Announces the Addition of Apple Final Cut Pro Project Sharing
to the EditShare Product Family
First to deliver Project Sharing workflows
for both Apple and Avid editing systems
EditShare has announced the addition of Apple
Final Cut Pro (FCP) Project Sharing capabilities to the EditShare
product family. Deployed first for Avid systems and editors,
the widely popular EditShare Project Sharing technology provides
tremendous collaborative workflow benefits by enabling multiple
editors to work on the same project simultaneously. EditShare
is the only collaborative workflow and shared storage solution
to offer project sharing for Apple FCP and Avid editing systems.
"EditShare is more than shared storage -
it is workflow and collaboration tools for creative teams,"
comments Andy Liebman, founder and president, EditShare. "We
design and develop solutions customized for the creative post
process. Innovative features such as Final Cut Pro and Avid
Project Sharing are perfect examples of unique benefits the
EditShare workflow offers. They reinforce our commitment in
delivering the very best collaborative solutions for creative
environments."
For the first time, Apple FCP editors can enjoy
the same tremendous collaborative workflow benefits that previously
were only available to Avid editors. The new EditShare Apple
FCP Project Sharing feature allows multiple Apple FCP editors
to simultaneously open up and work from the same projects. EditShare
Project Sharing is seamless, eliminating time consuming exporting
and importing of XML files and duplication of FCP project files.
As with all EditShare systems, the rights management and rules
driven architecture allow administrators to pre-define user
access and prevent overwrites, further enhancing the overall
exchange of media and creative workflow across all post environments.
* An assistant editor can digitize clips, organize
into subclips while the senior editor simultaneously reviews
the material
* Journalists can assemble stories and the journalist
can review the packages in progress - extracting clips and sound
bytes to create the promo
* Editors working on a reality show can share
the same "master clips" and "subclips" without
duplicating media files or projects. The executive producer
can preview a sequence at his desk while editing of the sequence
continues
The EditShare Project Sharing functionality for
Apple FCP will ship as part of the EditShare 5.0 standard feature
set in Q3 2007. Existing EditShare 5.0 customers will be provided
an update with the new Apple FCP Project Sharing feature free
of charge.
