EditShare, a specialist in cross-platform editing and shared media storage, has introduced technology that creates a single media file that can be used in both Avid and Final Cut Pro editing environments.
The Universal Media File technology works in conjunction with EditShare’s Flow Ingest, a multi-channel acquisition solution that captures in one format and simultaneously outputs to multiple formats. Using Flow, there’s no need to tie up ingest channels or create multiple files of the same media for use on different systems.
In the interface to EditShare’s ingest server, the user selects the universal file for the intended codec. The data remains pristine; none of the file data is compromised. Files produced in DV25, DV50, DVCPRO HD can be ingested as universal media files in EditShare. Additional formats such as IMX will be included in the future.
The Universal Media File technology is included with EditShare Flow, part of the company’s product line that provides a unified workflow solution for ingest, logging and browsing without requiring an Avid or Final Cut workstation.
EditShare Flow Ingest enables media capture in one format with simultaneous outputs to multiple formats including Apple ProRes, and Avid MXF, as well as proxy formats. Feature highlights include multi-channel ingest with independent control over each channel, full metadata capture, and edit-while-recording capabilities. Users can automate ingest, control ingest remotely, or initiate it manually.
The technology simplifies and accelerates media searches within the EditShare storage environment. Users can quickly locate media among hundreds of thousands of clips. EditShare Flow Browse supports proxy viewing outside the nonlinear editing application for optimal viewing on the EditShare Media Space, annotation of metadata forms, and the ability to drag and drop media into an Avid or Final Cut Pro bin.
