Feature Details

Enables editors or journalists in the field to securely edit complete stories from any location, collaborate with distributed teams across complex workflows, and easily deliver content to production facilities.

Automatically manages the transcode, upload and check-in to any connected Avid Interplay system in the background without disrupting an editor's work. Allows users to edit directly from Interplay and pre-defined output processes simplify editing and automatic check-in on the production asset system.

Speeds the crucial transfer of local media from the field by providing the ability to begin uploading media as a story is being edited, intelligently prioritize media transfer based upon working content, and deliver proxy files ahead of full-resolution files.
