Pro Tools 2025.12 is now available, and delivers new immersive mixing support with the introduction of UHD World Association’s (UWA) Audio Vivid, enhanced SoundFlow functionality with built-in Bounce Factory Lite and new Inner Circle rewards from a selection of Avid’s plug-in and content partners.
Audio Vivid
Pro Tools now offers native support for Audio Vivid, the world’s first AI-powered immersive audio codec standard. Developed by the UWA, Audio Vivid gives creators the ability to precisely position and move sound objects in three-dimensional space, delivering immersive experiences while ensuring the mix translates accurately across a wide range of playback systems, from headphones to complex multi-speaker setups.
“This partnership marks a significant leap forward in the global adoption of our industry-first Audio Vivid standard. Together, we’re enabling creators to design immersive experiences faster and with greater fidelity, no matter where or how listeners engage with spatial audio content.” - Vincent Zhang, Secretary General, UHD World Association (UWA)
Pro Tools Studio and Ultimate users can access Audio Vivid via the Audio Vivid Production Suite, enabling direct mixing and rendering inside the Pro Tools session. With support for multiple immersive mixes in a single project, users can quickly mix and edit in several formats and deliver for diverse creative applications – from film, TV and music, to home theatres and in-vehicle entertainment systems.
“We’re closing out a milestone year by introducing even more capabilities to help users deliver exceptional spatial audio mixes. There’s a growing need to support the widest range of immersive formats as personal listening devices and entertainment venues rapidly evolve. Our latest partnerships empower creators to meet the future of immersive audio — Audio Vivid marks another important step, empowering artists with a growing set of industry-leading tools to work faster and push creative boundaries.” - Chris Winsor, Director of Product Management for Pro Tools, Avid
Bounce Factory
Bounce Factory by Andrew Scheps, is now fully integrated with Pro Tools via SoundFlow. Building on Avid’s partnership with SoundFlow, which was official integrated into Pro Tools earlier in 2025, the feature now offers some powerful export capabilities thanks to the addition of Bounce Factory by Andrew Scheps. Available as Bounce Factory Lite, the tool appears directly in Pro Tools’ Edit Window, providing users with instant access to the industry standard for bouncing mixes, stems and deliverables
