"Great for pros"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Media Composer?

I've been using Media Composer professionally for years and have loved the results I've gotten. There are a lot of really cool effects you can create using it as opposed to using After Effects. I found the interface to be intuitive and easy to use. Would definitely recommend it to a professional editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Media Composer?

I don't particularly care for the set-up of the interface when doing multi-camera editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Media Composer:

I wouldn't recommend this application to someone who's not a trained editor. It's a more application than what's needed for the average consumer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Media Composer solving and how is that benefiting you?

With proper utilization of Media Composer, as well as reasonably well-shot footage, you can minimize how much color correction is needed outside of the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
