lame and G ransson follows their success at last months BAFTA Film Awards in London - where Oppenheimer won Best Film, Lame picked up the Best Editing award and G ransson won for Best Original Score, eliciting further congratulations from the Avid team.
