Case Study: Star Citizen achieves seamless cinematic game editing with Avid Technology

Avid Powers Star Citizen Squadron 42's Galactic Editing

Star Citizen, the massive crowd-funded game from Cloud Imperium Games and Foundry 42, needed a way to manage an exceptionally complex performance-capture and cinematic editing workflow for Squadron 42. With hundreds of scenes, multiple studios, and huge volumes of dialogue, animation, and footage to organize, the team needed a solution that could keep the production moving smoothly.

Avid Technology provided the answer with Avid Everywhere, powered by the Avid MediaCentral platform, along with Media Composer, Pro Tools, and NEXIS storage. Using Avid Technology, the team built a seamless collaborative pipeline across four studios, improved syncing and turnover, and managed about 14,500 files with much greater efficiency while keeping performance and audio perfectly aligned.
