eyeon Software Inc. announced today the shipping release of the highly-anticipated eyeon Connection® bridge to the AVID workflow. Strategically based upon AVID’s AVX2 architecture and eyeon’s 6.4 version release of Fusion™, Connection seamlessly opens the Media Composer®, Symphony™, NewsCutter®, and *Avid DS™ product lines to an infinite degree of creative possibilities.

Since Connection’s announcement at NAB 2012, the professional industry has seen an astounding response from the AVID community, including thousands of emails and forum posts:

“eyeon Fusion Connection AVX plug-in will lead to a better world of node-based compositing from within an Avid interface”

“ka-boom! the nle war escalates, between… fusion and smoke”

“We have used Digital Fusion for years and have always wished our Avid would work like it in the composite modes with the tools of Fusion. We are excited.”

“eyeon Connection. Things are getting very interesting”

“I will 100% be checking it out because this is the game changer I think everyone has been waiting for.”

“Really smart move by eyeon.”

“Fusion for Media Composer & Symphony is the big deal here.”

“It’s very exciting to consider the possibilities. Having text burst into flame then morph into a supermodel–Fusion would definitely be my weapon of choice.”

“Adding Fusion to Avid is somewhat like the ‘connectfx’ nodal possibilities within Smoke2013, but still retaining the editing capabilities of Avid (e.g. Multicam, Audio Scrub, VO punch-in, 5.1 audio, Trimming etc).”
