Case Study: IT Editor and Mixer achieves seamless picture and sound workflow with Avid Technology

IT Editor and Mixer Use Avid Creative Tools to Resurrect a Classic Horror Film

IT Editor and Mixer’s post-production team faced the challenge of bringing Stephen King’s *IT* to life while maintaining the film’s difficult tonal balance between horror, humor, and sensitivity. Using Avid Technology’s creative tools and workflow solutions, including Media Composer | Ultimate for editing, Pro Tools Ultimate, the Avid S6 console, and Avid shared storage, the team needed a reliable setup that could support intensive picture editing and sound mixing under tight deadlines.

Avid Technology helped streamline the entire workflow, enabling efficient collaboration across editorial, music, VFX, and sound teams. The team used Media Composer for cutting and Pro Tools for mix continuity, carrying temp dub automation into the final mix and even working natively in Dolby Atmos in Pro Tools 12.8. The result was a faster, more seamless post-production process with improved creative control and quick turnaround for screenings, helping deliver the film on schedule.
