MediaReactor Lite for Avid
MediaReactor Lite is a direct AMA plugin version of Drastic's MediaReactor file translation system. No transcoding step is required to work directly in Avid with camera raw formats, Sony XAVC-S, Panasonic 10 Bit MP4, and MOV without needing QuickTime. The plugin also lets you output to MOV/MP4 files, including ProRes and XAVC-S. MediaReactor Lite works within Avid Media Composer and any other plugin compatible Avid product.
