Create Immersive Mixes with Audio Vivid in Pro Tools

One of the most significant additions in Pro Tools 2025.12 is Audio Vivid support, marking a major step forward for immersive audio production.

What Is Audio Vivid?

Audio Vivid is the world’s first AI-powered audio codec standard designed for immersive sound creation. Developed by the UHD World Association (UWA), Audio Vivid allows creators to precisely position and move audio objects in three-dimensional space, while preserving creative intent across different playback environments.

This means your immersive mix translates consistently whether it’s heard in binaural headphones or complex multi-speaker setups.

Audio Vivid Production Suite in Pro Tools

With Pro Tools 2025.12:

• Pro Tools Studio and Pro Tools Ultimate users receive the Audio Vivid Production Suite
• You can mix and render Audio Vivid content directly inside your Pro Tools session
• Multiple immersive formats can exist in a single session
• Arrangement changes automatically propagate across all immersive mixes

For audio professionals working in immersive music, film, broadcast, or spatial audio workflows, this eliminates the need for external tools and streamlines delivery.
