What’s New in Avid PostDeko for Editors version 8.2?

Avid PostDeko for Editors is an AVX2 plugin that provides full Deko Graphic and Motion creation tools for Avid Media Composer, NewsCutter and Symphony editors. This allows existing Deko broadcast customers to create one set of graphics and effects for use both on-air and in the edit suites. It reduces production time, maintains a consistent look for live and post and cuts down on recreation and transfer time.

PostDeko for Editors Version 8.2 enhances the real-time playback of Deko effects from the Avid editor and provides support for Deko version 5.2 capabilities.

Real Time “Green Dot” Preview of Deko Effects

PostDeko for Editors effects are now “Green Dot” status on the Avid editor timeline, which means that Editors can insert graphic and animations to the edit timeline and view a real-time preview* of the assets without having to render the full timeline. This saves a lot of time in the edit process and allows graphic assets to be a more dynamic component of the edit.

Usability Improvements

PostDeko for Editors users now have faster access to a Graphic Properties menu in the software for obtaining quick data on the components of the graphics.

Deko version 5.2 Compatibility

Exciting Deko-signature effects created in the online Deko system can be easily shared with PostDeko for Editors in the edit suite, enabling greater consistency of look and eliminating duplication of effort. PostDeko for Editors supports the following Deko 5.2 capability:

  • Glow-Glint Motion Behaviors. Remove time and effort when creating eye-catching animations. No complex Motion key frames. Just push-button access to inserting character Glows and Glints to text and images – regardless of the format or character count.

    Deko users simply choose “Glow” or “Glint” from the Motion Behavior menu to easily implement this look across real-time, animating text. The effect applies automatically, regardless of changes to the character count.
