Media Composer | NewsCutter Option

Streamline your news editing to on-air workflow. With the Media Composer | NewsCutter Option—an add-on option for Media Composer perpetual licenses* and included with Media Composer | Ultimate—you can integrate your software directly with iNEWS and ENPS systems.

The option provides the full functionality of the NRCS (newsroom computer system) tool found in previous NewsCutter software (now discontinued), enabling you to view stories and rundowns, and edit video directly to scripts for the fastest turnarounds times. It’s an essential tool for editing breaking news.

Drop preselected text, based on iNEWS locaters, directly on the Media Composer timeline to speed story creation.
