PhraseFindAI Multicam Auto Cut

This looks pretty interesting for interviews, podcasts, panels, and other multi-cam projects. It can create an editable first pass based on who is speaking, giving you a starting point instead of having to do all that repetitive cutting manually.

Expanded Shared Projects

Enterprise is expanding supported Shared Projects workflows to more shared storage options, giving teams more flexibility beyond NEXIS.

Improved Transcript Tools

More control over editing and managing transcripts, including preserving the original transcript, reverting changes, splitting segments, and cleaning up speaker text.

Workflow Improvements

Things like Bin Column Search, Swap Audio Track from Subclip, and Titler+ Keyframe improvements should help with some of those everyday editing headaches.

OTIO, API & SDK Improvements

More options for interoperability, automation, and integrating Media Composer with other tools.

Media Composer First is UPGRADED! 

No more track or resolution limitations, making First a much more complete entry point for anyone wanting to learn Media Composer. Also, is important to note that MC First now does not have any project and media limitations so you an share between MC Ultimate and Enterprise and back to MC First for example.
