EGG Post Production & VFX Enhances 4K and Remote Workflows with EditShare’s Advanced Storage Solutions

New technology boosts performance for high-resolution post-production and flexible workflows

Boston, MA, 4 August 2025: EGG Post Production & VFX, one of Ireland’s leading post-production facilities, has expanded its capabilities with a significant storage upgrade from EditShare. This investment supports EGG’s growing demand for high-performance workflows, including 4K and beyond colour grading, while improving remote collaboration and workflow flexibility.

The project was delivered in collaboration with Tyrell, EditShare’s long-time channel partner in Ireland, who worked closely with EGG and EditShare to scope, install, and support the new system.

Founded in 2004 by editors Gary Shortall and Gareth Young, EGG has built a strong reputation for its award-winning editing, finishing, sound, and VFX services. The company delivers content for major Irish, UK, and US broadcasters, as well as audiences worldwide, making reliability and efficiency in their storage infrastructure critical to their operations.

To meet these demands, EGG has integrated EditShare’s 96TB NVMe and EFS300 256TB storage solutions, replacing an older system that could no longer support the increasing technical requirements of high-resolution workflows. The upgrade consolidates all offline, online, grading, and VFX under a single vendor, improving overall efficiency and project management.

One of the most valuable additions to EGG’s workflow is EditShare’s Swift Link technology,  which allows creative teams to access media and work on projects from any location. As productions increasingly demand flexible, hybrid workflows, Swift Link ensures that EGG’s editors, colorists, and VFX artists maintain seamless productivity, whether on-site or remote. The ability to securely stream high-resolution content without performance compromise has been transformative for EGG’s post-production pipeline.

Gareth Young, CEO and Co-Founder of EGG, emphasized the continued value of the partnership with EditShare: “We’ve trusted EditShare for over eight years, and this latest upgrade reinforces why we continue to rely on them. The combination of high-performance storage, local European support, and the flexibility provided by Swift Link made this the right choice for our team.”

Since going live last summer, the upgraded system has enabled EGG to serve as a reference site for high-end grading workflows. The team has praised the simplicity and speed of Swift Link for remote collaboration, without sacrificing the performance needed for complex post-production tasks.

Tara Montford, EVP of Sales and Co-Founder of EditShare, added: “EGG represents the kind of forward-thinking post facility that pushes the boundaries of creative and technical excellence. We’re proud to support their next chapter with a solution that combines performance, flexibility, and security, delivering everything they need to meet the demands of high-resolution workflows, both in-studio and remotely.”

Introduction

Accidental leaks of pre-release content can lead to significant financial losses and reputational damage. For professionals in film, television, and corporate video production, safeguarding sensitive material is paramount. EditShare’s SafeStream technology provides a robust solution to prevent unauthorized distribution and trace leaks back to their source, making it a trusted and secure video sharing solution for modern workflows.

What Is SafeStream?

SafeStream is a real-time video watermarking technology that embeds both visible and invisible (forensic) watermarks into video content, ensuring each copy is uniquely traceable. This dual-layered approach not only deters unauthorized sharing but also facilitates accountability by identifying the source of any leaks. It’s ideal for use as a watermarked video sharing platform or video DRM platform for media screeners.

How SafeStream Works

Visible Watermarks

Visible watermarks display user-specific information directly on the video, such as the viewer’s name or email address. This personalization discourages recipients from sharing the content, as they know it can be traced back to them.

Forensic Watermarks

Forensic watermarks are invisible markers embedded within the video file. They allow content owners to trace the origin of a leak without altering the viewing experience. This is particularly useful when visible watermarks are not feasible and when using an embargoed content distribution tool is critical.

Benefits of Using SafeStream

Implementing SafeStream in Your Workflow

Integrating SafeStream into your post-production process is straightforward. It can be applied during content review stages, internal screenings, or when sharing with external stakeholders. By embedding watermarks at these critical points, you maintain control over your content throughout its lifecycle.

Conclusion

Accidental leaks can have devastating consequences for media professionals. SafeStream offers a proactive approach to content security, combining visible and forensic watermarking to deter unauthorized sharing and effectively trace leaks. By incorporating SafeStream into your workflow, you protect your content, your reputation, and your career with a best-in-class secure video sharing solution.

If you’re managing video production with traditional IT storage, chances are your team is running into performance issues—dropped frames, offline media, slow load times, and frustrated editors. And it’s not their fault. They’re doing high-stakes creative work with tools that weren’t designed for the job.

Here’s why it’s happening—and what to do about it.

The IT Storage Problem

Most general-purpose IT storage systems are built to handle lots of small files and transactions—think emails, documents, or databases. These are low-throughput, high-IOPS (input/output operations per second) environments.

Video is the opposite.

Editing high-resolution media requires sustained throughput to stream large video files in real time. When multiple editors are working simultaneously, that demand only increases. Traditional IT storage just wasn’t built for this kind of load, and trying to make it work can lead to serious performance bottlenecks and creative downtime.

Dropped Frames Are a Symptom—Not the Root Cause

Dropped frames, playback lag, and crashes are warning signs that your storage system is under stress. These issues can interrupt workflows, delay projects and make collaboration nearly impossible. Editors may spend more time waiting for media to load than actually cutting footage.

And when projects go offline or files disappear mid-edit, you’re not just losing time and money—you’re losing trust.

The Case for Purpose-Built Storage

At EditShare, we’ve spent over a decade solving these problems for media teams so they can worry about the finished product, not storage. Our EFS shared storage system is engineered from the ground up to support the unique needs of video production. That means:

The Bottom Line

If you’re still relying on traditional IT storage, your team is working harder than they need to. Creative professionals deserve a system that supports their workflow, not one that holds them back.

It’s time to upgrade to a storage platform built for media.

Best Practices for Organizing Teams and Reviewers in MediaSilo

When you’re managing video review workflows across multiple projects, the way you structure access to your content matters just as much as the content itself.

Too often, creative teams wrestle with outdated permission systems that force them to duplicate users, manually reassign roles, or rely on blanket access levels that don’t reflect the nuances of their team. That’s why in MediaSilo, flexible user management isn’t just a feature, it’s foundational.

Here’s how to organize your workspace and projects for clarity, security, and efficiency.

Step 1: Understand the Difference Between User Types and Roles

MediaSilo uses a two-tier system for managing people:

There are three user types in MediaSilo:

Best Practice: Assign workspace-level roles conservatively. Most collaborators only need project-level access.

Step 2: Use Project Roles to Tailor Access

Once a user is added to a project, you can choose from predefined roles or create custom roles with granular permissions. This lets you match access to the actual work someone needs to do.

Built-in project roles include:

Custom roles let you go even further, allowing you to cherry-pick the permissions that user can have based on:

Best Practice: For external vendors or freelancers, start with a limited built-in role like Uploader, then build a custom role if they need more access over time.

Step 3: Assign One User, Multiple Roles – Without Duplicates

One of MediaSilo’s most powerful and unique features is that a single user can be assigned different roles across multiple projects, without being re-invited or duplicated.

That means:

Best Practice: Take advantage of this flexibility to avoid over-permissioning. No need to clone or re-invite the same user across projects – just assign the right role per project.

Step 4: Group Your Projects by Function or Campaign

Whether you’re managing episodic content, branded campaigns, or FYC rollouts, it helps to mirror your real-world workflow inside MediaSilo. Organize projects based on:

Then assign reviewers only to the projects relevant to them.

Best Practice: Resist the urge to dump everything into one project with a long access list. Smaller, clearly scoped projects make permissioning cleaner and reduce confusion for collaborators.

Step 5: Audit Access and Adjust As Needed

As projects evolve, so do roles. MediaSilo makes it easy to:

Best Practice: Set recurring calendar reminders to audit access for active projects – especially when screeners are shared externally.

Final Thought

Your MediaSilo workspace is more than just a holding pen for content; it’s the foundation of your review and approval pipeline. When your teams and reviewers are organized with the right level of access at every stage, you can move faster, collaborate better, and reduce risk across the board.

With MediaSilo’s flexible user types, project-specific roles, and customizable permissions, you can fine-tune access without the hassle, so the right people always have the right permissions, right when they need them.

What’s Working, What’s Broken, and What’s Next

A System Under Strain

The way creative teams review and approve video content hasn’t kept up with the speed and complexity of modern production. What was once a straightforward process to send a cut, get feedback, make changes has turned into something much messier. More stakeholders. Tighter timelines. Higher expectations for security and speed. And yet, many of the tools teams rely on still reflect an outdated reality.

After speaking with dozens of post-production professionals, editors, and creative teams, one clear theme emerged. Review and approval is one of the biggest bottlenecks in modern video production. Not because it’s inherently complex, but because the tools meant to support it often create as many problems as they solve.

The Three Jobs of Review & Approve

At its core, every review and approval workflow exists to do three things:

  1. Make sharing easy and reliable. Creators need to distribute content quickly, without worrying about slow uploads, playback issues, or access problems.
  2. Ensure control and security.  Teams need to know who has access, who has seen what, and ensure that sensitive content stays protected from leaks or unauthorized distribution.
  3. Gather feedback efficiently. The review process should capture input in a way that’s structured, clear, and actually moves the project forward.

When these jobs are done well, creative teams stay focused on the work instead of fighting the process. When they break down, frustration sets in, deadlines slip, and teams resort to workarounds that only make things worse.

Job 1: Make Sharing Easy and Reliable

At its best: Content reaches the right people without login friction, playback issues, or speed bumps. Sharing and access happen without unnecessary delays.

At its worst: The simple act of sharing a video turns into a technical problem. Uploads stall, links break, playback stutters, and creatives become the de facto IT support for their own projects.

How this job actually gets done:

Where tools fall short:

Job 2: Ensure Control and Security

At its best: The team knows exactly who has access to what, security settings are intuitive, and no one loses sleep over leaks or unauthorized sharing.

At its worst: Review links get passed around unchecked, high-value content ends up in the wrong hands, and teams don’t know if their work-in-progress has been accessed by the right people.

How this job actually gets done:

Where tools fall short:

Job 3: Gather Feedback Efficiently

At its best: Feedback flows naturally, whether it happens inside the platform or elsewhere. Every note is clear, relevant, and easy to act on.

At its worst: Comments are scattered across emails, Slack messages, and spreadsheets. Reviewers hesitate to leave feedback because the process is too rigid or clunky.

How this job actually gets done:

Where tools fall short:

What’s Next for Review & Approve Tools?

The next generation of review & approve workflows won’t just replicate existing processes with better UI. They’ll solve the deeper inefficiencies that frustrate teams today. Based on what we’re hearing, here’s where things are headed:

Final Thoughts

After so many conversations with creative teams, one thing is clear: review and approval isn’t just about technology it’s about how work actually gets done. The best tools make sure the parts of the workflow that “just have to work” don’t even need to be thought about, and they acknowledge that different teams get feedback on their work in different ways.

The future of review and approval isn’t about adding more features—it’s about removing friction. The teams getting this right aren’t just adopting new tools; they’re embracing smarter, simpler workflows that help them move faster, stay secure, and focus on the work that matters.

Creative teams using MediaSilo can share, review, and get feedback on their content without friction, ensuring their work reaches the right people, stays secure, and moves forward without unnecessary delays.

Chaos is not a workflow

Let’s be honest, unstructured media management is a mess. Hard drives sometimes get stacked like a game of Jenga, file names that might as well be written in a different language, and the ever dreaded moment when you realize the footage you need now is… somewhere. That’s not a workflow. That’s an obstacle course. And it’s slowing you down.

Adobe Insights: Creatives are wasting time

In a recent Adobe Transform Content Creation white paper, the research indicated that creative professionals often spend a significant portion of their workweek on repetitive tasks, including organizing content. Specifically, four out of ten creatives dedicate more than half of their workweek to such activities. That is a staggering number. Creatives are talented but they are  expensive. You don’t want them spending that amount of time organizing content.

Meet FLOW: The digital glue of your workflow

If your creative process feels like herding cats, FLOW Media Management is the solution you didn’t know you needed. Whether your assets are on-premise, in the cloud, or anywhere in between, FLOW brings order to the chaos.

FLOW isn’t just a tool, it’s the digital glue that holds your workflow together. Whether you’re editing from a high-end post suite or editing off your kitchen table, just like covid times,  FLOW keeps everything connected so you can focus on creating, not searching.

The Final Word

Not using FLOW is like editing with boxing gloves on – unnecessary, frustrating, and painfully annoying. Creative teams that embrace proper media management are faster, more efficient, and definitely less stressed.
