Avid MediaCentral | Editorial Management: Collaboration on a Budget

Accelerate post production! Through Avid's unique HyperBin architecture, MediaCentral | Editorial Management delivers enhanced collaborative capabilities.

Lowering costs across the board is important for any business. If that business also includes video production of any kind, the cost of doing business increases quickly. This is no secret, especially for the manufacturers of the various types of equipment to do video production. Fortunately there are still some companies looking to push the products forward technologically but not at the expense of those customers. Avid is one of those companies. With their MediaCentral | Editorial Management, they have given the power for post-production to become a more collaborative environment- allowing anyone on the team to work on projects from anywhere on any workstation at any time. This not only lowers cost in speeding up the process, but it eliminates the need to purchase power-house computers to accomplish next-level work. However if a customer has the financial ability to incorporate an Avid NEXIS | PRO in their workflow, MediaCentral | Editorial Management can also improve your production which will also result in lowered costs. To get the most out of Avid Media Composer | Ultimate across your post-production needs and accelerate your project's workflow, Avid's MediaCentral | Editorial Management is the last piece of the puzzle.

For Avid editors, it provides a completely integrated media panel within Media Composer | Ultimate, making it easy to search and access bins and clips across Avid NEXIS. And it makes it easy for PAs to create and organize projects and bins using a simple browser interface to support the editing team—without requiring Media Composer. Through Avid’s unique HyperBin architecture, it delivers enhanced collaborative capabilities, enabling teams to stay in sync, have greater control over their media, and turn around their best work faster than ever before. Resulting in the ability to accelerate the editing process.

Another request we have received is about managing and controlling the costs associated with post production, as well as being able to leverage the role of the Assistant Editor. With this release of MediaCentral | Editorial Management, there is no need to invest in expensive workstations to jumpstart new projects or facilitate the review process. MediaCentral | Editorial Management enables anyone on the team to create, browse, search for, organize, and manage projects, bins, and media—as well as play sequences—using any computer.

MediaCentral | Editorial Management is easy to deploy and maintain, so you’ll be up and running in no time. It installs through a streamlined configuration wizard and leverages your existing Avid NEXIS user management and access control configurations automatically, so team members only see the workspaces to which they have access....[continue reading]
