Avid’s latest innovations will help global teams work faster and more efficiently while preserving creative control and editorial trust.
At IBC2026, Avid will introduce native asset management capabilities, connecting media across customers’ own cloud and on-premises environments
Avid® will unveil how it is transforming production to help media organizations unite content, agentic workflows, and business insights at IBC2026 (RAI Amsterdam, September 11-14, Booth 7.B59). Spanning news and post production, Avid’s latest innovations will help global teams work faster and more efficiently while preserving creative control and editorial trust.
As media organizations continue to modernize operations while managing tighter budgets and increasing content demands, Avid is embedding enterprise-grade media intelligence and governed automation across its trusted ecosystem, enabling customers to speed up routine processes and gain greater visibility into the value of their content.
Continued expansion of Avid Content Core
At the heart of Avid’s IBC showcase is the award-winning Avid Content Core™, which, a year after its IBC2025 debut, continues to evolve as the intelligence layer connecting Avid’s agentic ecosystem across news and post production.
At IBC2026, Avid will introduce native asset management capabilities, connecting media across customers’ own cloud and on-premises environments – including Avid NEXIS®, AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure and other third-party storage, facilitating the ability to index, search, manage, and work with content wherever it resides. Beyond a traditional MAM, this connected media understanding provides the foundation for agentic automation to execute work within trusted production workflows, without requiring everything to be migrated into a single repository.
“It is exciting to see Avid Content Core expand and address the real opportunity of connecting the creative and operational sides of media with a clearer picture of how each piece of content is produced – and the value it creates,” said Wellford Dillard, Chief Executive Officer at Avid. “Avid Content Core is building that bridge, giving organizations the intelligence to understand how content is being created and the resources being used. This is a major step forward in enabling teams to tell their stories with deeper business insight and editorial trust – all from within the systems they already know and rely on.”
Visitors to IBC2026 will see Avid demonstrating how it is applying agentic media experiences across its portfolio to help teams create, collaborate, and deliver content more efficiently. Demos include:
News production – Connected planning, modern rundown, production, and publishing workflows across Avid Content Core, MediaCentral® and Wolftech News™, including story development, social publishing, and next-generation newsroom experiences that help teams deliver content faster across every platform.

Post production – Agentic editing experiences across Media Composer® and Avid Content Core that draw on Avid Content Core’s media intelligence, understanding media identity, location, metadata, and production context.
