Avid has announced the release of Pro Tools 2025.12, which introduces new mixing support with the UHD World Association’s (UWA) Audio Vivid, enhanced SoundFlow functionality with built-in Bounce Factory Lite, and new Inner Circle rewards from innovative plugin and content partners. The objective of these additions is to try to help creators accelerate routine tasks, as the company has cvlaimed in a statement.

Pro Tools now offers native support for Audio Vivid. Developed by the UWA, it is designed to give creators ability to position and move sound objects in three-dimensional space.

Pro Tools Studio and Ultimate users can access Audio Vivid via the Audio Vivid Production Suite, enabling direct mixing and rendering inside the Pro Tools session. With support for multiple immersive mixes in a single project, users can mix and edit in several formats and deliver for diverse applications – from film, TV and music, to home theaters and in-vehicle entertainment systems.

“This partnership marks a significant leap forward in the global adoption of our industry-first Audio Vivid standard”, affirms Vincent Zhang, Secretary General of the UHD World Association (UWA). “Together, we’re enabling creators to design immersive experiences faster and with greater fidelity, no matter where or how listeners engage with spatial audio content”.

“We’re closing out a milestone year by introducing even more capabilities to help users deliver exceptional spatial audio mixes”, adds Chris Winsor, Director of Product Management for Pro Tools, Avid. “There’s a growing need to support the widest range of immersive formats as personal listening devices and entertainment venues rapidly evolve. Our latest partnerships empower creators to meet the future of immersive audio – Audio Vivid marks another important step, empowering artists with a growing set of industry-leading tools to work faster and push creative boundaries”.

Bounce Factory

Bounce Factory by Andrew Scheps is now fully integrated with Pro Tools via SoundFlow. Available as Bounce Factory Lite, the tool appears directly in the Edit Window, giving every Pro Tools user instant access to the mix delivery workflows.

“Bounce Factory was born out of real-world audio engineering experience and has become one of the quickest ways to deliver audio mixes”, notes Winsor. “Bringing it directly into Pro Tools through SoundFlow makes perfect sense – it means our users can finish projects faster, with fewer clicks and complete confidence”.

New tools with Inner Circle

The Inner Circle program gives annual Pro Tools subscribers and perpetual license holders with active plans free access to plugins, sounds, and more. This release adds four new rewards from partners, which are:
