Products: SyncVue

A new generation of web-based services, now coming to market, look to deliver useful solutions for collaboration and review.

SeeFile (www.seefile.com), for example, allows users to create shared online repositories to hold video, animation, and other file formats.

For editors, SyncVue solves the constant problem of review sessions — how do you get everyone in the same place at the same time? The software program isn't fancy, but it gets the job done. Since it employs low-cost/no-cost Skype VoIP to handle voice, anyone with access to a computer can join in.

The free SyncVue software (you need to buy a license to hold the online sessions) controls the media, which must be loaded on each computer joining the session. www.syncvue.com
