Foundry Releases Flix 6.1

Foundry has just released Flix 6.1 which facilitates improved collaboration between story and editorial departments, bringing a fast new workflow between Flix and Avid Media Composer. The team states that publishing from Flix to Media Composer is now done seamlessly.

What is more, it adds a new Project Migration Tool to transfer existing Flix 5 projects into Flix 6. “With Improved Export Preferences, assets can be much easier exported, named and organized into Flix at studio or show level. That means users and departments don’t have to worry about naming conventions and file location,” added the team.

You will also get the ability to filter highlighted panels, an Autosave feature, a ‘Starred Shows’ feature to pin favorite shows to the top of the projects list, and improved server monitoring tools for better performance diagnostics.

“With Flix 6.1, we’ve brought the editorial workflows Flix users love to Avid Media Composer in an even faster, simpler and more intuitive way, thanks to a fully AAF-based roundtrip. We’ve also added a lot of enhancements, both in the interface and under the hood, which should positively impact everyone in the creative, production and tech departments. We’re extremely excited for everyone to try this release, and look forward to introducing even more, including support for Storyboard Pro, in the coming months,” Brice Banel, Flix Product Manager said.
