Case Study: Trollhunters achieves seamless animation editing and collaboration with Avid Technology

Behind the Scenes of Netflix’s Trollhunters

Trollhunters, Netflix’s animated series from Guillermo del Toro, faced the challenge of editing and shaping a fast-moving, highly complex production with evolving storylines, dense sound design, and heavy collaboration across the editorial team. The show relied on Avid Media Composer and related Avid tools to handle everything from animatics and sound builds to creative scene experimentation.

Avid Technology enabled the Trollhunters team to collaborate easily, cross-reference each other’s work, and make rapid changes with compositing, audio filters, and media management tools. The result was a smooth production process with no system failures over two years, even while working at high volume, and Avid helped push creative limits across the series.
