The ESION Studio extension brings enterprise-grade AI audio processing directly into the Avid Media Composer timeline, built for video editors working in demanding post-production environments.

The extension is purpose-built for editorial workflows under pressure, whether you are cutting a feature film, a docuseries or episodic content, and works seamlessly integrated directly in the Media Composer timeline. It automatically measures audio before and after processing, reduces hum, hiss and ambient distractions without compromising vocal clarity, balances inconsistent dialogue levels and normalises loudness to broadcast standards such as EBU R128 and ATSC A/85. Filler word removal, timestamped AI transcription and delivery-ready output complete the package; up to 24 channels of audio can be processed at once, and all AI processing runs locally on your computer rather than in the cloud.
