Avid has introduced Avid Huddle, a new SaaS solution designed to facilitate collaboration and expedite content review and approvals for post-production teams.
This solution is particularly beneficial in hybrid work environments.
Features and Benefits
Editors using Media Composer | Ultimate, Media Composer | Enterprise, or Avid | Edit On Demand can now easily share high-quality media during live Microsoft Teams meetings. Remote reviewers can collectively view, discuss, and comment in real time from any location, simulating an in-person experience.
Enhanced Collaboration
According to Tanya O’Connor, Avid VP of Market Solutions, collaborating to review video content during post-production is challenging when the creative team is distributed across multiple locations. Avid Huddle addresses this challenge by enabling distributed working and facilitating remote over-the-shoulder content review with any production stakeholder through Microsoft Teams.

Seamless Integration
Without leaving Media Composer, editors can use Avid Huddle to safely initiate a Teams meeting, allowing participants to review high-quality video content with the assurance that their content is secure and protected. Huddle enhances efficiency by allowing producers, clients, and other reviewers to provide immediate feedback to editors through time-stamped comments and annotations during live sessions.
Industry Impact
Simon Crownshaw, Microsoft Worldwide Media & Entertainment Strategy Director, highlights that Avid Huddle, utilizing the secure and widely available Microsoft Teams platform, revolutionizes the review and approval process for TV shows, movies, commercials, and other content. The solution provides an exceptional video and audio streaming experience, akin to an editor’s in-person work.

Efficiency and Flexibility
Avid Huddle eliminates the need to send content to multiple stakeholders and compile their input separately, thereby accelerating project delivery and saving time and money. The solution is available as a flexible monthly or annual subscription, allowing users to scale up or down as needed, paying only for what they require. Only the host needs an Avid Huddle subscription, while participants can join sessions via Microsoft Teams.
Avid Huddle is set to transform the post-production collaboration process, making it more efficient and streamlined for distributed teams.
