Meet the Interplay Production Developer Moderators 

The Interplay Production Developer forum has seven employee moderators listed below including Avid's Customer Advocate who are online to provide their knowledge and experiences, answer questions, provide advice and share their passion with community members from across the world.  

In this forum, these moderators share their considerable knowledge and experience with the developer community  -- offering the best advice and direction possible on development of using API's.  While the team may not have the answers to all your questions, our moderators are here to help in any way they can and provide access to Avid.
