With the latest version of Avid Media Composer, Flawless DeepEditor is now available as an extension, accessible directly from the Panels menu (or the Tools menu for versions of Avid between 2024.12 & 2025.11). Once Avid is launched, go to Panels › Flawless DeepEditor to open the extension inside your workspace.
To complete setup, you’ll need to download and install the Flawless DeepEditor Companion App, a lightweight helper application that establishes a secure web relay between Avid and DeepEditor’s online services. This ensures your workstation can upload media and download assets without interruption.
It is recommended that you close Avid Media Composer before undertaking the steps in this guide.
