Major improvements to FLOW MAM as well as enhancements to EFS shared storage system expand high availability and scalability and streamline video editing workflows
Boston, MA – November 23, 2021 – EditShare®, the technology leader that enables storytellers to create and manage collaborative media workflows, announced significant updates to its FLOW media asset management (MAM) and EFS shared storage systems. Available today, the new release brings enterprise-level availability and redundancy to FLOW, ensuring continuous, outstanding system performance and uptime from ingest to archive. The high-availability FLOW platform also introduces a slew of user-centric updates including new Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve panel capabilities and proxy support that further simplify working remotely. Complementing the enhanced creative experience are time-saving EFS administrative features that provide smart shortcuts, system transparency, and automation, bringing even more efficiencies to the workflow.
“This release builds on the road-tested success of the high-availability capabilities in EditShare’s award-winning EFS media file system and the company’s commitment to delivering open systems that optimize the integration of innovative 3rd-party solutions,” states Sunil Mudholkar, vice president of product management, EditShare. “With a new enterprise-level high availability architecture in FLOW for both cloud and on-premises, we enable greater scale & resiliency and provide customers with an end-to-end workflow solution that maximizes uptime using the wide range of tools they already know and love.”
“Like many markets, the media industry embraces cloud platforms to enable better remote working and collaboration, trends that are here to stay,” states Frank Della Rosa, research director SaaS, business platforms, and ecosystems IDC. “The EditShare platform is a key technology enabler that facilitates collaboration and secure content management from anywhere. The company’s continued push towards developing open solutions is a major benefit for customers who want to expand beyond the traditional media workflows.”
FLOW High Availability
FLOW’s high availability is achieved by giving its central database multiple points of redundancy to mitigate against hardware or network failures that would affect MAM client accessibility during active productions. Consistent with this, FLOW’s services are scalable and presented as multi-instance, redundant elements within the overall system.
FLOW Panel Enhancements – Adobe® Premiere® Pro and DaVinci Resolve
EditShare’s NLE panel integrations bring the benefits of FLOW directly into Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolves user interfaces, enabling users to access FLOW’s features without leaving the familiar NLE environment.
- Users can now exchange FLOW sequences directly with Adobe Premiere Pro and Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve thanks to the new FLOW Cuts List sequence import function.
- Extended Metadata support lets team members add metadata information to sequences, including custom fields. This improves and enriches metadata associated with sequences.
- AirFLOW now shows sequence metadata in its user interface.
- Improved media relinking logic automatically imports and relinks Hi-Res source footage located within a project’s complex folder structure after completion of a proxy edit.
Support for Multiple Proxy Formats Per Clip
In addition to standard streaming proxies, FLOW can now generate additional high quality ProRes Proxy and H.264 files. This simplifies relinking to complex clips with multichannel audio track layout in remote workflow scenarios.
Storage DNA Archive Support
FLOW now fully supports the latest version of DNA Evolution by Storage DNA. Users can easily archive and restore FLOW assets from third-party LTO/LTFS and disk-based tiers.
In-App Messaging & Guides
EditShare is building on the momentum of bringing better web-based user experiences to customers through the use of in-app guides and feedback messaging capabilities. As the company brings more and more features to the browser-based experience it is their aim to guide these users to the new capabilities and solicit feedback directly within EFS Control and FLOW.
EditShare Telemetry
EditShare Telemetry makes it easy for administrators to share Audit and Monitor data with EditShare’s secure network operations center. Through Telemetry, EditShare can work with customers to ensure systems are running optimally through pro-active monitoring and event alerting. Please contact EditShare technical support or your account representative for more information and to participate in the trial program for this service.

EFS, FLOW, and AirFLOW and Adobe integrations support workflow demands and enable new client service offerings
Boston, MA – October 26, 2021 – EditShare®, a technology leader that enables collaborative media workflows for storytellers, today announced that Brisbane’s leading post-production facility, 3P Studio (3P) has expanded its investment in EditShare’s FLOW media management and EFS storage solutions to manage its growing editorial business. The full-service post-production house, which produces creative content for top brands like Isuzu Motor Company, Subway, and Allianz, has tripled its team over the past three years to support the rise in client projects and campaigns across broadcast, digital, and social channels.
“Our business has reached a point where we need to utilize advanced tools to refine our service offering and delivery,” states Haley McDonald, Founder and Managing Director, 3P Studio. “EditShare workflow solutions and Adobe creative tools have enabled us to make those advancements across our business and deliver a superior level of service.”
Read the 3P spotlight story here: www.editshare.com/CS3P
3P upgraded their EditShare environment to facilitate traditional editorial campaigns and the growing number of fast-turn projects targeted for social, digital, and other marketing channels. The EditShare media foundation connects the facility’s premium creative tools which include Adobe® Premiere® Pro and After Effects®, Avid Pro Tools, Autodesk Maya and Flame, DaVinci Resolve, NUKE, and Maxon’s Cinema 4D, creating a well-integrated ecosystem that optimizes post-production workflows. The talented 3P team of compositors, editors, and color graders can seamlessly collaborate on projects utilizing FLOW and EFS to manage the nuances of file sharing, asset tracking, file formats, and package delivery for multiple channels.
McDonald adds, “More and more client requests are project-specific rather than a campaign. While the content still needs to be delivered across all channels, it has a short-shelf life and smaller budget. The pace from start to finish is accelerated. With our expanded EditShare installation, we have a content factory workflow that gives our clients a first-class post-production experience meeting both their tight timeline and budget requirements.”
The addition of EditShare’s remote media management solution, AirFLOW, to the workflow allowed 3P to offer a “content warehouse” service to its clients. Clients can log in from anywhere, browse through content at their convenience, review work-in-progress and submit project changes. The service removes the burden of clients needing to maintain their own drives or storage servers as all content is stored on the EFS storage platform, maintained by 3P. It also enabled remote collaboration, which was key during the pandemic restrictions.
“EditShare is designed to make it easier for customers like 3P to collaborate with their clients from anywhere,” Paul Hayes, Regional Sales Manager for Asia, EditShare “Rather than having clients send in individual drives to work with, 3P houses all of their content and clients simply log in, browse, and give direction. EditShare speeds up the entire workflow enabling 3P to create space and scale their business in new directions while creating a more personalized service for their clients.”
“We love seeing studios such as 3P tap into the power of our Adobe Creative Cloud apps, like Premiere Pro and After Effects,” said Sue Skidmore, head of partner relations for Adobe video. “EditShare takes advantage of Adobe panel APIs and other integration features that bring media management right into the creative applications, enabling users to pivot their productions and deliver high-quality content quickly.”
