Bring your own storage
Freedom of choice on storage is at the core of Mimiq’s functionality. Run your choice of third party NAS in Media Composer, mix and match vendors, and if you're on a Pro license you can add your NEXIS to the mix.

Great workflows start with great apps
Mimiq brings freedom of choice to Media Composer users.
Bin Locking for Mac, for Windows, and any type of storage.
Bin locking is a simple concept: it stops others from overwriting your files while you're working on them. It allows editors to collaborate, and was introduced by Avid in Media Composer.
With the bin you're working in locked, no-one else can get in to your edit. When you're done, the bins are unlocked, so others can add to or modify your work.
Sounds simple, but not if you want to use third-party storage for your Avid. Mimiq changes all of that.
Until Mimiq, the only way to work collaboratively with other Media Composer editors was through expensive proprietary hardware. There was no way to use the plethora of third-party storage available to everyone at sensible prices.
Now, anyone can set up a collaborative editing workflow for Media Composer.
"Mimiq is an incredible piece of software for Media Composer users, giving you complete freedom to use whatever shared storage system you prefer."
Freedom of choice on storage is at the core of Mimiq’s functionality. Run your choice of third party NAS in Media Composer, mix and match vendors, and if you're on a Pro license you can add your NEXIS to the mix.
Turn any type of block storage into a Media Composer-compatible volume. For SAN, RAID, and even your internal SSD. Remote workflow? Sync your media with your favorite tool or service, and let Mimiq manage the Workspaces for complete control of your volume names and paths.
Supercharge your Media Composer workflow with Mimiq Pro and LucidLink. Whether you and your team work on-prem or remote, with LucidLink's Filespaces it's a seemless transition. Already have invested in local shared storage? Add it to the mix too, for the perfect hybrid workflow.
Working collaboratively shouldn’t require constant communication to avoid conflicts. Mimiq allows editors to easily understand the locked or refreshed status of bins they're working with, whether they're working together on locally attached storage or remotely via the cloud.
As with all Hedge apps, Mimiq has separate dedicated technology for both macOS and Windows, making sure you get the best experience whether you're on Mac or Windows. And yes, that includes native Apple silicon support — an industry exclusive. Best of all, we even offer a special Mimiq for Mojave build.
Forget the rigid MAC address licenses of the old Mimiq. No need for a degree in IT to set up or move licenses. Through our License Manager, it's dead easy now, with unlimited portability and even remote deactivations.
Because Mimiq is not a subscription, pricing is very flexible. No need for a support contract, there are no monthly fees, and the 10-day trial ensures you know Mimiq will work for you and your team before spending a dime. Best of all: adding more people to your team doesn't break the bank.
No editor likes upgrading their Media Composer if it can be avoided. That's why we are on par with Avid, supporting all versions of Media Composer that Avid supports (plus Media Composer 2018), an even wider range of macOS versions, and of course both Windows 10 and 11.
A Mimiq license is perpetual, works on both Mac and Windows, and includes a year of updates and support.
Use our special Mimiq for Mojave app together with a Mimiq Pro license.
