Building on a concept that originated in a garage in Massachusetts in 1987,
Avid has become the world leader in digital media creation tools for film, video,
audio, animation, games, and broadcast professionals – as well as for home video
and home audio enthusiasts.
Today, the vast majority of primetime television shows,
feature films, commercials, and chart-topping pop music hits are made using one
or more Avid products.
And the company has received the most prestigious awards
in the industries it serves – including three Emmys, a Grammy, and two Oscar statuettes:
the 1998 Scientific and Technical Award for the concept, design, and engineering of
the Avid Film Composer system for motion picture editing, and the 2003 Scientific
and Technical Award for the design, development, and implementation of
the Pro Tools digital audio workstation.
