Avid has announced an extended agreement with Amazon MGM Studios to integrate Media Composer and Avid NEXIS on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The new integration looks forward to enabling the studio’s customers to deploy Avid’s editing and storage solutions via the cloud to fit their specific production needs, as it has claimed in a statement.

Amazon MGM Studios and Avid began their collaboration three years ago. The launch of the Amazon MGM Studios integrations follows the unveiling of the Avid on AWS production framework at NAB Show 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”, explained 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”.

The collaboration has the objective of strengthening agility and efficiencies through cloud automation in AWS, enabling new editorial environments to be launched globally within minutes. This agility was demonstrated with a recent feature shooting in India, running dailies in Mumbai and completing editorial in London and Spain.

“We are meeting the pent-up demand of enterprise-class customers for a secure, scalable, and high-performance post-production solution on AWS”, added 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”.
