Avid and Amazon MGM Studios have extended an agreement to integrate Avid’s Media Composer and Avid NEXIS, on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The new integration enables the studio’s customers to deploy Avid’s editing and storage solutions via the cloud to fit their specific production needs.

The collaboration is part of Amazon MGM Studios’ multi-year vision to transform global production and post-production workflows with scalable cloud-native solutions.

Amazon MGM Studios and Avid began a strategic collaboration three years ago that will continue as the companies explore ways to integrate other Avid tools via the cloud.

The launch of the Amazon MGM Studios integrations follows the unveiling of the Avid on AWS production framework earlier this year. The Avid tools help power Amazon MGM Studios’ adoption of advanced, cloud-based post-production workflows on AWS to support increasing demand across the media sector for global, agile and efficient creative tools that can be used anywhere, anytime.

Raf Soltanovich, VP of Technology, Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios said: “Today, through the Studio’s own offering with AWS, we can deploy Avid NEXIS to our productions around the world in minutes, which helps us ensure we have best-in-class tools to support our productions.”

A recent feature was shooting in India, running dailies in Mumbai and completing editorial in London and Spain.
