Automatic Duck’s Media Copy 2.0 Makes Multi-Platform Editing That Much Easier; Simplifies Moving Edit and Media Files Between Multiple Platforms

SEATTLE, WA (March 31, 2009) – Automatic Duck (www.automaticduck.com), the creators of timeline integration software for digital media artists, announced today it will debut an entirely new version of Media Copy, the popular tool originally designed for easily moving OMF media files between Avid editors and After Effects users. Completely re-built from the ground up, the newly released Media Copy 2.0 now adds AAF, OMF, MXF and Final Cut XML file support for editors who need to quickly move media files between their digital video systems. Automatic Duck will debut Media Copy 2.0 to customers in its booth #SL2529A – in the Plug In Pavilion – next month at NAB 2009 in Las Vegas.

“As Automatic Duck prepares for its 9th NAB, we realize that while so much has changed for digital video artists and editors, one thing remains constant – moving edited sequences and their media between systems is a chore,â€? said Wes Plate, president of Automatic Duck. “Our company was founded on the simple premise of simplifying the lives of editors who have to work between multiple platforms, and Media Copy 2.0 is our latest effort to reduce stress and make life just that much easier for our customers.â€?
