The Storage-Independent Bin Locking Solution for MacOS & Windows
With Osiris, Avid™ editors can easily collaborate on Media Composer projects in real-time. This lightweight client software offers Avid-style bin locking for both Windows and macOS clients, allowing users to work seamlessly on nearly any storage system. Osiris makes it easy for teams to collaborate on projects, ensuring that everyone is working from the most up-to-date versions of their media and projects. Whether you’re working on a small project or a major production, Osiris has you covered.
Project Sharing & Bin Locking
Are you familiar with the power of Media Composer’s bin-locking capabilities on Avid’s™ proprietary shared storage systems? If so, you’ll love Osiris! It enables multiple editors to open and work on the same Media Composer project simultaneously without having to worry about overwriting each other’s bins and sequences, making collaboration smooth and hassle-free.
Storage & Network Independent
Looking for an easy way to collaborate on Media Composer projects with your team while using your existing shared storage systems? Osiris has been designed to work with any NAS or SAN, making it easy to get started no matter where you store your media and projects. Working hybrid or in the cloud? Osiris integrates into LucidLink, making true cloud collaboration a breeze.
Workspace Management
Having all your media files pooled inside a single “Avid MediaFiles” folder can quickly become chaotic, making media management a difficult task. Osiris enables you to create purpose-driven workspaces to neatly separate projects from one another. This organization not only enhances your workflow efficiency but also ensures that your media assets are easily accessible and well-organized.
Present & Future Proof
Unless there is a very good technical reason to upgrade, most media production companies like to stick to a stable and proven combination of operating systems and Media Composer versions. Our commitment to backward compatibility empowers media production companies to maintain a consistent and efficient workflow, saving both time and resources in the process.
Perpetual Licensing Model
Buy it, own it! Osiris licensing system has been built to fit small production houses as well as large enterprises. Licenses are perpetual, meaning you don’t have to worry about expiring subscriptions. Licenses can be activated and utilized fully offline, allowing you to run Osiris in air-gapped environments while ensuring long-term accessibility.

Features & Workflow
Osiris provides “bin locking,” which lets multiple editors open and work on the same Media Composer project simultaneously. While one person edits a bin, others have read-only access—so you never have to worry about accidental overwrites or version conflicts. This is essential for high-paced, multi-editor post-production environments.
Osiris extends Avid’s native bin-locking capabilities beyond the local network by managing the lock files Avid Media Composer uses. When used with cloud-based storage, such as LucidLink, it ensures only one user at a time can write to a specific bin—preventing conflicts and data loss, and enabling your distributed team to work together as if you’re all in the same facility.
Yes. Osiris includes workspace management features that let you create purpose-driven workspaces. This allows you to separate each project into its own isolated area, rather than pooling everything into a single “Avid MediaFiles” folder. The result is cleaner, more efficient media management and less chaos for your editors and IT administrators.
Licensing & Support
No, Osiris uses a perpetual licensing model. Once you buy it, you own it—no ongoing subscriptions or renewals required. This gives your organization predictable, long-term control without budget uncertainty.
Absolutely. Osiris licenses can be activated and used in fully offline or air-gapped environments, making it a perfect fit for high-security productions where internet access may be limited or restricted.
Yes. Osiris is committed to backward compatibility, allowing your team to stick with tried-and-true configurations of OS and Media Composer versions. This means you don’t have to upgrade your core systems just to enable advanced collaboration.
