On the market since 1989, Avid Media's Composer software has long been a staple in the film and TV industries. Responsible for assisting in big name titles like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Martian, it’s safe to say that Avid Media includes just about everything a video editor could want (and then some). Features such as animatte, time warp, chromakey, keyframing and color correction just scratch the surface of what’s available with Composer. Utilizing numerous keyboard shortcuts, it’s quick and easy to make enhancements, find effects or adjust settings (you only have to select the first letter of whatever effect you want to implement).

If you’re using software like Composer, it’s a near certainty that you are working with many different types of files and media types. Fortunately, Avid offers a way to help automate and organize all your media with a feature called Dynamic Media Folders. This time-saving method can help manage hundreds or even thousands of different audio and video clips that ultimately come together as one. Once you’re done producing your project, Avid offers numerous methods to share it out to the world (however, there's no way to output to a DVD or Blu-ray disc).

And, you may want to import Blu-ray to Avid Media Composer to edit the Blu-ray movies. However, Media Composer does not support Blu-ray or DVD importing. Fortunately, there is an easy way to fix this issue. Let's find it out here.

Avid MC only accepts QuickTime movie files, .DV, .TNF, .AVI, .MP2 + .WAV, and sequential .TGA or .TIF, 2K, 4K, 5K film formats. To add Blu-ray movies to Avid Media Composer, you'll need to convert Blu-ray files to Media Composer compatible video format.

To perform the task smoothly, Brorsoft Blu-ray Ripper for Mac is highly recommended here.
