Avid's Media Composer 2026.8 What's New (31 Aug 2026) documents PhraseFind Multicam Auto Cut (camera switching from speaker assignments in PhraseFind AI transcripts) and Transcript Tool versioning (the original AI transcript is kept and edits stored separately). The 2026.8 ReadMe says the Transcript Tool needs an active PhraseFind AI option (ScriptSync AI alone excludes it) and that indexing runs in the background and is resource intensive. The only language statement found is the 2023 press release (21 languages for automatic detection, initial). No inspected Avid document says whether transcription is on-device or cloud; the 43 MB Editing Guide could not be fetched under the 25 MB rule.
