BURLINGTON, Mass., Sept. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ® () congratulates its award-winning and nominated customers for their outstanding achievements at the 74th Annual Primetime Creative Arts Emmy® Awards, including Outstanding Drama and Comedy series winners Succession and Ted Lasso, respectively. Highlighting the trend of remote collaboration for his editing work using ® from New Zealand with Producer Peter Jackson, Jabez Olssen took home the award for Outstanding Picture Editing for A Nonfiction Program for The Beatles: Get Back.

This year’s nominees deserve an extra round of applause for their hard work in the most competitive Emmy Awards ever with submissions of scripted television series reaching record numbers this year.

HBO’s returning hit show, Barry, took home the Emmy for Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series, while also notching two other awards among its 14 Emmy nominations. Cutting on Avid Media Composer, Ali Greer, received her Emmy for “Starting Now”, the show’s riveting season three finale.

Finding the right balance of humor and drama is a challenging part of editing Barry but, with Avid’s ScriptSync®, shaping performances becomes much easier.”
