Staying Avid-ly ahead of the mix

Posted on Feb 20, 2026 by Pro Moviemaker

Avid has announced a series of faster and more connected audio workflows built for modern film and television production, with a particular focus on immersive formats, AI-assisted efficiency and deeper ecosystem integration

At the core of the updates by Avid is expanded, immersive audio support in the latest version of Pro Tools, so that it now enables workflows across Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio and UWA Audio Vivid within a single session. For productions working with multiple formats, it streamlines delivery and reduces time spent managing parallel sessions. 

Pro Tools now includes AI-enhanced speech-to-text analysis for faster dialogue navigation, alongside Sound Flow macro support to automate repetitive tasks. These tools are specifically designed to accelerate workflows without removing creative control.

Avid has also expanded its integrated partner ecosystem, allowing third-party tools and libraries to work more natively inside Pro Tools. For filmmakers, this means fewer context switches between apps and faster access to sound libraries, instruments and processing tools during editorial and mix stages.
