WHAT IS THE WEST ONE MUSIC PANEL?

We’re excited to announce the launch of the new West One Music panel in Avid Media Composer! Our music catalogue is now available in Avid Media Composer, and we’re proud to be one of the first production music companies to offer this.

All features available:
- ASK AI / FIND SIMILAR AI / PLAYLIST AI
- Advanced Search

- Cue sheet downloads
- Downloading & importing into Media Composer bins.
- Learn more about our search tools here.

You can watch a quick demo of how to install the West One Music plugin in Media Composer below.

Please note that for Avid Media Composer to work, you will need MC Ultimate or Enterprise editions, version 2024.2 and later. You can manually install the .AVPI plugin by moving it to the appropriate directory on your system:

Windows – %ProgramData%\Avid\PanelSDKPlugins

macOS – /Library/Application Support/Avid/PanelSDKPlugins

The team is available to help, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to schedule a demo with our team or if you need further assistance with accessing the plugin.

You can also add all of your search terms into the panel at once and click any ‘+’.
You can use advanced search whenever you like during your search journey (e.g. if you start off selecting a genre from the ‘discover’ tab you can then apply advanced search.

Once the bins are in your project, you can search the embedded metadata for a specific keyword, genre or mood. Please ensure you type in the exact match you are looking for. Please note: Avid searches the “Name” column by default, so to enable full metadata search, go to File > Settings > User > Bin and change the setting to “Search all Columns.”
