DJFio

MDVx free avid media composer softwareBlendx free avid media composer pluginFree transliteration software for avid media composer

DJFio (Valentin Kubyshkin) has developed these three marvelous and much-needed tools and plugins for Avid Media Composer.


MDV is a powerful media management tool that works at the file system level. Unlike the AVID's Media tool, MDV uses direct file and path access and allows you to organize and archive your media inside the complex, not always simply-named structure of AVID's media folders.

Blend-X is one of our favorites since it is the only free plugin that brings blending modes to Avid MC finally! The plugin is in Beta 8 with pretty stable results. Available for both Mac and Windows.

GdeYoZh (Russian for "where's the hedgehog") is a new tool that helps you transliterate filenames, which can help you exchange files abroad and avoid conflicts with avid import/export/link encoding issues.
It also can solve some encoding problems while exchanging AvidMediaFiles between Mac and Windows.

 

Shutter Encoder

Arguably the most powerful and feature-rich encoder/transcoder you can lay your hands on!

What's better is that Paul Pacifico (the developer) is offering it completely free of charge (donations are available to help the continuous development of this excellent software).
As video editors, we have used many professional applications throughout the years, and Shutter Encoder has become our go-to tool!
