Instant, automated file format and sequence translation enables Final Cut Pro and Avid editors to share same media, with timelines intact, from a single storage space

Boston, MA – April 20, 2009 — EditShare®, the technology leader in cross platform collaborative editing and shared media storage systems, announced today it has partnered with Automatic Duck to solve workflow productivity issues for postproduction facilities and editing workgroups collaborating on shared media files across disparate editing platforms. As a result of this technology partnership, EditShare is integrating key timeline translation technology from Automatic Duck’s Pro Import FCP and Pro Export FCP solutions into EditShare’s Flow Universal Media File technology. EditShare’s unique Universal Media File technology allows a single media file to be used simultaneously by Apple and Avid editors. The resulting integration enables mixed Avid and Final Cut editing environments to instantly access and edit media files, with entire timelines in tact, from a single pool of media files. This development eliminates the time-intensive, productivity draining process of exporting, re-linking, re-connecting, transcoding and re-importing media – a workflow typical in multi-platform, collaborative environments. This is a tremendous time saver; enhancing overall collaboration. The newly integrated solution will be demonstrated at NAB 2009 (April 20 to 23 in Las Vegas, NV) on the EditShare stand (SL6420). more
