Now software-only, open, and faster than ever

You’re going places—literally and figuratively. Having the right video editing and finishing tools that move with you is crucial. That’s why we broke Symphony Nitris DX apart, so you can work wherever and however you please. Symphony 6 is now available in a software-only version, giving you a cost-effective, highly versatile solution that works with your existing hardware. For better performance, bundle it with an Avid video interface or get the complete Symphony System. Plus, you get many exciting new features and workflows that professionals like you asked for.
