Highlights

Mimiq's seminal features that you won't find in any other product.

For remote and local teams

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 using locally shared storage? Add it to the mix too, for the perfect hybrid workflow.

Nexis coexistence

Simultaneously use any type of storage together with a NEXIS. You can use a NEXIS with a QNAP for instance, or go hybrid by adding LucidLink to the mix, or both - all at the same time. Put your bins on one, media on the other. Put your DNxHD on a slow NAS, and DNxHR on a fast one. The sky's the limit.

Mimiq is an incredible piece of software for Media Composer users, giving you complete freedom to use whatever shared storage system you prefer.

Mimiq’s features

All the things you no longer want to do without, once you've grown used to them.

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.

Workspaces

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.

Remote and hybrid teams

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.

Nexis Coexistence

Simultaneously use any type of storage together with a NEXIS. You can use a NEXIS with a QNAP for instance, or go hybrid by adding LucidLink to the mix, or both - all at the same time. Put your bins on one, media on the other. Put your DNxHD on a slow NAS, and DNxHR on a fast one. The sky's the limit.

All the locking… without the lock-in

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.

Up-to-date and future-proof

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.

Modern license management

Forget the rigid MAC address licenses of the old days. No need for a degree in IT to set up or move licenses. Through our License Manager, managing activations is dead easy now, with unlimited portability and even remote deactivations.

No setup fees or long-term contracts

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.

Wide version support

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.

Local License Server

For those Avid facilities that require air-gapping of their editorial suites, we have a special on-prem license server solution. Available for macOS, Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD, and paired with a Mimiq Pro license any facility can offer any level of required security. And yes, it's manageable via MDM.

Media Composer 2018 Support

Teams that have to continue using Media Composer 2018 are not left behind. A special version is available for use with 2018, which is also compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave.
