Gemini in Media Composer: A multimodal Gemini extension for Avid’s editing system enables intelligent metadata enhancement, automated logging, and B-Roll generation. Agentic Search and Discovery: Vertex AI and Gemini models across both platforms enable natural language search based on visual actions, dialogue, or emotional cues across media archives.
