Avid

Avid has come a long way since we first started renting out their Avid Media Composer 1000 systems back in 1999. We carry a wide range of Avid systems and storage solutions and can cater for most film, television and broadcast projects.

Video Europe has grown to become one of the largest hirers of Avid systems in Europe, with over 70 systems available to rent. Our bookings team has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to hiring Avid products and our engineers are fully ACSR qualified.
