EFS Video Tutorials

The past few years have reshaped the way creative teams operate, with hybrid and fully-remote workflows becoming the norm rather than the exception. Post-production teams now collaborate across studios, time zones, and cloud platforms, and the stakes for protecting valuable content are higher than ever.

To keep projects moving without exposing sensitive assets, secure digital platforms have become essential, not optional.

This is exactly where MediaSilo excels: enabling teams to collaborate easily while offering enterprise-grade protection for works-in-progress, pre-release cuts, and promotional materials.

The rise of distributed post pipelines, AI-assisted editing tools, and global delivery schedules means visibility control, watermarking, and access management are no longer “best practices,” they’re survival requirements.

Whether you’re new to MediaSilo or looking to get more from your current workspace, here are five key platform capabilities to keep your post-production workflow protected.

1. Customize user access with workspace and project permissions

Today’s productions rely on flexible teams filled with freelancers, agencies, remote VFX studios, finishing houses, marketing teams, and internal stakeholders.

MediaSilo’s multi-level user access controls let you manage them all confidently.

• Assign specific User Types to define workspace-wide visibility
• Apply custom Roles to define who can view, upload, download, or share
  • Asset Permissions: View, Delete, Download, Edit, Upload
  • Commenting Permissions: View, Create, Edit or none
  • Sharing Permissions: internal or external
• Set rules at the project level to ensure collaborators only see what’s relevant
• Limit unwanted resharing by disabling download or forwarding permissions

These granular permissions are especially valuable when teams share assets early with AI-assisted editing or captioning partners, where strict access limitations are required.

2. Gate externally shared content with secure link controls

When files must leave your workspace, whether for review, approval, or distribution, MediaSilo provides multiple controlled sharing options.

Private Links require identity authentication before any access is granted, ensuring the recipient truly is who they say they are.

You can also:

• Create Public Links with optional download control
• Use passwords on public shares
• Set automatic link expiration
• Track engagement and revoke access at any time

Automatic expiration has become a key compliance practice as more studios adopt SOC2 and TPN standards.

3. Protect against theft and leaks with SafeStream watermarking

MediaSilo’s SafeStream technology remains one of the strongest safeguards against unwanted leaks, either visual or forensic.

SafeStream offers two complementary options:

Visible watermarking

• Unique per viewer
• Can display name, email, timestamp, image or logo.
• Discourages screenshots and unauthorized sharing

Invisible (forensic) watermarking

• Embedded metadata that can trace any distributed copy
• Does not hinder the viewing experience

SafeStream can be applied at the project, org admin, or template level.

Studios increasingly enforce forensic watermarking for AI dubbing and localization workflows, where multiple vendors receive pre-release assets.

4. Log in securely with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Strong authentication remains one of the most effective defenses against unauthorized access.

MediaSilo’s MFA feature adds an extra verification step beyond username and password.

• Users can self-enable MFA in their profile
• Admins can require organization-wide MFA
• MFA is simple to deploy and manage

For media teams without SSO (Single Sign-On) infrastructure, MFA provides robust security without additional IT overhead.

5. Track and control content activity in real time

Security isn’t just about restricting access; it’s about visibility.

MediaSilo’s Insights dashboard gives you real-time oversight across your entire workspace:

• See all links created by anyone on your team
• Track views, downloads, and device information
• Adjust expiration or revoke access instantly
• View geographic access data
• Trace suspicious behavior down to the IP level

These insights make compliance reviews faster and help you pinpoint misuse before it becomes a crisis.

MediaSilo’s expanded audit trails have become critical for distributed editorial teams working on tightly embargoed content.

Future-Proof Your Post-Production Workflow

Hybrid work. Distributed creatives. AI-assisted editing. Secure sharing across borders. The workflows of today (and tomorrow) require thoughtful security.

MediaSilo helps you:

• Protect pre-release content
• Collaborate across teams anywhere
• Maintain compliance with security standards
• Keep editors and producers focused on creative tasks, not IT risk

If you’re ready to strengthen your post-production pipeline, we’re here to help.

Start a hands-on trial and see how MediaSilo enhances security without slowing down creativity.

In today’s media landscape, content is no longer a linear path from A to B. It’s a complex web of multi-format media, distributed teams, and ever-shifting delivery requirements. As projects span multiple generations of technology and pull from diverse external partners, many facilities find themselves trapped in a workflow environment defined by fragmentation and potential error.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re managing files instead of creating content, you’re not alone. But in 2026, staying competitive requires more than just storage. It requires a “workflow brain.”

Are You Using the Right Tool for the Job?

One of the biggest hurdles in modern production is the confusion between different asset management systems. While the terms are often used interchangeably, using the wrong system for your specific needs can lead to significant inefficiencies.

Our latest white paper, “Smarter Workflows, Stronger Output,” breaks down these critical distinctions to help you design a smarter, more scalable pipeline:

• Digital Asset Management (DAM): The long-term home for your finished brand libraries and archives.
• Media Asset Management (MAM): The system for finding, sharing, and approving media throughout its lifecycle.
• Production Asset Management (PAM): The core of the creative process, governing how editorial teams collaborate directly within project timelines without conflict.

More Than Just Storage: Orchestrating Your Success

A true PAM doesn’t just shuttle files from one place to another; it actively protects the context surrounding your media. From automating repetitive tasks to enriching metadata at every stage of the process, a PAM like EditShare FLOW ensures that your information becomes more useful, not more fragmented, as it moves through the workflow.

Whether you are navigating the challenges of remote collaboration, managing complex metadata schemas for broadcasters, or trying to surface QC issues hours before delivery, the right asset management strategy is foundational infrastructure.

What’s Inside the White Paper?

• The Implementation Roadmap: Why most workflow failures happen and how to plan for a “living” digital system.
• Ingest vs. Delivery: How to eliminate upstream headaches by using automation and smart orchestration.
• Scalability Strategies: Questions to ask today to ensure your tools support the codecs and editing tools of tomorrow.
• Workflow Analytics: Using data to improve processes and refine training rather than just “blaming the operator.”

Don’t let your workflow limit what’s possible in a digital, collaborative environment. Learn how to build a dependable system that eliminates chaos and improves efficiency.

Media workflows are changing fast, not because of hype cycles, but because the volume, velocity, and expectations around video keep rising. Sports teams, brands, and enterprises are producing more content than ever, with distributed teams and tighter margins.

To understand what that means for 2026, I sat down with our CEO, Brad Turner, to talk through the trends he sees most clearly in customer conversations and how those realities are shaping EditShare’s roadmap.

Below, we break down the three trends that matter most and the practical implications behind them.

Trend 1: Sports teams and brands are becoming media companies

Sports organizations and large brands aren’t dabbling in content anymore, but running full-time production operations. What used to live with agencies is increasingly moving in-house, driven by the need for quicker turnaround, more control, and content tailored for dozens of distribution channels.

This shift has real staffing and workflow implications.

As Brad explains, editors are moving into non-traditional media roles and taking on different types of work than they did a decade ago. Agencies are still part of the ecosystem, but they’re no longer the default for day-to-day content. Instead, internal teams are being built to support always-on production, especially in sports and large corporate environments.

That shift creates a second-order problem: infrastructure that wasn’t designed to scale.

Most of these teams start small: a few editors, a handful of tools, and external drives stitched together with cloud services. That approach works early on, but over time, it becomes expensive, fragile, and hard to manage. Media sprawls. Costs creep up. Finding assets turns into a guessing game.

What Brad emphasizes here isn’t a single “right” architecture, but sustainability. Teams need to understand where their content volume is heading, how much work is local versus remote, and how often assets will need to move between storage tiers.

Rebuilding infrastructure every few years isn’t just disruptive. Migrating media is slow, costly, and risky.

The takeaway: content operations need systems that can grow with them, not quick fixes that collapse under scale.

Trend 2: AI is everywhere — but practicality matters more than promise

AI has become unavoidable in media technology conversations. But for most production teams, the question isn’t whether to use AI, it’s whether it actually saves time, reduces cost, and fits within security requirements.

Analytical AI — transcription, scene detection, logo, and facial recognition — directly addresses real production pain points: finding footage, reusing content, and eliminating manual busywork. But even those use cases come with constraints.

Cost, speed, accuracy, and security all matter, and optimizing one often impacts the others. Many teams are uncomfortable sending media offsite, even proxies. Others have been burned by AI services that fail, misidentify content, or charge repeatedly for reprocessing.

The result is skepticism, and rightly so.

EditShare is approaching this problem differently: integrating analytical AI directly into asset management workflows, rather than bolting it on as a separate service. The goal is simple: search once, find what you need, and move on, without duplicating effort or introducing new security risks.

This applies both on-prem and in the cloud. As Brad notes, customers don’t all want the same thing, and forcing them into a single deployment model creates friction. Practical AI needs to work where the media already lives, at a cost and speed that make sense for production teams.

Trend 3: Remote and hybrid work isn’t going away — complexity is increasing

Remote work isn’t a temporary adjustment anymore. Freelancers, agencies, in-house teams, and compliance stakeholders all need access to the same content, often at the same time.

The challenge isn’t just remote editing. It’s secure, reliable access across a fragmented workforce.

Most organizations now operate with mixed teams: internal staff, freelancers, and external partners. That means more people need access to content, and not all of them are on the same network, or even in the same time zone.

What customers consistently ask for is simple: the link should work, and it should point to the right version of the asset.

Security requirements complicate things further. Some organizations want everything on-premise, while others are cloud-native and don’t want to manage infrastructure at all. Most sit somewhere in between.

Brad’s key point is that there’s no single buyer profile anymore, and systems need to accommodate different security models without breaking workflows. That means fewer links, clearer versioning, and access that’s secure without being cumbersome.

When remote sharing fails, it doesn’t fail quietly. It slows reviews, creates confusion, and introduces risk, especially when multiple versions of the same asset are circulating.

What this means for 2026

Across all three trends, the pattern is consistent: media teams are being asked to do more, with more people involved, across more platforms, all without increasing complexity or cost.

Brad’s perspective reflects what customers are already experiencing:

• Content volume is growing faster than infrastructure plans
• AI must be useful, not experimental
• Remote collaboration has to be reliable and secure, not improvised

These realities are shaping how EditShare is thinking about product development in 2026, with a focus on sustainability, practicality, and workflows that hold up under pressure.

EditShare’s 2025 Milestones & What’s Next for 2026

As we near the close of 2025, I’ve been reflecting on a central theme: momentum. This year hasn’t just been about steady progress; it’s been about leaps forward in how media teams create, collaborate, and deliver across global operations.

It’s been a year in which we challenged ourselves to do more and to do it smarter.

2025: A Year of Innovation, Integration & Impact

When I think of the stories from this past year, a few threads stand out:

NAB & IBC: Showcases of Progress

At NAB 2025, we rolled out enhancements across EFS, FLOW, and more, demonstrating how EditShare continues to lead in media workflows.

At IBC 2025, our announcements included new performance innovations in both the Ultimate storage portfolio and FLOW’s capabilities.

These events weren’t just about product launches; they were opportunities to see how real users deploy, test, and push our systems in the wild.

FLOW: More Than a Tool; A Platform for Transformation

One of our proudest achievements this year has been advancing the FLOW ecosystem in ways that directly address customer pain points, especially around media management and automation.

• We launched FLOW Core: Log, Search & Organize, enabling teams to centralize media assets across tiers (on-prem, nearline, cloud), with advanced search, metadata, and intuitively organized structures.
• We have made FLOW Core available with an unlimited license, so organizations aren’t constrained by seat count when scaling their media operations.
• Through FLOW Automation, we’ve extended what “hands-off media processing” means—intelligent workflows capable of handling ingest, transcoding, tagging, file movement, QC, and more, all based on triggers and templates.
• We reinforced how these capabilities tie in with storage: as EFS scales, FLOW scales, allowing media teams to focus on creativity, not infrastructure.

Together, these advances have helped customers reduce the “grunt work” of media production, improve asset discoverability, and better connect distributed teams.

MediaSilo & Screeners.com: Raising the Bar for Secure, High-Performance Video

This year was especially transformative for our SaaS ecosystem, with major breakthroughs across MediaSilo and Screeners.com.

We introduced a next-generation forensic watermarking engine that dramatically improved both playback quality and extraction speed. By reducing the required video duration for a valid forensic pull from three minutes down to just 20 seconds, we not only strengthened content security but also enhanced the viewer experience across devices and bandwidth conditions.

On Screeners.com, we rolled out an entirely new viewing experience. Modernized, elegant, and optimized for the way today’s marketing, awards, and distribution teams screen content. With faster load times, improved accessibility, and a fresh design, the new viewer delivers a more intuitive, cinematic experience for creators and audiences alike.

Together, these innovations advanced our mission to deliver world-class, secure, and scalable video experiences for media organizations around the globe.

Growth, Reach, and Resilience

Beyond the technology, 2025 saw deeper engagement in new markets, more customers entrusting us with complex workflows, and stronger alliances with partners who bring EditShare into local contexts. Our support systems, deployment capabilities, and channel network all matured this year to match the demands of bigger, more geographically distributed media operations.

To Our Community, a Forward Look

2025 was a year we delivered together. Our customers, partners, and teams challenged us, questioned assumptions, and shaped our priorities. The results are visible: shorter turnaround times, media libraries that “just work,” and global teams collaborating without friction.

As we welcome 2026, my hope is simple: that each of you using EditShare feels confident that the platform is evolving, responsive, and always working to alleviate frustration, not add complexity.

Let’s keep raising expectations, not just of what media tech can do, but of how technology should serve creativity.

Here’s to another bold year.

Brad Turner
CEO, EditShare

When you walk into George Blood LP’s facility in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, it feels like stepping into both a high-tech lab and a living museum. Walls lined with equipment spanning decades of media history tell the story of a company that says “yes” to any preservation challenge. From rare audio formats to 4K film, George Blood LP has built a reputation for solving problems others can’t.

That relentless approach has fueled rapid growth. What started as an audio preservation shop has expanded into large-scale film and video digitization, serving clients as varied as national broadcasters, universities, cultural foundations, and the Library of Congress. Over the last decade, workloads have multiplied several times over, pushing the company’s infrastructure to its limits.

Hitting the Wall with Legacy Storage

For years, George Blood LP relied on a 300TB spinning disk SAN connected via a mix of fiber and SMB protocols. As demand grew, throughput requirements ballooned from 8–10 terabytes a day to as much as 50. Multiple film scanners, video ingest rooms, rendering, QC, and delivery workflows all competed for bandwidth. The result: dropped frames, bottlenecks, and engineers fighting the system instead of focusing on the work.

“Our existing storage just couldn’t sustain what we were asking of it,” recalled Jared Gibson, Video Team Lead at George Blood LP. “We needed speed, stability, and capacity to keep growing.”

A Partner-Led Search for a New Backbone

Working with Key Code Media, a nationwide systems integrator which has supported George Blood for many years. George Blood LP evaluated multiple storage vendors. Sustained high-speed ingest, heavy simultaneous reads/writes, and reliability across dozens of connected clients were non-negotiable.

Key Code Media recommended EditShare, and testing quickly proved it was the right fit. Verified by LaserGraphics as the only storage capable of handling its scanners’ performance requirements, EditShare provided the reliability and throughput George Blood LP needed.

Performance That Changed Everything

From the moment the EditShare Ultimate NVMe nodes went live, the results were clear. “We pushed the system as hard as we could, and we couldn’t break it,” said Gibson. “In stress tests we sustained 16 gigabytes per second in writes, well above our expectations. With our previous SAN, we were constantly dropping frames and struggling to keep up. With EditShare, the bottlenecks are gone.”

The system now supports massive daily ingest across multiple 2K and 4K film scanners, high-volume video rooms, rendering, QC, and delivery processes, all without faltering. Stress tests with more than 80 clients confirmed stability far beyond normal workloads, providing headroom for years of continued growth.

Enabling Growth Without Compromise

The performance leap has unlocked a new level of capability. George Blood LP can now sustain high-volume digitization while maintaining the precision restoration quality that made their name. “I’m just so enamored by the performance of the storage,” said Jared Gibson. “It’s brought so much relief to the team, our growth and our hardware are now in sync and that changes everything.”

George Blood’s unique market position combines the ability to handle bulk digitization with the high fidelity expected of specialist restoration houses. “We can take on a semi-truck of media and still deliver at the highest quality,” said George Blood, President of George Blood LP. “We’re proud to combine scale with the care these collections deserve, and EditShare has given us the infrastructure we needed to meet the demand.”

Enhanced performance and expanded capacity support the school’s growing project load and evolving production training.

Boston, MA, 4 December 2025: EditShare, the technology leader in intelligent shared storage and media management, today announced that The National Film and Television School (NFTS) has completed a major refresh of its EditShare environment, expanding the school’s tiered storage, boosting performance for high-end editorial work and introducing MediaSilo for secure review and approvals. The project was delivered in partnership with Jigsaw24 Media.

The new deployment strengthens one of the busiest film and tv production environments in Europe. NFTS runs a continuous slate of real productions across fiction, documentary, entertainment, animation and commercial content. The facility continues to grow its student intake and is adding new on-campus accommodation designed to support students with additional accessibility needs, as part of a wider development programme backed by government, student fees and industry contributions.

NFTS first standardized on EditShare five years ago. The existing platform has supported heavy, multi-department production workloads without issue, so continuing with EditShare was the natural choice as the school expanded. The latest investment introduces a tiered architecture combining high-capacity nearline storage, a refreshed high-availability (HA) layer and a new NVMe performance tier designed for 4K, 8K and VFX-heavy workflows that demand high-bandwidth, multi-stream editorial performance.

“EditShare sits at the heart of how we teach production at NFTS,” said Doug Shannon, Head of Systems and IT at the National Film and Television School. “The new tiered storage and NVMe layer give our students the bandwidth they need to work the way modern productions do, while FLOW and MediaSilo help us keep projects organized, secure and accessible across multiple courses. It means we can support more concurrent projects and higher resolutions without adding unnecessary overhead for the IT team.”

“EditShare has been a core part of how the school runs day-to-day production training,” said Sean Bradley, Regional Sales Director at EditShare. “The refresh gives them faster bandwidth, more resilience and room to grow as they continue to push student projects into higher resolutions and more complex workflows.”

With MediaSilo now part of the system, students and tutors gain an efficient way to collect notes, share cuts securely and maintain version control across multiple editorial teams.

The infrastructure refresh supports the school’s broader development plans, including new teaching spaces and the addition of on-site accessible accommodation. These updates are part of a long-term strategy to broaden access to the creative industries and improve support for students from a wide range of backgrounds.

Bradley added, “The school’s requirements are growing year after year. Reliability and performance were key drivers for them, and the new system sets them up well for the next stage of their growth.”

In modern media production, collaboration happens across teams, time zones, and devices. So do security risks. From pre-release footage to client deliverables, every shared video file represents a potential vulnerability. 

For global creative teams, protecting intellectual property and maintaining control over how assets are viewed, downloaded, and distributed is no longer optional, it’s mission-critical.

That’s why top studios, agencies, and post-production houses rely on MediaSilo, the industry’s leading secure collaboration platform for post-production. With SafeStream watermark technology, you can confidently share works-in-progress with reviewers, executives, or clients, without ever sacrificing security or creative control.

Why Watermark Tech Matters in Media and Entertainment

The media and entertainment industry loses billions each year to content leaks and video piracy. A single unauthorized share can undermine months of creative work and jeopardize client trust. Traditional access controls alone aren’t enough; you need video review and approval software that actively prevents misuse and identifies the source of leaks.

That’s where digital watermarking, a cornerstone of secure video collaboration, comes in. By embedding visible or forensic identifiers into video files, watermarking ensures every copy is traceable, and every viewer is accountable.

Beyond security, watermarking also reinforces brand visibility by placing your company name or logo directly in the content you share.

Why Choose SafeStream Watermark Tech in MediaSilo

MediaSilo’s SafeStream is an enterprise-grade watermarking solution built for media review workflow management. It layers security into every stage of post-production—automatically, and without disrupting your creative process.

SafeStream Includes Two Powerful Watermarking Options:

1. Visible Watermarking

• Overt, highly visible deterrent that displays user information such as full name, email, or custom text.
• Prevents leaks by making unauthorized sharing easily traceable.
• Reinforces brand presence with centrally placed logos and identifiers.
  

2. Forensic Watermarking

• Invisible, embedded identifiers that survive re-encoding or cropping.
• Allows teams to track the exact origin of leaked videos without impacting playback quality.
• Can be combined with visible watermarking for dual-layer protection.
  

The Difference: Other Tools vs. MediaSilo SafeStream

Feature / Capability	Typical Video Collaboration Tool	MediaSilo with SafeStream
Watermark Customization	Basic overlays	Custom templates with viewer name, email, and text
Forensic Watermarking	Not supported	Embedded, tamper-resistant watermarks
Admin Control	Limited permissions	Enforced watermark templates at project or org level
Tracking Leaks	Manual process	Automated viewer tracking for every asset
Security Compliance	Standard	Enterprise-grade protection built for post-production

Benefits of Securing Your Content with SafeStream

• Enforce organization-wide watermark policies to ensure every file shared externally is protected.
• Mandate templates at the admin level for consistency and compliance.
• Track who viewed or downloaded content and when, creating an audit trail for accountability.
• Create custom watermark templates for specific clients, teams, or projects.
• Combine SafeStream with other MediaSilo collaboration tools for an end-to-end secure review and approval workflow.

Every asset shared through MediaSilo becomes a controlled, traceable touchpoint, strengthening both your workflow and your brand reputation.

Why MediaSilo Leads in Secure Collaboration

The MediaSilo cloud collaboration platform goes beyond file sharing. It integrates video review, approval, and feedback tools with robust security controls, allowing creative teams to collaborate freely—without risking exposure.
