Amazon MGM Studios and Avid extend cloud production deal
Amazon MGM Studios and Avid began a strategic collaboration three years ago that will continue as the companies explore ways to integrate other Avid tools via the cloud. Avid has announced an expanded agreement with Amazon MGM Studios to integrate its leading creative tools—Media Composer and Avid NEXIS—into Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing the studio's productions to leverage cloud-based editing and storage solutions tailored to their specific needs. The partnership marks a significant step in Amazon MGM Studios' long-term strategy to transform global production and post-production workflows using scalable, cloud-native technologies. The extended collaboration builds on a relationship that began three years ago, as both companies continue exploring opportunities to bring more Avid tools to the cloud. The integration follows the recent unveiling of the Avid on AWS production framework at NAB Show 2025, reinforcing Avid's role in powering modern, agile post-production environments Raf Soltanovich, VP of Technology, Prime Video & Amazon MGM Studios, said: 'Amazon MGM Studios' continued relationship with Avid underscores our confidence in the role Avid NEXIS and Avid Media Composer play in the cloud-powered post-production future. Today, through the Studio's own offering with AWS, we can deploy Avid NEXIS to our productions around the world in minutes, which helps us ensure we have best-in-class tools to support our productions.' The integration allows Amazon MGM Studios to enhance global collaboration, enabling distributed teams to work faster and more efficiently using flexible, software-defined workflows. A recent feature film project illustrated this capability, with dailies processed in Mumbai and editorial completed between London and Spain—showcasing seamless, cross-border collaboration and the ability to make editorial adjustments in real-time during production. The cloud automation enabled by AWS significantly reduces turnaround time, streamlining post-production operations while maintaining creative control. By deploying Avid's tools across international locations, the studio meets increasing industry demand for accessible, high-performance editing environments that function beyond traditional studio confines. Wellford Dillard, CEO at Avid, added: 'We are meeting the pent-up demand of enterprise-class customers for a secure, scalable, and high-performance post-production solution on AWS,' said . 'Amazon MGM Studios' integration of Avid Media Composer and Avid NEXIS not only shows the critical role our technology continues to play in media production workflows, it also proves that cloud-native post-production is empowering successful creators everywhere, today.' The successful deployment of Avid Media Composer and NEXIS for Amazon MGM Studios via AWS demonstrates the impact of Avid's open and integrated cloud workflows, providing a blueprint for future studios seeking to modernize content creation while meeting the creative demands of global production teams.
