Avid NAB 2007 Student Blog

What is createNOW?

It's a demonstration of real-world Avid workflows and technologies that enable digital storytellers to create and broadcast their stories anywhere, anytime. Brought to life inside a 10’x20’ glass enclosed studio at NAB 2007, Avid student representatives are using mobile phones, high def camcorders, laptop Media Composers, and portable audio gear to capture, edit, and share stories they discover around NAB. You can keep track of their stories right here at the createNOW blog.
