Avid is working with Amazon MGM Studios to integrate Avid Media Composer and Nexis on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The collaboration is part of Amazon MGM Studios’ multi-year vision to transform global production and post-production workflows with scalable cloud-native solutions.

Amazon MGM Studios’ customers can now deploy Avid’s editing and storage solutions via the cloud to fit their specific production needs.

The deployment of Avid tools in AWS empowers distributed creative teams at Amazon MGM Studios, accelerating turnaround times while also cutting complexity.

The collaboration enables new editorial environments to be launched globally in minutes. This was demonstrated with a recent feature shooting in India, running dailies in Mumbai and completing editorial in London and Spain. This flexibility enables seamless editorial changes during production while supporting creative flexibility and international collaboration.

By leveraging this technology, production teams can maintain workflow continuity across borders, adapting swiftly to evolving creative customer needs, says Avid.

Amazon MGM Studios and Avid began collaborating three years ago and the launch of the Amazon MGM Studios integrations follows the unveiling of the Avid on AWS production framework at NAB 2025.

“Amazon MGM Studios’ continued relationship with Avid underscores our confidence in the role Avid Nexis and Avid Media Composer play in the cloud-powered post-production future,” said Raf Soltanovich, VP of technology, Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios. “Today, through the studio’s own offering with AWS, we can deploy Avid Nexis to our productions around the world in minutes, which helps us ensure we have best-in-class tools to support our productions.”

“We are meeting the pent-up demand of enterprise-class customers for a secure, scalable, and high-performance post-production solution on AWS,” adds Wellford Dillard, CEO at Avid. “Amazon MGM Studios’ integration of Avid Media Composer and Avid Nexis not only shows the critical role our technology continues to play in media production workflows, it also proves that cloud-native post-production is empowering successful creators everywhere, today.”
