Studio Network Solutions (SNS) confirmed EVO shared storage compatibility with Avid Media Composer 2026.8 Enterprise, including support for collaborative shared projects and bin locking.“Video editing platforms change constantly, and we’re always raising our compatibility standards so customers get the best workflow no matter which app they use for editing. We tested EVO with Media Composer 2026.8 Enterprise through the beta and public release, and we can say with confidence: EVO is compatible,” said Ryan Stoutenborough, president, SNS.

“At Avid, we believe production teams should have the freedom to choose what works best for them. In addition to supporting Avid NEXIS collaboration, Media Composer Enterprise 2026.8 expands support for additional shared storage platforms, like SNS EVO, enabling greater flexibility across different editing environments. We’re grateful to partners like SNS for testing these workflows ahead of release, to ensure a reliable collaboration experience. For EVO users, 2026.8 makes it easier than ever to collaborate while using the tools they already rely on,” said Rich Camp, principal product manager, media composer, Avid.
